We are Mick & Jenny Daly -- "The Dalys". In 1987 we left England for a
two year assignment in Dallas, Texas, with IBM, Mick's employer of 19
years. Three years later we decided to make this great country our
permanent home.
Many times we've been asked why
we left "this green and pleasant land" for Texas (pleasant but not all
that green, except in spring - a very short season indeed!). The weather
has a lot to do with it, and the other reasons have all to do with that
elusive concept: "freedom".
Back in 1990 Mick was in middle management with IBM,
successful but dissatisfied. Jenny was an ex-teacher and full-time mother,
who saw our sons heading off to college, and wondered "what next?".
So we started a home-based business part-time.
The following year we realized the first of our goals: Mick left the
corporate world behind, to become a Homepreneur. Nowadays the
home-based business is a fast growing trend.
In late 1997, after 11 happy years
in Texas, we sold our home to realize a life-long dream, by taking our
business "on the road" as full-time RVers. We happily converted
from Homepreneurs to RVpreneurs!
Four years later another dream was
realized: we built our dream log home in the Rocky Mountains. We know God
is everywhere, but we really feel close to Him up here, where we can fully
enjoy the grandeur and beauty of His creation. Now we are back to being
Homepreneurs.
We are, above all, Christians and so grateful for all the
blessings God has given us in this life and for eternity. We wish the same
for you - especially His gift of
Salvation.
On August 4th 2002 we were
baptized in the Frying Pan River by our pastors, with many church members
and Ben, Jennifer and baby Owen in attendance. What a day, what an
experience - we thank God every day!
Since then our family has grown and grown: we now have 6 wonderful
grandchildren who live very close to our new home in
Eagle, Colorado (near
Vail), which our super sons built for us in 2008/2009.
God bless,
Eagle, Colorado USA
