Hi there! We're Jackie & Jim. I (Jackie) grew up in Menasha WI which is part of the Fox Cities (Appleton) metro region. Jim, on the other hand, grew up in rural Manitowoc County - primarily in the western part of the county. It was, as he tells me, rural living at it's finest! It wasn't uncommon to see an occasional tractor driving through one to the small rural communities or hearing of cows roaming around loose on a side road. I still live in Menasha, while Jim has moved to Appleton, but we're both dreaming of the day when we can get out of the "city" and make our home in the country...maybe northwest Iowa.
