Hi, my name is Joyce Ward. I am a mother, grandmother, and a passionate lover of nature and all the creatures that we come in contact with.
My incentive for "Where is Bobbi" arose out of an experience with a friendly quail, called a "Bob White".

I grew up on a hobby farm near Battle Creek, Michigan, and my father had a passion for "low tech" farming, and producing what we ate - fruits, vegetables, milk from our cows, and meat. My childhood revolved around the little "working farm" and the efforts that go into that venue.
My passion for man's best friend and all four and two legged creatures comes naturally, as I was surrounded by creatures (big and small) all my life, and I feel that children need that special bond to know how important it is to protect them and their environment.
