About Me

Since 1988, the Silverstein Ranch has been occupied by owners Jeff and Cyd Silverstein. In 1988, first ranch-hand Harlyn Jacob came on board. In 1992, the family decided to recruit Sadie Beth, and a few years later, Levy, our Golden Retriever made his way into our lives and our hearts. Although Amanda doesnt live at the Ranch... she and Peter (Harder) are busy cultivating their own brood. Mandy, as we have always called her, and Peter have blessed us with Zach (age 7), Faith (age 5), Ian (age 2), and one 'en route'. Mandy et al come to visit us about once a month. They live in Altona, which is about an hour out of town. So... there you have it. I thought it would be good to have a little space to call our own.. where we could share our lives with the people who care to read about us. So... welcome. Relax, take yer shoes off.. and 'set a spell' :)

So... Now What???

Well..... here we are! I feel it only fitting to tell you a little bit about what we are up to these days.

Jeff is working as a mortgage and loans broker for A+ Financial.. and loving it. Sometimes I wish I had a crowbar so that I could dislodge the cell phone from his ear:)) All kidding aside, its nice to see him doing something that makes him happy.

Haryn is now 18 years old. He is working hard.. and playing hard, which is as it should be! He values his independence, and it seems to be important to him to make his own way in the world. For the last several years, he has held down a job as a cook at Boston Pizza, while managing to maintain an A average in his studies. He plans on going into Medicine, and is hoping to get into McGill. Aside from him studies and his work, music plays a huge part in his life. He continues to take Piano lessons, and he has learned to play guitar. He has a band, which i have yet to hear..... but I do hear him playing his heavy metal tunes in the basement:) He has very ecclectic tastes where his music is concerned. I can also often hear him playing one of his classical pieces on the piano.

Sadie is 15. She is the old soul of the family. Wise beyond her years..... always has been. She has always been able to pinpoint the source of her feelings, and she has been able to verbalize how she feels more adeptly than some adults we know. An amazing trait for someone so young. She is also extrememly talented. She can imitate just about anyone or anything! She does a mean 'Fat Bastard', and she keeps us laughing with her imitations. Aside from being extremely animated, Sadie has the voice of an angel. She is currently singing with Chai, and hopes to be accepted into the professional group. Like her brother, Sadie is also a wonderful student. She excels in the language arts, and also brings home top marks. Sadie swims, takes piano, and she also volunteers once a week at the Sharon Home, where she gets involved with the seniors activities.
