Debbie Grayson Lincoln settles into country life like you in your best ftting jeans. Living in the country means much more than going to bed at night in a brick ranch house for Debbie and Mike Lincoln. It means being a part of a community that they love so much. They built the house with a vaulted ceiling and indirect lighting along with a bedroom that has no windows.

“We lived in the city for awhile and I hated the noise outside, especially at night, so when you lie down in this room, there is just wonderful quiet. I grant you this is not the room for someone with phobias but for us, it is great. It’s like you are just locked away from everything for complete rest.”

After the Lincoln’s son and daughter grew up and moved away from home, Debbie expanded her studio with an addition along the back of the house with a separate entrance. Several recent pieces of her art are on display there. Many others that are not for sale decorate the walls throughout the rambling ranch style house. The native stone used to foor the sweeping porch across the front and side of the custom-built brick home spells “country-western” for family and friends.
