Updated Aug 20, 2013

I love my trucker: my husband, Ellis Houk. He is my best friend and husband of 35 years. He has trucked a lot of years for various trucking firms and now is my trucker for my business, Country Peddler of Corning, Iowa. He keeps my business going by keeping our rig on the road. He always seem to be my lifesaver for the financial end of the business. Without him, I would not be where I am today, a successful business woman. Keep on truckin’, honey!!
