Remember the old woman who lived in a shoe? I'm a lot like her, with a husband and varying numbers of children in our 100-year-old farmhouse. This blog is about our lives.
I just found out, thanks to my mother's detective work, that I know your sister-in-law, Barb. We attended MBS back in 1985 and 1986! When she was here in Indiana last spring (?) for a family wedding, we got to catch up over coffee, which was a treat. My husband's family lived in Oregon for a few years and is familiar with the area that you-all are in. (They used to be neighbors to John and Marilyn Yoder, if you know them, who are actually my relatives.) How's that for the traditional Mennonite game? :)
I do some writing as well, having a column for the Goshen News, our local paper. This is a new venture for me and it's through that, actually, that someone sent me a link to your blog. It's always nice to see family-friendly content, whether in books, in the paper, or on the web.
