I'm 54 and sometimes feel like I can hardly keep up with the work.<br />I have so enjoyed reading your blog. We have 5 children in the same age range as yours. Although our family attends a non-denominational type church now, I grew up in a Mennonite home. My mom was raised in a Mennonite home while my dad was the youngest of 10in an Amish family. So we have some things in common.<br />Keep the posts coming! Sure am enjoying them.GaylePnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-63060065014002276732011-10-20T05:43:23.860-07:002011-10-20T05:43:23.860-07:00I loved your birthday card buying story.

Just a hunch.) and I love your humourous details. My Dad's Dad's family (Rempels) had relatives in Paraguay in the day-- I remember them being "leprosy doctors"? Or it could have been Honduras. Somewhere so very extremely exotic that we were totally in awe. They came from Kansas. And were MCC. Probably wouldn't have made 'cheese' in their tea, but I'm not sure... hehe.Cynthiahttp://life-style-matters.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-35874233695727664872011-10-19T11:19:07.727-07:002011-10-19T11:19:07.727-07:00Love your MN stories!Love your MN stories!quiltaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449624308134950987noreply@blogger.com
