Rachel,
Well, this is very nice. I like the way you are pulling all of your areas together into a site. You are a very impressive young woman and mother and I am very proud of you. I have learned alot from you and for that, I thank you! I appreciate the way you share what you have learned and are learning–the way you give yourself away. That is the way to be blessed. You will be like the virtuous woman of Proverbs, in that your children will rise up and call you blessed! They are indeed fortunate to have you for a mom and I am very fortunate to have your for my daughter. Love, Mom
Mom:
I am learning more all the time about the great gifts you gave to your children, in the ways we were allowed to grow up. We were very fortunate to have you as our Mother. Thank YOU for your gentle ways. And, Thank you for christening my new blog with such a loving “comment.” Love, Rachel
Rachel,
What a wonderful blog….thank you so much for the link! I sure miss seeing you at the co-op! I hope you and your family are doing well!
Lynn:
So likewise! I trust your family, co-op and your community are thriving. We are settling into Minneapolis. Our 2 weeks in Michigan last summer were not enough! But, now I really want to visit and see what you have been doing with your co-op. I hope people realize what a blessing you are giving them! Love ya!
