| Introduction | I had a profound personal encounter with Jesus 40+ years ago that has absolutely ruined me in the most beautiful way! I am 49 years a wife, and we have grown the most incredible family! Our brood has given us 15 gorgeous grandchildren! The homestead is a life long dream conceived as a young girl immersed in the Early American auto biographies I loved. I view it as in partnership with our Heavenly Father, who encouraged me to follow my heart, that my dreams had value to Him, that I had value to Him, I love hanging out with Him.... my little cabin with the stars out my window by night, and apple branch lullabies and soft breezes by day I feel safe and sense His great love for me. I love local food, have Pennsylvania German roots, love producing much of our own including cheese, butter, apple cider, vinegar, and probiotic soft drinks on occasion. I love old things, old ways, natural beauty...and I am the last person you want to drive behind after I've been antiquing:) . |
| Interests | I grew up traipsing behind my Scout leader father, learning to read the forest, but chattering way too much to see anything:) I am a craftsman by nature and temperament. I enjoy textile art, weaving, spinning, natural dyeing, basketry, knitting, rug braiding, and crocheting. too many things to do well, but I have fun. I love to cook, and spend a good deal of time doing that. I enjoy dairying, and am enjoying the learning curve. I am a retired homeschool mom of 7, who has lived through the experience:) |
| Favorite Movies | Watching movies is not something I do a lot... The Sound of Music, Iron Will, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Amazing Grace, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. |
| Favorite Music | The songs the Holy Spirit sings over me, especially when my heart is troubled. Worship music, and formal choral music. I have a soft spot for Judy Garland, Julie Andrews and Mitch Miller, as my childhood was filled with their music, Lawrence Welk...not so much:) |
| Favorite Books | The Bible/God's love letter, books that nurture my walk with the Lord, books that inspire and guide my creative pursuits, and books that give me a window into past generations their values, work ethic, solutions, especially in regards to living off the land |
