Susie, I am sorry about your Dad. I know how that is going through that with

my Mom too. I have two sisters younger than me. I am the oldest. It sounds

like you keep busy at farming and at your job. Keeping busy is what I do

here. I chase my little ones all day long. I am glad when they go to sleep at

night I get pretty tired. I used to plant herbs here. I don't have much room

but I do like gardening. I wish I had more room so I could have a vegetable

garden. My youngest sister has a new baby. He is so cute. I don't get to see

him very often because he lives in Ohio. My other sister has two kids she

lives near me. Our snow is melting here and it is still very cold. I don't

like Winter too much. What is the difference between Amish and Mennonite? I

am curious as to what they are I don't know much about them except my

ancestors were Mennonite and came from Indiana and Ohio. I will write again

soon. Take care ; ) Happy New Year ; ) Lori
