I toured Harmony a few years back and was blessed to meet a few of them, who then welcomed my mom and I into their home. Very rare occasion, but one I will never forget.

I never had the pleasure of actually meeting them How nice for you and your kids to be guests at their home!

It looks like the buggy ride was something your kids will remember for a very long time! I know I would.<br />That is so funny about the clothesline. My mom used to hang our clothes out on the clothesline even in the freezing cold. I remember our bath towels hanging stiff as a board. Every little terry cloth loop was stiff and prickly! Even when you brought them in, dried them out and warmed them up, the loops were as rough as a porcupine! Imagine drying yourself off with with one of those babies:( There's something to be said for a warm, fluffy towel!<br />My mom and dad were green before it was "cool" to be green. They grew up in the depression and didn't have a lot. I'm glad they taught me the values they did. It makes me appreciate what you do have...like a warm fluffy towel from the dryer:). We don't "need" all the things we think we do. It is sad to see the generation of kids today as a whole not really understand the concept of less is more and that a little hard work won't kill them. I hope I can instill that in my daughter...we'll see.<br />Enough of my soapbox!!<br /><br />As far as finding a picture, as long as it is a good face shot with little to no distracting background, I re-size the picture and change it to black and white, so no worries! We would be honored to make you a necklace!!<br />Again. I'm so glad you're back. I look forward to hearing more of your stories and seeing more great pictures of your precious kids.<br />Just keep the sharpies high, up and away...out of reach:)<br /><br />Just think, we met over tea, Wild Sweet Orange, that is. We'll have to chat over tea again soon. I just finished my cup...seriously I did.<br />Have a wonderful day!<br />XoXo<br />GailObee Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418491356551800036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789986578318366355.post-81961977041443246302010-01-05T23:12:50.765-06:002010-01-05T23:12:50.765-06:00Reminds me of the Amish in Pennsylvania where we l...Reminds me of the Amish in Pennsylvania where we lived for 16 years.
