Actually what is strange...this is how I found out about MJF and the Farmgirl Connection, tho I did not get a chance to watch the episode itself. On our PBS HD channel, they were showing the America's Heartland show.....I went online to see what other shows were in the series and saw this little blurb....that is how I got the info and came over here...and the rest they say was history :-)

Darn, Brenda! I just tried it out again to see if it worked, and it worked for me. Did you try a couple of times?

Good advice, Nancy Jo! It took me a while to "get" that we shouldn't save the "good" things for later -- even down to drinking out of one of my nice glasses *just because I want to,* not because it's a special meal or day... It really does make a difference in the quality of life we can lead - to just go ahead and live each moment to the fullest, which may mean anything from putting marshmallows in your hot chocolate (yum!) to reading the book right now !
XOXO, Libbie

Hi Nancy:
You are right about just reading it. I will read the magazines againa and again and I know the book will keep me busy for many nights over. I read THE APRON BOOK last week and know that I will keep going to it again. It's just so rare to find books and magazines that are relaxing and inspirational...I want them to last and last. Corny? That's ok! I will read the book this weekend when I have five long days off. Enjoy the holiday!!

Sheryl,
Should be another book out in the spring. Now start reading the one you have, life is short, don't put off the good things. Besides you can go back to the book over and over again, its not a one time read. I know I'am really looking forward to the new book, as lots of us are, getting myself a nice collection of MJ FARMGIRL STUFF.

I do not have a listening device for my computer since I took it all apart a few months ago to move it. Is there another way that I can see/hear the whole thing? I am finally reading my Aprons magazine. I kept putting it off because I know it will be a while before there is a new issue. I have her big book too, but refuse to read it until I have a lot of time. Also, there should be another book soon, right?
Aunt Jenny!! Imagine if we all just put the magazines in the spotlighted sections of all bookstores!! I go to Borders every week (I'm an English teacher), so maybe I should go to one that is not local so I can move them all to the right place in every store on Long Island! Have a good week!! XXOO Sheryl |

What a wonderful interview. I think they did a good job in capturing MaryJane's ideas.
Thanks for the link.

Bridget: I thought the same thing about the marijuana when I saw the magazine in the natural section near the magazines about pot. I was thinking this sure is a nice cover for a pot magazine! Then I took a look, all the while expecting to be disappointed that it was not about just plain ole farming and here I am today. Not disappointed even one time!! :) I actually moved all of the MJF magazines into the section I thought would be more appropriate at BORDERS. I put them in the highlighted section were they keep Martha Stewart and Oprah so that she would stand out like they do. Every time I see them in the wrong spot, I just move them again. They are all gone now, so my work is done! :) |

We watch a pbs station (quad-cities) that has America's Heartland every Sunday - it is really a good program, but its only a 30 minute program. They asked me to take the survey, which I did, and the only thing I commented negatively on was their being funded or put on by Monsanto. I guess there's some bad in the best of us, and some good in the worst of us. |

Nice! I try to tell anyone and everyone about mary jane butters! Love it...I actually came across the magazine by a fluke. I was looking for natural stuff and it was in with the marijuana (i was not looking for that stuff) and i saw mary jane and was like psh never mind and passed it up then I looked again and saw farms and was like hmmmmmmmmm and fell in love with it! :) Love seeing info on her and the farm anywhere yay for the article:)

I sure wish I could have seen the entire "Heartland" series - I was so excited to hear a farmers defending "real" food and "real" farms. It IS interesting that the sponsor was Monstanto, and it WAS a marvelous way for them to spend their money! I have found on my farm that in order to eventually have an organic farm and lifestyle (as much as is possible for me), I may need to do some things in a roundabout way. For example, a few years ago I "nuked" the farm with RoundUp so I wouldn't have to spend years tilling/ploughing and picking. It was a tough decision, but I figured that the petroleum products and machinery that I would use if I did not use the herbicide were at least as harmful to the planet in the "big picture." That way I could begin organic methods of farming successfully much sooner. SOOoooooo - what I am trying to say here is that if it takes Monsanto's money to get MaryJane's message across, maybe that's okay.
And hey - it made me want a bright red apron, too !!!
XOXO, Libbie
