Zan, I love reading your magazine. I especially enjoyed those money saving tips, the
Frannie interview, and the article your mom wrote about May Day. All good stuff there!

What a great article about Miss Frannie, Zan...she is a true treasure, I believe. So eloquent and her descriptions of the bunnies lives and loves and desires, well, she's just truly a kindred spirit. Thanks for giving us a little "more" of her!

I enjoyed reading your blog and article about Frannie. I especially like your article about advice on the recession and saving money, etc. Well written, and makes a lot of sense! Thanks!

what i did was go to the town newspaper and looked in the classified want ads.
they were listed there . but no info about how to apply , no contact info at all. then i went to the site. there is no mention there of needing help.
they are looking for someone who like to work with plants, and would like to work in the butterfly house. i have been there years ago with my mom.
if i were you i would email from the site, or call and inquire if they are still accepting resumes.
okay, now i am sounding like a mom......sorry.
love

Zan, I read this post and so I went to the link to read the new issue! I do have to say that I absolutely love your hair in those pics--I'm a touch envious, lol.  My hair would never even begin to look that cute and artsy!!!

lovely! lovely! so far .. i've sat still long enough (t'ween running between the garden and dolly-makin'!) and read that sweet, adorable, darlin' Texas Frannie's article! (i love that we share our name and kindred souls!) ... i do see a BOOK in her bunny 'tales'!!! i can hardly wait until she has time to make one to come live at Freedom Valley Farm! there are many 'midnight visitors' with soft, fluffy tails that would love to have a new friend!
zan .. i also read your 'about us' page .. you are a cutie pie! your hair reminds me of mine before i chopped it off! absolutely nuthin' wrong with big city hair .. i love it!!! and WHERE in Hungary was your mom born? our darling daughter, Wednesday married into a large and wonderful Hungarian family. I love their traditions and family values. We are so blessed to have them as part of our family now!
i hear dollies calling my name .. but i'll get to more of 'big farmer' soon!
xo, kentucky frannie

Awww....shucks guys! You ladies know how to make a girl's day! Well, I love the hair but it's getting too funk-dified. My poor mother gets a heart attack, I don't think she thought her "little girl" would end up dread-headed!
Anyhow...well, I am thinking of taking the magazine "live" but it's very expensive to print them here in NYC. I am looking at online printer alternatives. But, I don't know who would be interested in subscribing to this type of thing, even if it was quarterly or bi-monthly. Feel free to post here or email me if you'd like to subscribe. Maybe $6.oo an issue...or, umm, less if I can find advertising? Please let me know...sort of an informal poll.
I am so humbled at the responses. You all really make it rewarding for me :)
Ms. Frannie...I sent some responses out for your job suggestions..lets see what goes on :) Thank you again!

heheheyes, but it has never helped.

zan .. my hair was so long (and wavy) that when i bleached it .. i would get 'dread locks' (or rat's nests as my nannie usta' say!) couldn't even get my fingers through it unless i put a gallon on 'conditioner' on it and combed and combed it!
i cut it about a year ago .. i loved the 'gypsy' look .. but i was starting to look like a 'demented' gypsy! sometimes i like it .. sometimes i don't. it's HO YALLER right now .. and needs a little more red or darker streaks in it .. one cuz the ROOTS are DARK and are coming in gang-busters .. and two .. it makes me look a little washed out!
i'm starting to let it grow again .. but will probably (not at my age!) let it get down the middle of my back again.
somehow .. all this 'bleach' has pulled some of my natural 'wave' out of it and is more 'flat' than i like most times.
i used to actually get it 'permed' .. then i reeeeeeeeeeely liked my 'curls'!
hey .. i was creating little Sophie Elizabeth (who will be coming to live with you .. cuz' you were the first momma at the orphanage door!) when reading your magazine.
we jus' got home from dinner (chinese) and the movie (leatherheads .. cute .. but not an academy award winner!) .. then we hit the grocery store .. soooo NOW .. i gotta' go put away groceries. will get back to the other articles late tonight or tomorrow morning. you are doing a great job with it!
