Rae, your letter went out yesterday! It's a goodly sized one, LOL. 
Still wouldn't mind another pen pal if anyone is interested. BTW, something I forgot to mention when I posted originally is that we recently bought a 20-year old doublewide manufactured home. We and are working on it and putting in gardens. I've never owned one before so it's a learning experience, LOL.

My letters will be going out soon! I've hit a bit of a "rough" spot and haven't been able to get right back to everyone quite yet although you're all on my mind!!! Just didn't want anyone to think I had forgotten about them!!!!

Hi my name is Jessica and I would love to write to someone or even recieve a letter! I am a 33 single mother of a wonderful 5 yr old little girl. I work fulltime for an electric utility and live on my parents farm. We have 4 horse 2 rabbits, 1 dog and 15+ barn cats and that doesn't count the 8 kittens I found this week! wow. I love living in the country we have about 38 acres in south central pennsylvania right near the mason-dixon line, and raise lots of hay. I love gardening and am trying keep everything as organic as possible, I also have a small orchard and started a little blueberry patch this year. I am going to try canning this summer and hope to get one of the outbuildings fixed up for chickens by next spring. I make pottery and candles, and would love to learn the art of soapmaking next. I am relatively new to this forum thing but it is a great way to keep in touch! hope to hear from some of you! Jessica
each day is a new oportunity to create,improve, expand, and share. |

| There is a book called Prairie Girl's Guide to Life that explains soapmaking in detail along with some other fun activities! It's written by my friend Jennifer Worick. Also, email me your address and I'll write to you! |

| Isn't it fantastic? I am addicted to that catalog! And all things 19th century really. Everything from them is really good quality too, unlike some catalogs. You guys can call me Shari. Sharikrsna is just my screen name. |

Love Victorian Trading Company, even though I don't (can't) get their catalogs in my mail, duh. Guess they don't send them to the Netherlands., I have tried to get them but they don't. BUT I sometimes get their catalog through email, love to have them in my hand though so I could read them while relaxing lol. Love their romantic items :)
