Good morning 
Last year I sold a sewing machine to a woman named Mary, and we've stayed in touch ever since. She lives about an hr from me. During our visit yesterday I explained to her about Mary Jane and showed her my collection of Mary Jane's books. She was very interested. I told her about the farmgirl connection too. Mary does embroidery and bead work. I don't know really anyone that shares my interests such as canning, sewing, soap making, gardening, prepping, etc. In fact I literally get strange comments from people sometimes like I'm the weird one- (deep inside I pity them because they don't get it). So it's exciting when I can share my interests and especially tell others about Mary Jane and all the amazing farmgirls here!
Hoping Mary will introduce herself soon 
Farmgirls Rock!

Connie, I'll be looking for her around the Farm. I know what you mean about not being able to share with other women our love for all things FarmGirl. We can talk and share here among ourselves, and that's a very good thing.

Wonderful story. Thank you for taking the time to share it. When I started all this I was pretty sure farmgirl was a language that was going extinct and I'd enjoy helping bring it back to life. I think of myself as conduit for all the electrifying things you describe in your post:) This morning I checked on my new baby chicks at 5 a.m. and felt complete. And this post makes me feel even more so. Thank you. And a hello to "Mary."

Fortunately, for me, most of my friends around here do "get it". I was born and raised here on a farm. (Haven't always lived here . . .went to college, met my hubby and lived in a city for a few years, but came back)
It is a rural farming/ranching community and it's nice to know most folks know and understand! Some of my favorite stores are the farm stores!
