Thankfully, my 14 year old son still likes doing the crafty-type activities that go so well with this time period; my 12 year old daughter is loving it. Incidentally, she just started reading the Little House series! I'm planning to check out a couple of the books you recommended (Johnny Appleseed & A Pioneer Sampler) -- such fabulous prices over at CBD! <br /><br />I'm glad to read that you and your dh enjoyed your day even though you were "without the company of offspring." :) How precious for your children to see that you truly loved all the things you did with them by continuing to do them now. What a sweet testimony it is to them (and your grandchildren!). <br /><br />By the way, I enjoyed listening to your Mother Culture cd and have actually listened to it a couple times. Tears and laughter! Thank you for speaking such encouragement from your heart. I plan to order a second copy soon so I can share with my friends (without risking losing my own copy!). <br /><br />Many blessings to you and yours,<br /><br />Lisa :)<br /><br />Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760735212107263086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-45559322621170776612012-10-17T22:39:26.211-04:002012-10-17T22:39:26.211-04:00This post was a fun read.

It had been on my wish list for a long time. But sadly I hadn't gotten to read it yet. I think I will get it any ways and then lay it around for the boys ( who might think they are too old) to read and then have it around when I am a grandmama. <br /><br />Ohh btw I am still going to send that package. Life has been full and need to block out some time to pull it together.<br /><br />Blessings my friend<br />In Him<><<br />-MaryCanadagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352430241745686391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-63267117779919956952012-10-15T22:49:11.923-04:002012-10-15T22:49:11.923-04:00Can you believe that we live so close to Hans Herr...Can you believe that we live so close to Hans Herr house, but we have never been there?

But I find myself doing some of those things now... :) I don't make cider, but I do get the puny apples and make sauce...a friend is teaching me how to weave on a loom and I already sew by hand... butchering and such was done when I lived in South America, so in a way, pioneering never seems to truly leave us. Good thing!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing Karen and for stopping by the cottage...<br /><br />MariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-14679608552888705052012-10-13T13:45:56.186-04:002012-10-13T13:45:56.186-04:00You have made my heart sing today!

I am drawn to the descriptions of hearth and home combined with hard work and planning ahead. Planning ahead is not my best quality, so I am always looking for books and stories that encourage me in that area. <br /><br />My two nieces enjoy Ox-Cart Man each fall season. I look forward to showing them the Conestoga wagon here on your blog. I'll have to call my children and tell them to take a look as well. Who knew they really were/are blue?!<br /><br />Sometimes I imagine paring our household down to fit in one of those wagons. It's an interesting exercise that I hope to never have to make a reality. <br /><br />I've always wanted to take one of those "vacations" where you travel across the prarie in a covered wagon. My family drew the line with a resounding, "NO!" I suppose they are right. The romance of it all draws me in. The reality would surely have been harsh in many ways. I still draw inspiration from those men and women.<br /><br />Susan <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-27537653654716844582012-10-13T13:45:31.582-04:002012-10-13T13:45:31.582-04:00I so enjoyed this post...sounds like a wonderful p...I so enjoyed this post...sounds like a wonderful place to visit...thanks for sharing the books.I think I would enjoy those myself :) BlessingsSimply Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933046149294440134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-23508313935973695992012-10-13T12:53:25.139-04:002012-10-13T12:53:25.139-04:00Karen, lovely post!
