For those who are unaware, we moved to Pennsylvania in quite a rush. When we returned home from Canada I had a job interview for a Part Time Kindergarten Librarian. When I found out I got the job things moved so fast. We got renters in our home in Maryland and headed north to Amish country. I am still not certain if this is the place I want Peter going to school, but for the next three years of our lives it is certainly the place I am privileged to call home. We rent from a Mennonite family who have over 200 acres of corn, 3300 hogs, half a dozen cows, 2 dozen chickens, sheep, and one llama. The home is very modest, oil heat, propane hot water are something I have to get used too, not to mention the threat of mice. A girl from Philly has very little interest in sharing her home with field mice. It is a small price to pay for amazing sunsets, great walks to the creek, fresh eggs, and just everything else you can imagine that is wonderful. Mrs. Harnish made us home made peach pie, and the most amazing biscuits. She has taken my laundry in off the line when it began to rain, and returned it folded. Kahlua has spent hours in the creek. We even discovered a small pond with lights for ice skating in the winter. You are all more than welcome to visit, I can't promise though you will ever want to leave.
