Hi everyone. I have been enjoying this forum for a couple months, and it just occured to me to introduce myself. I live in Minnesota, am married and have a 3-year-old daughter. I just wanted to let you all know how much I enjoy this forum- I look forward to it every day! Merry

Hi Merry, I don't post often but I do lurk at least once a day. I'm married too and have a son 29 (actually it's his birthday today) and a daughter 22. What part of MN are you in, I'm in North Central Iowa.

Enjoy!

Hi Merry. You will enjoy the many neat folks on this site. Maybe I should tell you a little about myself. (GULP) I'm a single lady. I had three children. Work as a secretary. Five months ago the Lord made it possible for me to buy a home of my own (after many years of renting). It's a fixer-upper. Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with the work; sometimes I see a little light at the end of the tunnel. I enjoy reading about the experiences many of the 'regulars' share. This business of being a home owner got off to a rough start. Not long after moving in I injured my leg and am still healing. All the painting and wallpapering that should have been done by now aren't! Ah well, did someone say it's all about the journey? "Forgetting those things that lie behind, I press on..." Stef.

p.s. Does anyone else think that "Basil" is just perfect for a name for the cover piggy on current issue of countryside? If ever I have a pig, Basil it will be. Stef.

Anybody close to Duluth? I go with hubby to Duluth/Superior often. Would be nice to meet up with someone in the area.

Oh, please pardon my manners! Nice to meet you Merry. This is a nice forum isn't it.

Merry, welcome to CF, a most enjoyable place. I pop in now and again, mostly to afflict these homesteaders with a couple of rhymes. A would-be and former "homesteader" here, long way from Minn.
