  11. Congratulations, Joan! Isn't it wonderful?! It took me two tries, but I found my "love for life" 13 years ago.

    I haven't been to the Tetons since skiing there as a teenager. We need to get back there!

    Cheers and continued blessings,
    Barbara

  21. I could stare at that image all day......Just to share with you folks, i have a new post today on Amish Stories from the Terre Hill days even that was just held in Lancaster Pennsylvania. It was a very hot day but i was able to get i think a few good images from this event. The town is populated with a mix of Amish and old order Mennonites which only adds to its charm. They even have what has become famous in Terre Hill their "outhouse race". The town sits on a hill so it overlooks Lancaster farmland in almost all directions. This is one of my favorite towns to visit because its free from commercialism, so if you are looking for a really all American kind of town with the added bonus of seeing its Amish and Mennonite residents at work and play, then this town is for you. Thanks folks. Richard from Amish Stories.

  41. Hi Joan and Dan,
    Happy 23rd Anniversary!!
    Love hearing of couples who have been married for a long time, and are still very happy, cause that is one of our passions....
    working with married couples and helping them achieve a great marriage. It is particularly wonderful to me too, as I came from a family riddled by divorce!! We will be married 41 years this November.

    May your celebration be a Sweet One........
    Blessings for another 23+ years,
    Nellie

  48. Hi! I hope you two had a wonderful anniversary. All of the post with the two of you in it makes you two seem like the cutest couple ever. :-)

    I can't seem to find a good place to make my post request, so I guess I'll post it here.

    I LOVE decorating my home, however, I have a small home and a toddler, so I can never seem to make it look like the magical decorator's homes like yours.

    I have no idea how to make tons of toys, wires, and other necessary household items disappear like they are in your home! Can you PLEASE post about how to hide these things to make it look magazine-perfect? And what would you do if you had a tiny kitchen with little storage, one drawer, and too much stuff? How would you display collections like fenton glassware without risking them getting broken? Ect, ect...

    Thank you! Jenn frm http://jennhearn.wordpress.com/
