Hope you guys can live near each other sometime and you can have chickens. <BR/>I feel there is too much artificial stuff in my life as well. I can't wait till it's warm and food will seem like it's grown here (even if it's not). I need more of nature too. Like some good hikes in the mountains with friends...Sarah Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354454314458661062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888143962666832912.post-1329845563750122282009-04-06T08:30:00.000-07:002009-04-06T08:30:00.000-07:00I have tears in my eyes Em, you are so wonderful, ...I have tears in my eyes Em, you are so wonderful, and I just love you.

Am I really my true self with my family? How deeply am I known by them or my friends? Or do I put up walls of protection that do not allow others inside? Simplifying is one way to allow for those relationships to grow--quality time in productive, unifying pursuits. It is daunting to me, to say the least.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563626559082151387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888143962666832912.post-80683527209774571652009-04-05T22:06:00.000-07:002009-04-05T22:06:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888143962666832912.post-75775763968162144862009-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:00I love your mom too! when I grow up I hope to be ...I love your mom too! when I grow up I hope to be more like her!Fran N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02012844759616127901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888143962666832912.post-50685305060991295772009-04-04T20:00:00.000-07:002009-04-04T20:00:00.000-07:00i love you, em. thank you for your kind words. p...i love you, em. thank you for your kind words. ps with your photo shop, couldn't you have done something about all those neck rolls? lauzy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888143962666832912.post-55254601149850889332009-04-04T16:16:00.000-07:002009-04-04T16:16:00.000-07:00Beautiful post Em.
