Family Circle Letter

     Hi all! Today I thought I would share some about our family life. Growing up in the Mennonite culture, families would send "circle letters". Circle letters were letters that were sent to pre-established families, in a pre-established order. Each family would add their letter to the batch and then send it on to the next family. This would be ours.
    So hello to all and peace unto you! Our family is enjoying some much needed rest and change of pace. Helping out at a few neighbors this week was fun. The children have missed their friends and are glad to be learning a few different skills.
     Kaleb is trying out welding. He designed and built a smoker for our sausage, bacon, and ham. We raised 4 piglets this summer on the creamery whey, grain, and, pasture. This is our first time smoking anything!
