Hi, I'm new and I'm from California! I live in California with my husband and my youngest kids.
We have 6 kids and 5 grandkids.
Our 3 younger kids are older kids but they are all full time students at our community college.
I've been a farm girl all my life as I was raised in the country. I lived in town for seven years around the time I was going to school, but made my way back out to the country.
We raised all our kids out here along with all sorts of critters on our small farm.
We've been an active 4-H family for close to 30 years and all 6 of our kids have had a 4-H career.
I cook from scratch, bake all the bread we eat. I taught myself how to can food and put up pickles and jams. Some years we have had a tremendous food garden, although we don't have one at this present time.
We are going to move closer into town and the drive back and forth is crazy.
I babysit my youngest grandson. And I'm committed to taking 1 class per semester for the rest of my life. At the local college.
As soon as I can figure it out I hope I can post my etsy link and blog link. Maybe I better read the fine print to make sure it's OK.
I'm proud to be a part of this community. Oh, and for sure one of my daughters, she's 22, wants to know more about MaryJane's Farm and would like to know if there are any groups in our area.
I'm looking forward to all of you!
~Violet~ |

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just need to familiarize myself with the way this forum is set.
I'm going to attempt to get my siggy together like I see some of you have.
I'm looking forward to chatting with you all and peeking at your blogs and etsy.

Testing, testing, to see if I did this correctly!
Also, can somebody tell me if there is a way to reply to certain posts? Like in this thread, or is it all sorta general!
Thanks.

Violet, you are my literal neighbor, I live in Visalia! I am learning to cook from scratch, trying to fix healthier not-from-boxes food for my family. Email me sometime! I am looking forward to reading through your blog and etsy site

Hi Violet. Welcome from Ga. I was born in Calif. in Trona. I don't know if you know where that is. We also lived in Placerville. I looked at you blog, which is so pretty, and it reminded me so much of when I was a kid. We used to camp all over also. We had a VW camper and we would take off and see a creek or river and camp beside it. It was so fun. We also would camp in the desert. What greta memories. I love your son's glass work. Really nice.

Kristin, I do know where Trona is! We went through Trona on our way to Death Valley. What I most remember about Trona were all the 4 wheel drive dealerships! They were everywhere!
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. Please come back anytime.
I'm looking forward to knowing you and the other girls that I've met here so far.
Hugs, ~V~

Hi delicia! I just learned how to "quote" with your post. I've been looking for a way to quote and then the icons above your post just popped out at me!
Thank you so much!
