Shalom friends,
For the past 3 Saturdays, we have been enjoying a new family venture. Due to my physical limitations and my husband’s disabilities, it takes all of us working together to pull this off. It’s hard work, but it’s a wonderful, fun, exhausting challenge… to bake on a large scale to sell at the [...]

Shalom Y’all!

Shalom Y’all,
OK, so we’re outta milk and about everything else! LOL!
(BTW, I’m not telling you all this to gain sympathy, but rather to embarrassedly share our situation and how we deal with them, in the hopes that someone reading may benefit from what we do in these circumstances. It’s not easy to share our [...]

Shalom Y’all,

Well, we have an overabundance of bagels! LOLOL! Seriously, I will freeze some for later and for our baked goods bartering.
We have some leftover organic whole wheat pasta with butter, Parmesan and garlic.

Once upon a time, there was a nice Jewish gal who was 26 years old and single and who loved Yeshua (Jesus) with all of her heart. She loved living single, working at the local hospital and spending time with Jesus and His people. She really enjoyed her life, except for ONE thing, she thought [...]

Shalom,
Now that we are back in “civilization”, showered and relaxing, it’s time to finish telling the story and show you our pictures. The children have claimed that our little camping trip was very memorable and just plain FUN!
Here are some more pictures from Day 1:
