And then it is back home again!
Came home to our first new little black Angus calf for the spring!
Then Loren and Craig bringing in the corn fodder round bales from the field. Spring is here and I started to clean up the yard with Craig's help. We wanted to make it to the canner in Ephrata this week, but didn't get there. Hoping to get to Myerstown next week one day. And then to Sterling, Ohio, and Penn Yan, N.Y. It is hard to believe that another year is just about over for the canner again. God is Good!

Then on to Elmira, Ontario for their MCC Meat Canner Fund Raising Breakfast. We had the privilege of sharing our journey on the meat canner and also Loren's trip to Bosnia/Serbia.

The breakfast was delicious, pancakes (with fresh maple syrup), sausage, ham, eggs, fried potatoes, muffins, fresh fruit.... and served over 370 people! What great organization these people have! A superb time there also. Thank you!

A wonderful and exciting two days in Leamington, Ontario, Canada. Meeting our friends again, and they were so kind to have an open house at a church where many people stopped by to see the MCC Mobile Meat Canner Quilt and also my books, and had delicious food there from 2-9 p.m. thanks so much for all the work and time that went into making that day a success. We really appreciated it. Also Uncle Jack took us to the local Retirement Community to display our quilt and had lunch there. Thanks!
