says:
I am the mother of four grown children and the grandmother
of six. My husband and I farm with my son , I help with the harvest, but in the winter I
enjoy teaching approximately 40 children playschool in two small towns.
My hobbies are reading ,quilting , gardening, and growing lots of flowers. I enjoy making
baskets for church each Sunday as well as for special occasions such as birthdays,
anniversaries etc. I gather a lot of craft ideas, games, poems, and activities to use in
my playschool so I enjoy the Pitter Patter craft web
site. I have found this recipe for Gingerbread cookies very
good for young children to work with.
Thanks for all your interest in it and all the thank- yous I've received.
