Amish Family come to our Open House

July 21, 2010

Can't photograph the Amish, so this is what you get

Today, while the Soles4Souls staff hosted an open house at the new Soles4Souls world headquarters in Nashville, Allan and I held our own open house in Wisconsin. We may not have had as big a crowd, but our RV open house attracted a most unusual crowd…an entire Amish family with seven kids. We stopped at an Amish farm to get some corn and a watermelon and began talking with the young girls in charge of the produce stand. Naturally they had questions about the RV, so we invited them all inside. Oh, how I wish I had a picture of their faces as they watched the RV expand when we slide the slideouts out! Even their dad was astounded as he saw the sink and furniture inside. The family left with Soles4Souls keychains and something new to talk about. Now that’s an open house!

True Love Means Sharing Your Candy

July 21, 2010

Next month Allan and I will have been married 33 years. And yes, the love is still there. Yesterday he wrote me a love note that conveys our relationship:
I love you near,
I love you afar,
If you decide not to eat it,
Can I have your 3 Muskateers bar?
