I’ve had a lot of experience with my husband job transfers!
Heard this recently on Bonanza. “You won’t win any awards but you don’the brake mirrors either.” Took my husband & I aback but we also chuckled.
Will it matter a year from now! Or 10 years from now!
It is what I use to get over people or things that have made me upset.
Truly love your magazine!’

“Not all those who wander are lost.” This quote by J.R.R. Tolkien is among the many quotes I love. I am also a big fan of C.S. Lewis, C.K. Chesterton and Lewis Carol to name a few. But my favorite of all quotes came from my husband of 36 years and he says it to me every day… “I LOVE YOU!” What could be better?

My fav. comment is so true. If life gives you lemons ~ MAKE LEMONADE ! believe me, I have made many gallons of Lemonade.
I have received Mary Jane Farm Mag. for several yrs. now and when the budget
is tight, I let the other magazines expire; however, I need your M J Farm Mag. to
keep up on all the things you publish, sewing aprons, vintage hats, great recipes
and much more that keep me connected with memories of my Homestead, and the
farm where I was raised. Keep them coming please.
Thank you !

I am still determined to be cheerful and
To be happy in whatever situation I may be, for I have also learnt from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions and not upon our circumstances.
