Are you an MK?
ReplyDeleteI most definitely am!
DeleteJust found you through Land of Nod and love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes "MK" mean missionary kid?
ReplyDeleteJust discovered you through your salt dough ornament video on YouTube. Beautiful. Thanks!
Followed a pin to your blog (I am making your geo heart for valentine's day -- can't believe you live in Bakersfield! That is where I grew up :) I know exactly where you live! (well, not exactly, but I know those streets well :) Hooray for cool people from Bakersfield! You need to be friends with my mom! She works at Williams Sonoma in the Marketplace. If you are ever there and meet Pam, tell her that her daughter Tiffany sent you! She is an avid gardener and canner -- best jam you EVER had. She might even let you come pick apricots or blackberries in her backyard if you are extra nice :) Email me if you need a canning friend tiffanyrueckert@gmail.com Too bad I live in Maryland now! I do visit about once a year though... If you have time you should email me. How long have you lived in Bakersfield? I might be able to give you some tips about places you might like to go -- you probably know them all though... mabye not!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you. I was just in WS yesterday. I look for your mom next time. We moved to Bako 12 years ago. My husband teaches at BHS, so we live in the neighborhood. It's a black hole. We've moved overseas twice and ended back here. But, we love our church and our little house (we can walk to Dewar's). I've been wanting to start a canning club of some sort, I'lll let your mom know if I do. Talk to you soon.
DeleteI know Pam at WS. Small world!
DeleteHa, that's funny. Bako is the smallest town ever!!!!
DeleteWhat part of PNG did you grow up in/how did you end up there? I lived in Goroka and Vanimo for 13 years when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteI lived in Lae from 85 to 95! Meri Morobe :)
DeleteI love Lae! Did you ever get to Madang?
DeleteWe went to Madang all the time. My dad was in charge of the churches in Morobe and Mandag Province. I know the Madang highway very well. Jais Aben is one of my most favorite places on earth!
DeleteOh and my hubby and I lived in Lae in 2000 and 2001. We were teachers there and my daughter was born there.
Deleteahh Jais Aben is fantastic! I miss the coast so much
