Matthews Family Herald

We made it safe and sound, thanks to the Lord.

So far for us, we done the following with my family and our friends: chopped and stacked firewood, helped finished a woodshed roof, helped put up windows in a green house, fed chickens and ducks, used an outhouse, surveyed land and narrowed down a good building site, done some yard work, had some new teas and foods, enjoyed some new board games, and we finally have cell phone numbers and library accounts. It's been a busy first week. But it's great. Way off in the boonies and we love it. We've seen lots of Mennonite families inside of Walmart and elsewhere. Coming up though, Thursday there is a big animal swap and flea market we plan to go to. Saturday is a trip to Home Depot to get a better idea of supply costs for building our home, and then I'll probably go to pick up the Yaris around that time.

That's the news from us.  You all take care,

James and family
