It has probably been 20 years since I’ve seen you, and not even sure you remember me. Many years ago in IVCF at NU.

Somehow found this blog of yours. Beautiful writing, as it was in college. Beautiful things you are doing with the land, your lives and your new vocation.

Peace and long life,
Karen Weed Vacaliuc

Of course I remember you! How are your kids? I read that book this fall – very funny, very close to home. You know, the library bought the book because I asked them to! I LOVE Blanchardville!

Hi Kriss,

Not sure if you remember me. I think it was in 2008 or 2009 when I came and helped out at the farm a few times in exchange for a share. Anyhoo…I just got done reading a book that I think you should check out. It’s called “The Dirty Life” by Kristin Kimball and I checked it out from the Blanchardville library. I think you’d really like it. The author reminds me a lot of you and how your farm came to be. I thought of you alot when reading her story.

Hope your farm continue to be a success!

Kriss, Are you getting my emails? I am worried about you since I haven’t heard from you. Hope you are ok. Peg

I wonder what live stock you have for sale now. I would like to stop by your farm and purchase chickens (up to 20 of them) and ducks.

WAY too long since I’ve seen any of the Marions!! Although now and then I get a glimpse of Shannon up at Cedar, and an occasional phone chat, I miss you all. The precious times of prayer with you back when we were starting our families are highlights of my life, and though we haven’t connected recently, you remain dear to my heart.

I’m so happy to see all of the beautiful things you are doing in the country. Your creativity astounds me and makes me very happy. I think what makes it bring tears to my eyes is the way it shows God’s goodness, which is so vast and varied. Your energy and productivity is exciting and inspiring. I’m looking forward to devouring your blog today.

Kriss, Do you remember me from Lincoln Square and the Reba place coop? I want to come to your happening on the 5th. I used to have a farm in Argyle but had to sell 2 years ago. Still living in Chicago and playing my fiddle. Ran into rita Ruby and she mentioned you and Shannon. Small world. So I may see you on the 5th if that is ok. I will bring my tent and try out Yellowstone Lake. I was so glad to read your story it does sound like the Lord is working in all of our lives to bring goodness, and health.

So this is the first time I have read this story- I love it! Yesterday my husband and I went on a drive to Madison. Of course driving through the country side…I was inspired and thinking of all of you.

Hope you are doing well – I did send Shannon a message for you both on fb.
