Thoughts and ideas to chew on. Sunday, July 06, 2008. Recently Kathy and I visited our daughter Sarah at her new home in Minnesota. It was good to be with her after many weeks of being apart.

Thoughts and ideas to chew on. Saturday, April 30, 2011. Do you know your farmer? Beyond good food, we local farmers offer other services.

Thoughts and ideas to chew on. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. When I read the Christian Bible, I am often struck by a turn of phrase that stirs an image that rings true in my experience.
