“The hay is making me sneeze!”
“Hush Hanna! The driver will hear you.”
“Aaaachoooo! Mica the hay is driving me crazy! It itches too!”
“Would you rather have walked to town?”
“When Papa finds out we’ve run away to get married, he is going to be so angry.”
“Once we are man and wife, Hanna it won’t make any difference.”
“You are right, I will stop complaining.”
“We are almost there Hanna. Once the tractor slows be careful jumping down. Soon we will be man and wife.”
Once down, they heard a voice………
“Well daughter, what have you to say for yourself?”
Life, Love & Strength

Sure is! Isn’t it good! I have a little note on the side bar that mentions he did it. Isn’t he doing one for you too?

It’s so cool! Did you give him guidance? He’s doing one for me, yes! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.

Yes I gave him some idea of what I wanted in it, he did the rest. I love the details he puts in, like the coffee cup and pencil holder. Those were his ideas there.

Congratulations on the new blog–great look. As far as Papa goes, he is a determined man. And he might be right–Mica sounds awfully anxious to get married–is he after Hanna or her dowry?
