Been getting the magazine for the last 14 years and wanted to get from the beginning cause I love reading and reread the articles and recipes have made some of them.
I enjoy history, even recent history, which is what I find in the Anthology, the first years. Also I am an admirer of those who seek a life in the country and country ways. I have farmed and love farm life; that was my goal but the Lord God called me into the ministry of the Word of God and served 42 years as a pastor.
Its very useful information. The kind of stuff that’s gotten lost and not passed down to the next generation. Whether I can put it to practice or not remains to be seen.
I really enjoyed reading this. It was full of amazing information and helpful. I’ve learned so much! I think the old kid corner ideas was a really nice touch to the older magazine.
