Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Dear Friends!

How time flies when you’re having fun! We had a pretty crazy year with                                                                                                                                                                       extreme weather conditions, oodles of pickles, two new grand-babies, and busy with all of it.  Steve still keeps busy with building. I help out a family of six with baby-sitting and house-keeping.  Our garden did pretty well after it survived a flooding spring.  The Sall Farm pickle kitchen was steaming hot and pickles were coming out our ears!!  A banner sweet corn crop…Steve hauled corn to Custer, SD and the local market and to Woonsocket. It’s always a successful year if the garden can produce enough for three counties!! Ha! 

We were happy to have all the kids here a couple times this summer. Eric and Rachel and little Wyatt are a little more accessible in Kansas City again, so we get to see them more again.  Beniah, Emily, Domino and little Zelda are happily residing in Kansas City and stay busy with jobs and all things family!! We are anxious for the whole gang to be together in K.C. for Christmas.  Three little ones walking and crawling will be a lot of fun!! 

That was the letter we sent to friends

 and family spread across the U.S.!

The typical Christmas letter that keeps us

 in touch and sends the message 

of peace and goodwill and Merry Christmas to all!

This is a special message to all of my new found blogging friends....

I can't tell you how I've enjoyed making new connections across state and continent lines!!

Blogging has changed my world for the better,

and I just want to let each and every follower and visitor know

how much I appreciate you!!! 

The  pickle farmers in South Dakota

want to wish you, each and all a Very Merry Christmas!!

We will be here all winter long

dreaming of another pickle season...

Trying to stay warm and sane,
until the last snow melt....

And yes, I will be blogging about it all...

My heartfelt gratitude for your kind words
and inspiration....
my cup runneth over!!

May we continue this friendship...
laugh, and learn and grow together!

And all find each day is just one after the other
but, just a little more interesting in the form of a "Blog"!!!

May Your Every Day be as

 Special as Christmas and 

Your Heart Be Over-Whelmed

 With Love and Joy,

Lisa
