What a wonderful post. It makes me homesick for what I've never known directly but almost feel as though I remember. I love the title and the two-bucket cow!

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you so much. And yes, I know just what you mean--it was like entering a different world, yet familiar too. Homesick is a good word for that feeling!

A lovely read. I especially like the notes the girls wrote to Linda. And what hard workers they all are.

Thank you so much, Maureen. I was lucky to meet these girls and the whole family. And yes, I loved receiving those letters!
