Notes

To quote: "The Farm was awesome!" 6S wrote thank you notes to Gloria, Steven, Laura (our cook) and the apprentices this morning. The cards are really thoughtful and beautiful. I may hold onto them until after Open House so that you can see what's on their mind about the farm. I'd like to thank Betsy, Mike, Mark, Dan, Richard and Jonathan for all their work last week. The trip could not have been a success without them. Finally, I've got pictures of mine as well as from parents who visited the farm with us. I'm trying to figure out the most appropropriate way to share them with everyone. I'm thinking maybe flickr.com.
