I have attended two of Cheri's herb classes and I must say I certainly learned a lot. She is very knowledgeable, informative, and practical in her teaching. She is a wonderful teacher!

Elijah was able to take a class on the back porch in basket making. There were many things for the kids to participate in....he had SUCH a great time!
This lady had the patience of a saint. Elijah not only talked through the entire process but his feet were never still...directly behind him on the porch was a group of ladies playing dulcimers, fiddles and more...lovely bluegrass, gospel and old timey hymns....glorious!
And the finished project....
Tomorrow I'll share some pictures of our little "shop" area and you can meet Tom Sawyer who spent most of the day on our front porch....you won't believe what he was doing!
He looks so handsome in his uniform, and the basket looks amazing! I am going to have to take the herb class. Keep me posted when you are teaching that one again in our vicinity!
