Some facts you should know about Special Agent in Charge of Counter Terrorist Unit Los Angeles Jack Bauer the hero of TV's recently cancelled 24.
•There are three leading causes of death among terrorists. They are all Jack Bauer.
•When Jack Bauer was a child, he made his mother finish his vegetables.
•The city of Los Angeles once named a street after Jack Bauer in gratitude for his saving the city several times. They had to rename it after people kept dying when they tried to cross the street. No one crosses Jack Bauer and lives.
•Jack Bauer sleeps with a pillow under his gun.
•If everyone on 24 followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called 12.

HOMESTEAD HEART

My Week in Amish Country

Tweet

~~~~~~~~~~

This is Vesta and Eli Hochstetler from The Gospel Book Store in Berlin, Ohio, in the heart of Amish Country. They hosted the table I sat at, at the P Graham Dunn Spring Fair this last week.

Such nice people and they've been at this a long time. They really know the world of Christian fiction. I learned so much just talking with them.

This is Lee Ann Miller who, with her husband, owns the Miller Haus Bed & Breakfast where I stayed. Lee Ann made everything more fun just by showing up. Her website calls her an incurable extrovert and that fits well. She's got a TV show called Amish Country Living and you can sign up for her newsletter full of interesting facts about her part of the world, and great recipes, HERE.

The Miller Haus was an absolutely beautiful place and such nice people there. Dan and Amy took care of everything and the other guests were so fun to meet. I'd never stayed at a bed & breakfast before. Having breakfast with the other people staying there was such a friendly time. It is surrounded by Amish Country in Walnut Creek, Ohio. I loved it and if you want a quiet, fascinating trip, check out the Miller Haus and all the fun to be had around there.

And here I am at P Graham Dunn signing books. There was a special show for Book Store owners early in the week. Then on Friday and Saturday it was a party for the community. Pony rides, free popcorn, peanuts, cookies and drinks. A rocking horse and face painting and lots of booths like mine besides the beautiful things to be found at P Graham Dunn. If you're in a Christian bookstore, look around at all the beautiful things on the walls. Pictures, carved wood, figurines and toys, many of them are made by this company in Ohio.

Here's a picture of me (in a cowboy hat standing in the center) looking down from the magnificent curved staircase onto the lobby.

Elle is Irish Today

Tweet

Elle doesn't probably remember when she could be outside before.

After a long hard winter, this whole GRASS thing is very funny.
Look! I can walk without sinking over my head in a snow drift.

And it's St. Patrick's Day, Erin Go Braugh. Break out the green to match the lawn!

Aye, and I shall now be drivin' all snakes out of my bonny Ireland.

Or, well, at least out of the back yard.

Mommy saved her when all the walking and serpent battling got to be too much.

Not that she ever SAW a serpent, but that means she succeeded, right?

What all the Irish lassies are wearing today.
