100% would make again

In our farmhouse kitchen, I grew up helping my mom make soup and pies. My husband's a doctor, and we live on a "hobby farm" here in the Skagit Valley. Through the years, we've raised everything from turkeys to horses. Right now, there are steers in the pasture. Larry and I have four children. The eldest was married last summer...the youngest is finishing kindergarten!
