I am off for a few days. We are processing our honey harvest and I am up to my ankles in honey and wax. My son is away on a business trip and, as he is a single dad with sole custody of his kids, Bruce and I are also taking care of our grandkids until Sunday. We have to drive them 20 miles each way to school each day and I’m feeling a bit frazzled. I will start posting on a regular basis on Monday. My very best wishes to you and yours.
Fondly,
Kathy

Wow! You’re quite a gal! I enjoyed meeting you and taking your workshops. Wasn’t it a great weekend? Can’t wait till next year. Sounds like you’re going to have a busy week ahead. Enjoy the grandkids and don’t work too hard!

I was so nice meeting you. I don’t mind the hard work. I mind the too busy schedule. I am so looking forward to a day when I don’t have to leave my house to go any further than my garden.

Kathy, was a true pleasure meeting you. Like yourself, I did not realize until later that you are the author of one of the books on my desk (Just in Case). Congrats on the book, you did a fine job! Anyways, please give me a call or send me an email at mat@stein-design.com so we can continue our conversation/dialog. We were both so tapped out for time at the Mother Earth News fair that the dialog got cut short.
Best, Mat Stein

Good luck with the honey harvest–hope the bees were good to you…we just finished ours. Not the best of years d/t drought and extreme heat but still selling well in our outlets…Pa is so hoping for a new extractor! DEE

My dad raised bees and I remember the honey harvest well — the first one I remember I was about three and despite being told I could only have a piece of comb if it was given too me, so I helped myself to a piece — complete with bee. The last one I remember, I had visiting friends from college who were driving cross country, I said there’s something cool going on in the basement, only to have one of my friends (the male) come running up the stairs in a panic to the amusement of us locals and females.
Have fun — with the honey and the grandkids.
