WELCOME TO ON THE POND FARM

The blog is really notes to my friends, old and new, to let you know what's going on in our lives. Its also a diary of sorts for myself. It started at the farm in Ligonier, PA, hence the name, but now life and work has moved us back to Connecticut,

I've always taken lots of photos and sent postcards from everywhere we travel, just to keep in touch. Email took over and then the digital camera.

Instead of me plugging up your email, you can check in when you have the time.

And yes, another town with the same problems as any other!!!

Please enjoy and let me hear from you...really~

Hello! Greetings!

I know a lot of people know English much better than we know any other language, but for those that want some help, me included, I'm trying this translator.
