our family for parties and picn
ics.
My husband Mike and I will be
married 34 years on Sept. 2. We
have two sons, Michael, who is
married, and Kirk, who has
Down Syndrome and lives with
us.
We live in an old stone and
ficame bank barn that Mike con
verted into a home for us. We
enjoy auctions, antiques, clocks,
Fry glass, and other collectibles.
Kirk likes collecting Ertle banks,
cars, trucks, and tractors.
We also enjoy Lancaster
Farming for recipes, articles, and
auction listings.
Cows are always a great deco
rative accent for a barn, so here ’s
hoping.

three brothers and one sister. I
now have 12 grandchildren and
love them very much. I enjoy
having them and hearing about
their school days, work days, and
other activities they involved
with. The grandchildren range

VANILLA GOAT
MILK PUDDING
Vi cup sugar
IVi tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups goat milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
2Vi tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine sugar, cornstarch,
goat milk, and beaten egg in a
saucepan. Cook over medium
heat, stirring often with a whisk
until Thick and bubbly. Remove
from heat. Add butter and va
nilla extract. Beat with mixer or
by hand until smooth and
creamy. Serve warm or cold. I
usually double this recipe.
This is one of my favorite reci
pes for using up extra goat milk
(three milking goats equal lots of
surplus milk).
We enjoy “homesteading” in
central Pennsylvania. Our goats
play an important role in our
trying to be as self-sufficient as
possible with the Lord’s help. I
also make soap and cheese.
We have found that farm life
is a wonderful way to raise
happy, responsible children.
Thanks so much for a
