It's winter now in Virginia. Christmas is past, along with all the festivities of that season, and now we look forward to the promises of spring. Come on in, sit and visit and have a cup of tea, while we talk about the delights and hopes of the kidding season to come.

My husband Bob and I settled here in Fauquier County, Virginia, in the 70's. Here we raised our sons, Robert and Patrick. The boys are grown and have started families of their own now. Robert and his lovely wife, Kyung Jin Lee, have given us our first two grandchildren, Brenna and Katie (born October 2002). They are the light in our lives. We were blessed to welcome another delightful daughter-in-law into the family when Patrick married Caroline Carbaugh in September of 1999. Patrick and Callie are expecting their first child in June.

Mary Jo Fines
