Praises and Compliments
Thank you everyone for your kind words... they are like a cool drink of water after a harsh desert trek. :-)
What a wealth of info... Your web site has been extremely informative.
I would say I have found a lot more information on
your site, than many of the other ones... It was good to see all of the
things in Arizona to do that I hadn't thought of
before. Sarah Wilson
I would just like to say your web site is wonderful. Every AZ homeschooler needs to see it! The
Arizona article you did we used recently when studying about AZ. It
is a great contribution to not just the homeschooling community; but to the whole community. Kelly
I read your piece on AZ history and it was very interesting. History is a favorite subject of mine, and though Ohio is far from Arizona, I'd love to visit your state someday. BTW, enjoy the skies out there, people all over the world envy the clear skies of Arizona. Thanks and take care, Jay Ryan.
I just came across your website while searching for apples + Arizona and found my business, Apple Annie's Orchard, featured in your Arizona Apples story. Thank you for including us in your excellent article!
I homeschooled my two children for 9 years, and appreciate the excellent work you are doing. The apple bread that we sell at Costco is the result of my son's homeschooling project when he was 8 years old. He developed the recipe himself and did all of the baking until he was 12 and we started baking for Costco. When he realized that we would have to hire bakers and he would not get all of the profits any longer he negotiated for a royalty on each loaf!
Keep up the good work! In Christ, Anne Holcomb, Apple Annie's Orchard www.appleannies.com
Wow! Gorgeous site! Very educational, entertaining, & inspiring!!
