We have a wonderful neighbor that stopped by and introduced herself the first day we were here. She has a 9 ½ year old daughter that finished school this week. When we got home that first night, she had left 4 candy bars and an invitation to a play date for the girls that evening, but we didn’t make it home early enough for it to work out.
She stopped by again today and brought her daughter for us to meet. When we told her about the nettles, she told us that the antidote always grows right beside it…all you do is rub the leaf on the spot that touched the nettle, and it supposedly relieves you of experiencing any negative symptoms….wouldn’t that have been nice to know this afternoon! We are SO thankful to know in case we bump into it again!
She also dropped off some cream for us to put on our nettle stings and a bag of warm clothes for Maddie that her daughter had outgrown! It included a wool sweater she had made herself! She even walked down in the rain to show us how to use our oven...which was embarrassingly easy! She has been such a blessing to us.

Amanda made it to N and so did her luggage! She also texted Sarah that she had a great visit with KB.
I'm praying for you all.
