I began the project a couple of years ago and have gone through so many titles (even though I know a publisher will have the last say). It is full of stories and hope. I plan on having it completed by the end of the year. Whether I send it to publishers or self publish will be the next big question.

2009 Hand painted china

As autumn arrives it’s time for pumpkins at Roloff Farm nearby in Helvetia. Our son Matt with his family have operated a pumpkin patch for over 10 years. The past few years, since the television show, Little People, Big World began the numbers of folks visiting for the month has increased.

 Ron and I greet visitors each Friday, Saturday and Sunday. What fun duty. Molly and her friend Sarah work with us on most Saturdays and Sundays. As sheriff Ron strikes an imposing figure. I am his deputy as a pioneer woman.

We’d love to see you at the farm so be sure to take the tours, especially the tour to the old west town.

I have posted photos of the new harvest china I’ve designed and painted for Roloff Farm this year. If you come please check out the glass display case in the merchandise barn but if not then view on line here on this site. (I don’t have the photos up yet)

If you are in the area and it’s an open forum then please join us. Some venues will not be open to the public so if you have a place that you would like to invite us to speak please contact us. We have had several inquiries from the east so perhaps something can be worked out.  If you would like to have Peggy or Peggy and Ron come to address your group just respond in email: peggy@peggyroloff.com

The year has passed. January and February I’ll be speaking at women’s conferences in California. I’ll post the flyer here when it is published.

It is beautiful today since our big snow storm and Artic Blast here in Portland and surrounding areas. It’s colder than normal but the sun is out today so there are warnings of ‘black ice’. Tonight is the Winter Wonderland on TLC with the family so we are anxiously awaiting.

My big brother had his hip (same as mine) replaced on Friday and today is doing well. He is back east but we are checking on one another. His dear wife is sure a God send. I couldn’t have done it without Ron so am thankful everyday for a loving and kind husband.

Ron and I worked the Old West Town and greeted folks from Canada, Nebraska, Ohio, California, Texas, Virginia and across the street from us and other exotic places…. Ron had a good conversation with a woman from Serbia. Always dear and interesting people come to the farm.

We had a wonderful day, looking forward to tomorrow and the other week ends of the Month. Hope we see you there…
