It said, "having fun with the cousin crew". I know how it is to have close friends that feel like cousins, though! BTW, that was a funny question about the bare feet! ;) We certainly understand why y'all do that because we live on a farm and we garden (bare foot sometimes!) too. Great response! Y'all have a blessed Season celebrating Christ's birth. I appreciate your family and ministry. Keep up the good work for Christ!DeLane Moorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050230488064224810.post-86315209171950213962016-12-23T10:22:29.561-06:002016-12-23T10:22:29.561-06:00Bare feet on the farm/garden is all we've ever...Bare feet on the farm/garden is all we've ever known! It seems that something about living in the country and being in constant contact with the earth, seems to build up a very strong resistance to sickness + disease. We have been blessed to have no broken bones in our family (a few fractures + sprains though!) But there have been an untold number of times where we had cuts that would've normally required stitches, that we choose to heal + care for ourselves. And we all managed just fine. =) <br />So yes, maybe for others who haven't been exposed,, it would be more of an issue, but I think because we have grown up surrounded by those things you mentioned, it probably doesn't affect us as much.Bontrager Family Singershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185506849472759648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050230488064224810.post-2779083518075397162016-12-23T10:17:01.394-06:002016-12-23T10:17:01.394-06:00No, we aren't related to them!

Isn't it a danger to work with all those garden tools with unprotected feet? And are there not a lot of infections, bacteria and such you can pick up from the soil? Has anyone ever broken toes, impaled their feet with a tool or gotten infection from the soil? Just wondering...you guys are way braver than I am. A few broken toes when I was younger, and I now never go anywhere without something on my feet! :) Please let me know...just wondering how you do it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8050230488064224810.post-74445113594575675912016-12-22T15:56:41.486-06:002016-12-22T15:56:41.486-06:00I don't mean to be nosey, but are the Bowers y...I don't mean to be nosey, but are the Bowers your cousins?
