Hope was such an education for me. She showed me how pleasant & respectful a well-educated young adult could be. She and her family have placed in me a goal to bring up my own children with her kind of mutual respect & fun-loving attitude.
Fun fact: Hope took the pictures that I now use for KnittedHome's online presence, including my profile & banner picture with my then-cell phone.
Hope
- How old are you & what grade are you in? What state do you live in now?
I am 17 and in 11th grade. I live in Oregon.
- How old were you when I started watching you?
I was 10.

I really enjoyed when we picked cherries and then made jam.
- Did you think I was a nice or mean babysitter when I watched you? Any particular reason? Do you still think I'm nice/mean?
I thought you were firm but fair. You didn't treat me as a little kid and I appreciated that.

Whenever you think you are being patient enough, be more patient.
Parents:
