I can honestly say… my home feels like a vacation from the world.
It’s not just a house on a hill...it’s our domestic church, our little sanctuary where prayer weaves through the walls.
Now and then, someone will say, “Why don’t you come down off that hill?”
And gently, I smile.
I do… but not often.
Why would I trade peace for worldly chaos?
This hill is where we’ve built an altar of family life… where the sacred meets the ordinary and grace greets you at the door (or a barking dog )
So instead of leaving, I invite others to come up...to be physically and spiritually nourished, to rest (ignore the occasional boy on his ATV ) and simply breathe.
In this world, we all need a place where Heaven still feels near.
Sending our love and prayers to our remnant family...Wendy, Walt and the entire Cukierski family

L**** and I were one of the precipitants of This mission. She is right. My parking was 9 per day for 3 months. Then on top of that food cost me approximately 15 per day. That was cheap - I got vouchers for $5.00 per meal. So somedays I did not eat or made meals last for more then one meal. Had to. Parking was $810. Food was $1,300. Then you have normal household bills and I have 3 animals I had to pay to have people come and take care of them. At first I had my dog in the Kennel for 1/2 the time. That was about 500. It is VERY expensive to have a sick child. That was Just ONE hospital stay. We have had numerous ones. Some only a few days, some a week or two. Without their help we would of gone fully under!
From providing necessary funds to actually having families stay with us...we DO what we say we do!
