When we were first married, we lived in an area with a strong Mennonite presence... I remember one gentleman at the weekly farmers market that made the absolute best blueberry crumble pie... it was delicious!
As a military spouse myself, I love reading military romance, and all of the secret ops stuff! I know so many people that have gone overseas and just to be able to have that incorporated into books I'm reading makes them not seem so far away :)
