Melanie McCutcheon said… - Hey, I just got your message. I am sorry that I did that to you at Harding. I definitely had some anger problems back then. I am a very different person now. And yes, I think I have a great family. I am very happy :) The kids are all healthy and very smart. I am very proud of them. Your daughter is beautiful by the way. How old is she now? My girls are 9 and 8, and my step-boys are 8 and 6. We have a house full :)

David Fritsch said… - Hey Cheri,
I am from Northwest Indiana, and I'm currently trying to learn more about rain gardens and develop a simple how-to guide to creating one. I noticed that you have pictures of a new one that you did. Is there any chance that you could take a couple moments and tell me about some of the choices you had to make, how you made them, and your results?
Thanks,
David
