Valerie is a 42-year-old, single, Reformed Christian lady who lives in Baltimore. She doesn't remember a time
before she knew and loved Jesus, but she does remember accepting John Calvin into her heart in March of 2000.
Valerie is a member of Christ Reformed Evangelical Church in Annapolis.
Though her career aspiration is to be a housewife, Valerie has not yet found anyone suitable who wishes to hire
her for employment in that field (or, more properly, anyone suitable has not found her), so in the meantime she
earns her daily bread working in communications -- editing, writing, print design and website management.

I always remember the "infinite loop" which was created whenever Laura or Mary asked their 'pa' for lemonade when at a county fair or gathering of some sort, etc.:
Laura: Oh, there's lemonade, Pa; can we have some?
Pa: Well, half-pint, you better go ask your Ma.
Laura: Can we, Ma?
Ma: You better go ask your Pa.
Laura: Can we, Pa?
Pa: You better go ask.....(well, you get the idea!)
