We found Garin in the fall of 2021 after prior fruitless searching in the region for a drum…read moreinstructor for our then 6 year old child. Garin was immediately engaging with him, adjusting his tactics to find something that worked for our child and patiently coaching him through his moods, transition aversion, and esteem issues. He has had weekly sessions with Garin ever since, and grows by leaps and bounds as a drummer. We can see his success boosting his confidence in other areas of his life. Music is a lifelong gift and Garin's passion, professionalism, and patience has given that to my child and I couldn't be more grateful. He is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person; if you're in the market for drum instruction meet him and find out for yourself!

Garin is the ABSOLUTE BEST! We would give him lots more stars if we could. We (fortunately)found…read moreGarin after a bad experience with another local instructor who almost zapped the passion for drumming from our 10-year old boy. Garin is so incredibly kind, positive, energetic and fun. He promotes creativity and builds confidence. He clearly loves what he does. Garin quickly recognized our son's learning style and adapted his teaching methods. Our son adores him and looks forward to each session. We can't recommend him enough! He's a very special instructor and human being and our family feels very lucky to have found him. We just wish we would've found him sooner!

So I had a ring made at Sid Stevens and was given a ring from Sid Stevens. Love them both. Both…read moreare platinum with solid shanks. Since then I have lost some weight and need the rings sized down a hair. Unfortunately, when I called to ask how long and how much, I was told by the end of the week but that they couldn't tell me how much. I have to bring the rings in to get an exact price. When I asked for a ballpark, the woman refused. I asked if it would be $700 to size one ring and she said she couldn't tell me without seeing it. I'm sorry, but really? All I wanted was a ballpark. So now I can drive over there to find out what the cost is or I can just give up on Sid Stevens and go to one of the stores that was wiling to give a ballpark. Guess which one I am going to pick? Before you wonder why I didn't call the store and ask for Sid, I have found that the gatekeeper won't let you talk to him. So...I can't speak to the manager, I can only speak to someone who can't help me. ugh.

Bill's juicy paintings are a strong part of the offerings there. Whether he's responding to poetry or to his backyard habitat, or painting riverside somewhere, each painting shows a mastery of technique letting the paint do its thing. He makes it look easy but it is one of the hardest lessons for any artist to learn. Other artists showing there are some of the best in the region, as well as a few up-and-comers Bill and Paige are mentoring.

I have been purchasing books for our home school from Milestone Ministries for nearly ten years…read more They changed their name in recent years to Milestone Ministries but they have always upheld a very high level of service and quality. The prices are excellent, the selection is very good, and the website is easy to navigate. The shipping is always very speedy even when I choose the slower and less expensive options. The books are packed with a level of care and skill I have never encountered with any other shop. The books are stacked together thoughtfully and securely bound with a clear plastic cling wrap. They are cushioned with a lot of packing peanuts. I have never once received anything from Milestone Ministries that was less than pristine. Everything is as good and fresh as if I'd have picked it directly off the printing press! I originally began dealing with Milestone Ministries many years ago when I was searching for a place to purchase Pathway Readers (Amish school readers) and Rod and Staff English. I was so impressed with the service and products that I continued to do business with them every year since and have purchased many other items for both the children and myself. I would certainly recommend this shop to other home schooling families looking for Amish and Mennonite materials whether you are Christian or not. I am no longer Christian but I did grow up with Anabaptist beliefs. These materials have been very helpful for me with my children because my children can easily identify with the overall lifestyle and even the clothing styles presented in the texts and storybooks because it is very similar to our every day circumstance. The character values are also on par with what I am striving to instill in my children. I have only felt the need to edit books with white out and a pen, skip a lesson, or provide an additional assignment very few times here and there. On the other hand, I have had to edit and discuss and explain a LOT more with secular texts than with these so it has made my life easier for sure. So, in a nutshell if you are looking for Amish and Mennonite materials you will likely not be disappointed if you deal with Milestone Ministries. They have a return policy AND they will even buy back used books too.
