In the year 2000, Connie started writing online with a little e-mail machine. It wouldn't allow her to write more than a certain number of words. She had to be creative with her writings so she could fit more into each email. (For example: she would write "wud" instead of "would" in order to conserve space. She also frequently used a series of periods . . . . . . . instead of wasting valuable space on paragraphs.) These writings went out to a group of homemakers.
Years later, she had a computer. She continued to write emails the same charming way she always had. A selection of these emails are published here.
Each post (or letter/ email) from Connie is posted to this blog by the site administrator. They are published here, gently edited, similar to how they appeared in her original emails. (Over time, the administrator is working on carefully and gently fixing the posts to make them easier to read. You may see some posts in what is considered "original format," while others have spaces for paragraphs, capital letters when necessary, and some spelling repairs. We intend to leave at least one post in its original format because the history of these letters is valuable.)
Her book, "Dear Kitchen Saints" is a compilation of years of her email writing ministry. The book is gently edited and carefully organized (by Mrs. White from The Legacy of Home Press.) It is an incredible encouragement to many.
Update:
This blog was created, with permission and help from Connie, by Mrs. White (of "The Legacy of Home") in 2013. It is considered her "official blog." Connie's daily emails, which went out to a group of homemakers, were gleaned by Mrs. White, and posted here. Connie worked together with Mrs. White on this project.
Sometime in late 2016 Connie, who had Parkinson's disease, had to stop writing emails. Later, in November of 2021, Connie passed into her eternal rest in Heaven. You can read about this here, "Spiritual Rest - In Remembrance of Connie Hultquist."
Her wisdom, daily visits, and encouragement to Christian wives and mothers is greatly missed. The administrator will continue to post her letters, gleaned from archived files, as time permits. It is a great deal of work. We appreciate your patience.
Blessings,
Mrs. White, Site Administrator
