We love visitors to the farm. Especially those that are looking for the total farm experience. We’ve been blessed this weekend to have one of my oldest friends visit and we’ve made sure Diane hasn’t missed a second, experiencing our current farm life. Needless to say, she’ll go home exhausted!
We could roll out the red carpet, but instead we rolled out the painting tools. We two worked hard at ‘catching up’, running the paint rollers, running our mouths and painting the living room! It was great to be together and the living room is looking warm, inviting and more like our home. I ‘let’ her help me clean up a huge pile of fence posts, fence rails, pig pen wood, and taught her how to roll up barbed wire. Then I taught her how to drive John D. and best of all take a turn around the yard on Jubal. I asked her to belt out the theme song to ‘Green Acres’, but she was too busy trying to not drive Jubal into the pond.
We made sure to show her some of the local sights too, the college, the rodeo grounds, main street, the Feed & Seed and of course Fred Myers! We took her to church and to meet a new friend who has rescued a fawn. I must say we do provide a one of a kind weekend!
We’ve loved every minute of having Diane and she is captivated by our wonderful old home, the beautiful farm, our gorgeous skies, the surrounding countryside and the opportunity God has given us with this new life. My soul is filled from the connection that only time with a dear friend can give it.
AND with all the work we have to do here, she totally understands why we sleep so well at night!
