Off The Farm
For the first time in months, we took a weekend away from the farm and visited our sons in Charlotte, N.C. It was a wonderful weekend of sleeping in (something we never get to do) and eating out (also a rare treat). We spent the weekend catching up with great conversation and lots of laughter.
I wanted you to meet the newest member of our family....Sam. Sam is their new dog. He is a 14 week old Lab/Golden mix (they think) from the pound. He is doing great with the house training and already knows to sit on command. What a smart boy!!
We tried to sneak Sam into our suitcase to bring him home, but the boys wouldn't let us have him. We can't wait for Thanksgiving, when they all come to the farm for a visit....with Sam, too!
