Friends are Friends Forever

We had a wonderful visit with friends from our years living in Richmond. It was very, very hard to say good bye to this family when we moved because we were sooo close, but we have managed to keep in touch. Not as well as I had hoped, I must admit, but getting back together for a visit felt like we had never had time apart. It is true... friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them.

Kiara had a blast playing with Abi even though she's 3 years younger.

They have a lot of the same interests. Unfortunately for the goats, one of them is horseback riding...

Then Kenai decided HE'D like to be the one on a horse...

The kids had a good time shooting Kiara's BB gun. Little brother, Luke, didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that it was PINK! I just love the look on his face as he takes aim!

The kids spend a lot of time playing with our 14 little chicks (still housed in our living room, by the way... C'mon warmer weather!!!)

I know Kerry and I will be friends for life! It was great getting back together again for fun times!

What's New at Roselawn

Been a few weeks since I posted. Paul's sister, Joan, has been here for the past week helping Paul get ready to open his Vendor's Mall at the building he bought in town. She left today but plans to come back this weekend. The Grand Opening is March 1st, and he really needs her help to get things in place before then. I have been busy working and taking care of Roselawn and Kiara. I try to help when I can, but I'm sure it's not as much as he'd like... so Joan's help has been a welcomed blessing! She was staying here when we first opened the B&B and really helped us get the house going, too. Everywhere I turn there's a reminder of all she did for us... the curtains she made, the decorative woodwork in the bathroom, the walls she helped paint, the pictures she helped hang... Thanks, Joan!

We have 16 little baby chicks in our living room right now. I can hear them chirping away as I type. The get bigger and bigger every minute and soon will be moved to the coop outside. Right now they are too vulnerable to go out there. They require a temp of 95 -100 degrees, so needless to say, it has been hot in our house! Maybe I'll have a pic of them next post.

New Do

Kiara got her haircut yesterday. It's short in the back and longer up front. I looks really cute on her. Now we need to see how it does with her kind of styling, which is very minimalistic!

We are leaving my mom's house soon to go to a friend's house for a Super Bowl party. I'm not big on football, but I do like hangin' out with food and friends! I was surpised today with a call from a very good friend from back in Richmond. She and her family are coming for a weekend visit in a few weeks. I can't wait to see you guys, Kerry!
