Well, I got my wish! I went to the country and got to sit on that porch and listen to the birds and trees! I even was able to experience the fire flies! I went to Cousin Jeanie's home in Missouri. It was a dream come true. I spent ten whole days out there with Lizbeth and had an amazing time. It was so different from the city life and I took in every second. We did so many fun things and even spent time on the deck just chattin about life and boy did we laugh! It is a very different lifestyle. I was able to meet a lot of people and I seen some beautiful , historical buildings. Lizbeth and I even left our mark in the town square! We were able to make our hand prints in cement in the town square. It was a much needed vacation and I enjoyed every minute. Jeanie was a very gracious host and we had our own rooms and she went out of her way to make us feel like her home was truly our home too! It's ironic that I posted a blog about going to the country and never knew it was going to happen. Dreams do come true. I got to meet Renee the mommy to Georgie the foal. I even was able to feed them grain a pet them while they ate. We went to so many thrift stores and even some really cool gift stores. One of the stores was 35,000 sq. feet of beautiful things for sale. It would take half the day or more to really soak in all they had. I was able to purchase a treasure. Well, to me it was my treasure. A perfect paper towel holder for my kitchen! I love it and was so excited to get it home. Next time I visit I'm packing light so I can bring my little treasures home. I asked Danny if I could go back in August and he said yes if it works out in the budget. I'm so excited!!! It feels great to be blogging again. p.s. this picture is Carthage City Hall.
