We Went to the Farm...

Above Picture is Grandma, Papa, and my mother-in-law Cheryl.

I have fallen in love with the Hampton family, my mother-in-laws side of the family. I am so thankful for family and the moments we can to spend with them.

My mother-in-law, Cheryl flew in from N.C this past Thursday. We then left Thursday evening to go to The Farm.

Let me tell you about The Farm... there is no internet, no cell phone service, no cable, and the nearest Walmart is apx. 20 min. away... So, you ask, what do you do on The Farm? Glad you asked!

We stay up late... we play liverpool rummy (til Parker gets mad)... we experience true relaxation... we talk... we swing on their old porch swing and listen to the hummingbirds and the frogs croak in the woods... we sit and listen as PaPa tells us stories from the past and watch as Grandma stands over the stove all day to prepare the most scrumptious meal... we sit around and look through old scrapbooks or talk about how to make a quilt that grandma had made... we sleep in til however late we desire (even though the floor above us begins creaking as soon as PaPa and Grandma wake up)...we might take a shower while we are there... and we might make one trip outside of the 480 acre property.... but, we most certainly will take walks and watch as the puppies roam around freely with nearly nothing in site... we also will most certainly make memories, laugh, and maybe even cry (from laughing so hard)... oh and if you are Diesel (Robyn and Josh's dog)- you may get sprayed by a skunk... sound relaxing? It is, and very much so priceless.

I just needed to share that with you today...
