This weekend we did not go to "THE farm" - Gasp - but we did go to work at another farm. We have dear friends who have a very fun place in West Virginia. After 20 years of visits with family and with friends we have loads of fond memories. So when Uncle Tom passed away several years ago and Aunt Judy continued to keep her summer home open for all of us to enjoy, we were happy to help her with some of those things that just have to be done around the place. Ea
rlier in the summer John mowed the 40 some acres on her farm up the road from camp - where miles and miles of atv-ing has taken place and promised to come back at the end of the summer for one more round of mowing. That was how he spent his weekend. I went along to "help" and spent the weekend shopping at antique stores and scrapbook stores in town. I found some great prices on cookbooks - I can never seem to get enough - and some good prices on embroidered tablecloths and a decent price on a framed embroidered map of the US, complete with icons for famous places. I'll post a picture soon. I also took tons of photos, of the countryside, of the fall leaves beginning to change, of old outbuildings, whatever called to me to snap a picture. All in all it was a relaxing weekend and we enjoyed the time spent with a precious friend. Sunday the weather was perfect so we went over to the farm to inspect John's work and spent some time on the atv's. Someday, someday we'll have our own place cleaned up to be enjoyed with others and I can only hope that it is as peaceful and fun as camp is at Uncle Tom's Cabin in West Virginia.
