Joni goes home

Oh what a fabulous week we had here with Joni. This was the first time she had been out to visit the farm so we had so much fun showing her everything. Joni has a special love for landscapes and stars. She will stop anything she is doing to check out a sunrise, sunset, or sky full of stars. So this was the perfect place for her.

The trip culminated yesterday when Joni took the boys to Dollywood for a fun-filled day before we took her to her hotel. She had a very early flight this morning, and being as we are about 1.5 hours from the airport, this was the best way to do it.

Here are some pictures of our fun-filled week. As usual, there were many tears from everyone as we said good bye. But at least we live only a few states away -- and not countries!

The boys taught her Chess while she was here!
