"Go East", they said...: Christmas in a barn.

Dear Friend;

Come along, make haste and join us in our adventures while living "In The East".

We are living in the east, geographically speaking, after a sudden work transfer beckoned us almost across the entire country, splitting our family in half with grown children/grandchildren remaining behind on the west coast.

We moved into our new home April/06 but never knew it would be God's providence to endure another move for work and positioning for a future medical situation. We moved again amidst 4 feet of snow in mid Dec/08.

We hope to continue sharing our pioneering moments with our family and friends back home, creating an environment for tenderly passing along the new memories we'll be making over here in the east, those that will stand the test of time in both thought and deed.

Sprinkling some ambiance into the mix will be a fully loaded and most positive outlook while we're on this adventure and new challenge together.

Please join us while we journey onward. Feel free to email me with your comments, questions or ideas. We welcome you here.

Sursum Corda!
Renee

Christmas in a barn.

Christmas in the barn

Ali waiting for his grooming.

Tonight was the night for the usual weekly horse riding lesson and volunteer grooming sessions. To our surprise, the barn was decorated and festive with a lit Christmas tree decorated in the entrance way, and red stockings hung on each and every horse stable (all thirty-three of them!), not to feel left out, the two dogs each had one hung above their house as well.

What a fun touch!

Two grooming "Rocky" for the teacher.

The owner remarked she usually had a few candy canes up on the tree each year, that was until the dogs figured them out and attacked the tree to eat them.
