July 25th to July 31st; 150 Cemetery Lane - Les and Barb Packard
We had a nice visit with Les and Barb; Pam and Darrel.
We arrived on Saturday around 4:00 or so. Les and Barb were sitting outside, waiting for us. Barb took a video of our arrival. Their property is beautiful and we had a beautiful spot for the RV and the dog pen. Barb showed me around right away; the trees she planted (magnolia that is beautiful); their little garden where they have carrots and beet greens; the swing overlooking the pond that Barb refinished. She also pointed out the poison ivy. Les got a patch of poison ivy rash because he considerately went down Cemetery lane, clearing branches and any other obstacles that would have caused possible issues.
Inside, we got the grand tour of the downstairs. The Packards have been busy. We loved their sun room with the fine detail (the pine ceiling and the nice case wrapping with same around windows). Speaking of windows there are windows galore. Camo kitty likes to head to the sun room first thing in the morning to catch some rays. There is a nice downstairs bedroom with a king size bed that was offered to us but we decided to stick with the trailer so as not to deal with dogs in the house and we are comfortable out there.
Upstairs, we saw Barb's beautiful renovated bathroom. I neglected to get pictures of that but trust me, it demonstrates her decorating talents. Everything is first class and deco chic!
We enjoyed some meals together: Les's famous spaghetti; Maria's paprika chicken; Barb's pancakes and sausage:)
We really enjoyed our special time with family, a nice visit worth the trek across the States!
These two shots are from our walk looking back across the pond towards the house, Beautiful!
Happy hour!
Steve and Barb enjoyed sibling time.
Camo!

The boys enjoyed window views out trailer window. We kept them in their pen except for their walks as we didn't want them chasing any wildlife into the woods!
On Tuesday, we went to see Pam and Darrel a little bit north of Springfield. We had a great visit. This was the first time we had seen their property. We also enjoyed seeing their new Montana 5th wheel. Deluxe! 41 footer.
