It has been a busy Winter/Spring for us. Thus - no blog posts in over 4 months! I'll try to do better for awhile here! So - trying to catch up here. I think there are at least 5 new posts including chickens, 4H, Easter & projects! In March Gretchen rented this HUGE cargo van and drove to Kansas City to help her Mother move to an assisted living apartment. It was a whirlwind trip - 2 days out - 3 days there - and 3 days back! The girls thought it was neat - and wanted to go along to play dog catcher. No dice! Gretchen made the trip to KC and back solo.
Here she is a week later - after we unloaded all the things she brought back from Kansas City and was en route back to the airport to return that &*($#@ van.
A few weeks later it was feeling like spring. We've decided to stay close to home and enjoy some of the sites nearby. One Sunday after church we went to see the Vanderbilt mansion. WOW - talk about the Guilded Age! Not our taste - - but the grounds along the Hudson River are gorgeous.
The front of the Mansion! all 54 rooms, and 30,000 square feet! And of all the Vanderbilt grandchildren (some 40 of these mansions were built) this is the SMALLEST ONE! However, it is pristine - having never been sold to another family - and has been in the NYS Parks Service for the last 50+ years. You can make out the girls on the "porch"!
Grace being sassy! She's getting pretty good at that!
