As most of you know, @MommaDJane visited my home this past weekend. @MommaDJane stayed in my home for three nights after we picked her up from the Manchester, NH airport. Most may not know she hates to fly but she flew on two planes to come meet my family and me for the first time! {Thank you BTW for braving that trip alone Dwan}
Friday we sort of spent recouping from her trip from Texas to New Hampshire and Saturday we woke up ready to go visit my family farm. I was able to get @MommaDJane to sit on an old Oliver tractor found in my families back yard {our farm yard} and we took pictures. She was ready to go haying … or whatever it is this machine does 😉
Next we introduced her to a killer turkey, no I am not joking, my father AND step mother have forewarned me this turkey is MEAN, they haven’t ever seen a mean and nastier turkey in their life. I am uncertain the breed of turkey, however, it’s some heritage breed of Turkey well worth around $40-$60 I believe and yuppers Dad can’t even do more than just end up eating it since it’s so mean! Here is the ol’ fellow now:
After we met the turkey and some chickens too, as well as my step mothers horse we went to enjoy the pool, now I may be getting this trip all out of order, it was a long day and an ever so long weekend. I am slightly exhausted writing this post so please do not quote me on the order of events, none the less this all happened and we have the pictures to prove it! Here are some photos of us enjoying some time by the pool at the family farm:
Needless to say it was a great day full of fun at the family farm, and it was ended by some home made wine and a BBQ!
Sunday and Monday, well we were running into some issues with timing and unable to go hiking, dinner at the beach and show her the big trees in Bradford, NH. We did get out to the Olive Garden in Concord, NH so I guess it wasn’t a complete waste of a day! Monday, well that was another rough day, Justin had to work and so it was just @MommaDJane, the kids and me. I wanted to do something for the last two hours she was here visiting but really we ended up completing some work we wanted to do like helping 20@MommaDJane update her resume. Time flew by and still I wish we had at least hiked Mt Ascutney, VT that would have been a BLAST!
I am thankful for the time we had, it was very nice to meet @MommaDJane and I look forward to reading whatever she thought of her trip to New Hampshire.
