Happy Mother's Day everyone! I had a very nice surprise for Mother's day. About one o'clock a strange jeep pulled in the yard. Strange cars pull in the yard all the time to turn around, to get dance info, to ask to collect metal etc. Living on a farm on a secondary road gets you all kinds of visitors.
Anyhoo, this time a small lady rolled down her window and knew my name. I had no clue who she was. It turns out she is one of the children of the lady we bought the house from. This is a centennial farm and the homestead was settled around the mid 1800's. It was owned by the same family until we bought the place. The lady was taking her handicapped brother for a ride and to take flowers to her mothers grave for Mother's day. They drove by the house, saw cars in the drive and decided to stop. It was a wonderful little visit. We have decided to have them back for a dinner or something and take them through the house so they can visit memory lane. The brother is wheel chair bound so it will take a little work and planning but I think that would be a very nice thing to do this summer. For me it was the perfect Mother's Day gift. She said it was the perfect gift for her too.
