We've moved

to all of our Customers and Friends -
Thank you for your support thru the years -
As of December 2015 Wests Windy Acres Farm has closed -
Bruce accepted a job offer in Georgia
that was too good to turn down
(especially because it means we are so close to our grandbabies -)
Keep an eye on our blog - hoping it will feed your soul and motivate you toward positive thinking

Our Georgia Trip - in detail

Its looking like rain and FALL – cannot believe how much the leaves can change in just two weeks!!
We had a wonderful time in GA –
We stopped in Ohio at Brian (Bruces Brothers)and Mindys on the way down –
they had no power
but they did have a generator – so we had hot showers ;-))
Good times with them as always!!
Still wonder why people with young children need any other forms of entertainment –
those kids kept us rolling with laughter both times we were there – what a hoot!!!
We were almost to the Demorest Conv. grounds on Wed. when Jamie pulled up next to us on
his bike – so we followed him home…
They have a BEAUTIUFL home in a BEAUTIFUL setting -
We enjoyed staying there during convention
as they are only 8 miles from the convention grounds ;-) Wonderful convention days –
lots of encouraging things and the weather was perfect
for convention, though a bit cool for me – I had a blanket around me in most of the meetings!! ;-))
YES, they were laughing at this northern girl – thought I should be used to that kind of weather!!
We discovered one thing down there after two weeks – I don’t ache down there like I do up here!!
Hmmmm - - Must be we should have been packing and moving LOTS further south!!
It was awesome to see so many people that we know & meet in person our "FACEBOOK FRIENDS"
Monday Krystal had the day off and we went up to Clarkesville for lunch
and a little sight seeing – that was dampened by a huge fire at one of the plantation houses there so we did
not get to see much but we did have an AWESOME lunch!!! Blue Pacific Grill – DELISH!
We did a bit of shopping at Lowes then as we saw a few projects we wanted to get done for them –
So while they were working during the days we worked on projects for them –
Bruce bought them a nice extension ladders and go their gutters cleaned out and a few other
ladder required projects - I painted their front door, we painted their kitchen -
We also did some yard work, trimmed hedges, arranged furniture, emptied some boxes,
arranged a couple of cupboards, decorated etc… We had a nice time getting things done
for them – in the evenings we were either out for dinner or having company ;-)) Good to see everyone!
We headed home this past Saturday Morning we headed out with much trepidation as there was
no gas to be found anywhere in that area – we stopped at one place and they ran out just
as we got to the pump – then the next place –
Bruce was able to fill up and they ran out just as he finished - - YIKES
We stopped at Brian and Mindys for the night, a deslishious dinner and more Entertainment ;-)))
We went to meeting and lunch with them yesterday and then hit the road –
we had smooth travels – and though its good to be back in the area it just does not feel like home –
with the sleeping bags and mattress on the floor feels more like camping…
The machine movers and they will be here on the 16th at 9 am to move the machines –
So that means a very busy 2.5 weeks for us -
working on details during the day and completing the shop at night –
We will close down WST on the 14th and open back up on the 20th ;-) (Jamie and Krystals 1st anniv.)
Bruce & Deb
I have LOTS of pictures to post but need to wait till I have faster inet!!

For Fun...

We went to an auction last weekend - this was part of the view!
Bruce got two bargins a grinder & a craftsman table saw -
THEY BOTH WORK!!

Blaze LOVES his Frizbee and when you see him
he is carrying it! He greets Bruce EVERY morning like this!

The other night we worked late so we headed to

Fischers for dinner

Our friend James was in rare form!!

If you like Grouper they have the best... I love it on a salad

I always say NO CROUTONS

and always end up with one or two

hidden someplace or

obvious ;-))

Groupler Salad with Blue Cheese Crumbles & French Dressing

Thursday Charly and I had to drop our van off

for tire rotation, oil change ...

So we decided to do a bit of shopping...

We had LOTS of laughs....

Room for two?

Moving

Almost finished wall in the New Shop
...its been determined by Bruce
that we need to be living at the other house
and working up here at the farm during the day...
SO if the weather cooperates we
will be moving to Cedar House this week -
We will come up here every day to work -
It will be easier to get the shop done that way -
as its too hard at 6pm to even think
of going down to Cedar to work on the new shop -
whereas if we are living there we
can work in the evenings and then sleep there...
The animals will stay here as we will
be up in the AM to feed them
and before we leave in the evenings...
