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

2100 Miles in 5 days...

A last minute decision 
on Tuesday Morning
had us renting a car and
on the Road at 3pm Wednesday Afternoon
We were off to the 
Chappell Family Reunion 
(Bruces Moms family)
in Milford New Hampshire
Our first stop was 
Freedom, New York
after much delay by
the border patrol in Canada
(YES they strip searched the car) 
we arrived at my Uncle Georges at
1 am....

Where my mom was born and raised
Centerville - 
This barn above is the only original building left

Where the house used to be

One of the reasons we LOVE upstate New York
Bruce says he could live here!!

Good to spend time with Doug, Peggy and Drake
My mom  hitched a ride with us
we left her in Westernville so she could visit with
Aunt Lois and Uncle Dave

Hours of fun on the slip and slide...
Even some almost 60 year olds had a great time
We had a wonderful time 
Thank you to those who made it all possible
Thank you to those with empty beds
and warm breakfasts!!
Though it definitely was 
NOT 
in our budget to go
We are certainly glad we did!!
We got home safe
and 
We have proved...
The roads do indeed go both ways...
