Farmerville, LA- Fun with Friends

This week we have been in Farmerville, Louisiana where Joel graduated from high school.

A few months ago Joel was able to get in touch with his good friend, Cindy who still lives here in town. She took us under her wing when we hit town and kept us well entertained and well fed!

She invited us out to her family home and spoiled us rotten!

She called up another one of their good high school buddy's, Bill, who came and spent the day. There were old "remember when' stories flying left and right.

This is Cindy and her husband, Brian, and Bill standing by Joel.

Cindy cooked up a true southern feast and had ruined Joel for my cooking.

She baked a turkey and made cornbread stuffing

sweat potato casserole

green beans with bacon

warm rolls

pecan pie

sweet potato pie with pecans

and a rich yummy chocolate cake!

I think we were all about waddling by the time we were done eating.

Brian took Seth and I out in their 'gator' for a tour through the back 40, so to speak. He really tried to find an armadillo for me to see, but we didn't have any luck.

Seth and Ellie made a new friend in Cindy's nephew

Cindy's dad has a new hobby of raising mules

Cindy found a big box for Seth and Ellie to play in.

They had a blast!

And to top off our fun day, it was also Ellie's 6 month half birthday. She is getting so big and is such a delight! What a blessing she is in our already blessed life.
