We hiked around their property and I got to share in my girlfriend's dream for a bit. She and her husband are sitting together each night to draw up plans, pick out cabinets, and decide where to put a deck to maximize the view. It reminds me of a line from My Little Book About God:
"God gives us hopes and wishes and dreams, plans for our grown-up years ahead."
I have never seen a donkey close up, and we got to see two! We also saw horses and cows. Jackson loved it- he even got to pet a horse's nose.

Has anyone else had a Newman's Own Oreo? They are wheat-free and dairy-free. I got them yesterday and I can't stop eating them. I think I am going to throw them away. But they are really good...

Sounds like a beautiful trip. The children and I like to drive there from time to time. Or at least we did before gas prices went up! :) But I know what you mean about nature vs. suburbia. We keep looking longingly at homes on at least 1/2 an acre, zoned so that we could have chickens and a goat. Then you could have a field trip to our house!
In other news...I had NO IDEA Newman's Own made Oreos! But I need some for E.'s birthday cake this year. Where did you get them? He wants a garden cake, and it'd be perfect to grind them up and make "dirt"!
Thanks for bringing the co-op order to my house. You really rescued me yesterday, Jen. Wish I had been here so you could have come in for a while.
Where else? :) The co-op. How I love a good dirt cake! Type in "Newman's Own cookies". I found them when I was looking through the sale catalog.
I really hope that you do get a home with property for animals! Great teaching opportunities abound. You can bet we will do many field trips to the (x) Family Farm and Gluten Free/ Casein Free Bakery.
Thanks for reading and writing, friend!
