Our stay with Ruth and Norman was everything we hoped for and more. The setting was perfect, over looking the valley and tree covered hills. We were greeted by free range chickens, Alpacas that were nothing but curious and two of the friendliest dogs around, Pepper and Sable who wanted nothing but play or to be scratched. Ruth and Norm greeted us with open arms and immediately tried to feed us with home made fair and wine. They pointed us in the direction of the local fair where we had a lovely dinner that was put on by the parents of the local high school for a fund raising event. When we returned, we were offered a late night snack and a drink. We decided to retire to the privacy of our room which was perfect.

The next morning were were greeted with the best meal yet on our trip. Stated off with fresh fruit on yogurt drizzled with maple syrup. Next were farm fresh eggs from the free range chickens outside, home made preserves, local sausage and Norm's special baked beans, which I could not get enough of. Before we left, Ruth gave us a personal tour of her lovely garden set on their one hundred acre lot. Unfortunately, we did not have the time to explore the trails that snaked away from the farm. By the way, the loft of the barn is an art studio filled with Norm's paintings.

Thank you Ruth and Norm, we enjoyed our stay immensely.
