Walking into Barbara's livingroom and feeling immediately at home was terrific; then Barbara came in and we felt like old friends dropping by for a visit to catch up with each other. Since I spent the previous week in rural Nebraska, and have 3 cats, the ambiance offered by the chickens, bountiful garden, resident felines, and yard work in progress added to our pleasure staying in Barbara's home. The morning coffee and breakfast were like home - tasty and nutritious. The bed was very comfortable, and I enjoyed sleeping with the windows open. Thanks for your great 'hostessing'. C. U. again.
