The little touches we're thoughtful & much appreciated. It was a chilly weekend & Sandy had a nice supply of hot tea & fuzzy warm blankets. She also left out snacks & wine. She asked in advance about her dogs being in the yard - we said we'd love to see them. They are adorable and we looked forward to their visits. We had one question come up & Sandy answered immediately. We were visiting family in Dallas- but we like to get away and this was the perfect retreat. (Not that we don't love our family)
