We had an eventful visit with our sweet friends Heidi, Dave, Vance and Holly Mitchell this past week. They arrived on an incredibly windy Monday afternoon. As they were getting out of the car Judah got his thumb SMASHED in the front door in the wind. It is black and blue and looks awful. Poor boys. He was a tough little trooper and didn't let it slow him down too much. We make hobo dinners on the campfire for supper that night. Most of them turned out too black to eat and we ended up ordering pizza. After putting the kids to bed the four grown up got to have some wonderful visiting time! So refreshing. I wish we could be part of their new church Westridge Community Church in Wichita, KS. Tuesday morning Heidi and I spent about an hour on the porch drinking coffee and talking. That truly was the highlight of their visit for me. Heidi is a heart friend who knows me and loves me just the same. It lifts my spirits just to sit with her. Our new chicks arrived Tuesday also so the kids had fun naming and playing with them. One little weakling was named Floppy. No one had much hope for Floppy and we did end up losing that little one the next day. But as we all discussed Floppy and her probably demise, Vance, Heidi's youngest said, "Oh I wish Floppy didn't have to die. I am going to miss her." Sweet boy. As we headed up to the house we realized that our lab Snickers had killed one of my Barred Rock Hens. Grrrrr... We locked her in the garage and threw the hen in the burn pit. After a picnic lunch at the creek Snickers killed a second hen. The men cleaned the hen and I put it in the crock pot. These are just the highlights. I am so thankful for the time we got to spend with these dear friends! Thanks for visiting!
