Visiting the "Funny Farm"

Visiting my brother Bob who is my only sibling and is 10 years my senior was wonderful. We not only enjoyed reminiscing, short car trips to see the old places we both remembered, but just exploring their little farm and antiques was fascinating.

Ever since they were married in the 1970's Bob and Barbara have been members of the Rock Club and active in collecting rocks, a variety of antiques, old farm equipment and a very entertaining yard decor.

They have used the beautiful rocks to build a waterfall, wishing well, sun dial, walls, the chimney on their house and have arranged whimsical creatures in every corner of the lawn and flower beds.

Since it was fall when we visited it was time to paint the wooden attractions so Barbara's daughter Kam was busy making them beautiful for spring when they come out again. Ron even got in on the painting. He had a good artistic time!

My brother keeps many antiques in his home and nearby that private groups like his Rock Club get to enjoy from time to time.



Thanks to you – Bob and Barbara for feeding us and showing us a very good time!

Love to all -
