Luke's birthday weekend, we were able to get away for a night...just the two of us (!)...without kids (!)....to some good friends' farm just north of here. Rick and Bev Brown are our dear friends from church...they have a beautiful place where you can just go and be still and take in God's creation. We had a great time...and Luke got to do another of his favorite pastimes besides golf....yes, fishing! Thanks to the Browns for having us out.
I'm trying to learn how to take sunset pictures with my camera. Didn't quite get it with this one, but you get the picture. It was just gorgeous. 
They have a big stone pavilion right out beside the house....with this amazing fireplace built into it! Just perfect for roasting marshmellows and warming up your toesies.
The horses ate apples right out of our hands...
Bev has a special love for her cows...
See the new baby calf lying there in the middle of the pic? So sweet...
This is a bull named Curly the IIIrd....seriously, look at his curly hair between his ears! 
This is one of my favorite parts of the farm...the jeep!
The fishermen.
Luke caught a good size bass! Course it doesn't compare to Henry the Ist. But that's another story for another time...P.s. Rick is one of my new fav authors! He has written two books now... check him out at www.rickbrownonline.com
His newest book, The Journey, has become one of my favs!
