Let Freedom Ring

What a beautiful place the cabin is during the summer! We try and escape there as much as possible so we don't fry ourselves down in the valley! 25 acres of gated property is heaven to our boys. They are able to ride their quads around and I don't have to worry about them getting lost! The weather is perfect; 70-80's during the day and by late afternoons the monsoons come in and we eat our dinner on the full size wrap around porch that overlooks an acre of luscious green grass and nauni's flower garden by the creek. I love to lounge in the yard under one of the pine trees drinking fresh lemon-aide and home made cookies by Ryan's dad and reading a good book or gossip magazine while the kids play. Amazing I tell ya!

Hi Jodi,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I haven't kept up on the blogging or comments lately. I don't have a website, just a blog. Here's my email if you ever need to order a cake or cookies!
