We are home safe and sound after a marvelous weekend. My husband and I met two of the kindest, most generous people on this planet. Sandy Sandy and her husband welcomed us into their beautiful home and treated us royally....great food, beautiful surroundings including wild turkeys, hundreds of hummingbirds, whimsical handcrafted artwork and spirit-filled paintings. They gave us a tour of their workshop and studio, horse barn, the nearby Pine Barrens and miles of cranberry bogs. We were gifted with fresh-picked Jersey white corn, tomatoes, a Christmas cactus, art, both painted and metalwork, and wonderful home-made blueberry waffles for Sunday breakfast.
Oh, and there were kittens as well. (click on any photo for a closer look)

An amazing weekend! Fun and sweet. We came home with two adorable kittens! There has been a little change in who we brought home. You will have to visit my other blog,
Purrrrsnickitty to read about that.
Please visit Sandy's blog to see her art and read more about her journey through a spirited life and how she and her husband live with horses, cats, wild turkey, deer, raccoons, woodchucks and all manner of things of the natural world.

Oh My Dear Robin, where do I begin? You are just way too magnanimous for words. I am humbled by all your benevolence, love and generosity. Your visit was totally awesome, from beginning to end. The only thing wrong with it was it was just way too short! Next time you and your sweet hubby must stay longer! I miss you and your beautiful babies. I am so glad I will be able to stay connected here through your blogs and emails though! Thanks again for everything. Love to you all, Sandy
