Farmapalooza has become a family tradition.
Each year we meet up in Centerville, Indiana
at Westcott Place Farm where my Aunt Connie
and Uncle Bob live. It is the farm where my
mom and her siblings grew up---and where
my Grandma Rhodes grew up. There are
so many memories there and it is a really
special place. Aunt Connie and Uncle Bob
keep the farm looking so beautiful
and FULL of fun things to do.

Brandon and Kyle in the "egg on a spoon" race
"Back Home Again in Indiana,
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candle light, still shining bright,
Through the Sycamores for me.
The new-mown hay sends all its fragrance
Through the fields I used to roam.
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
Then I long for my Indiana home."
The dogs would run along all of the trails
with the golf carts and 4 wheelers....they would
run through the corn fields and then take a
dip in the little pond....
Sisters.... Mom and Aunt Connie...
in the morning sunlight they sing to the kiddos...
"good morning God, this is your day.
I am your child, show me your way"
The smile on Milla's face says it all....
she adores her big cousin KJ...she said
"Mommy-why do I love KJ so much?"
Fascinated Faith looking around and enjoying
the wind through her hair on the golf cart.
The front porch is a popular gathering
spot. We sat out there and enjoyed each other's
company as we watched a storm roll in.
Ragan's world famous Reese Cup Cupcakes
I love the girls my cousins chose for their
wifes...Staci and Ragan!!! So much Fun!
Grandma Rhodes and Milla....
Grandma lives in a condo that sits on the
outside edge of the farm--so, her back patio
overlooks the corn fields and the wind mill.

"Frank" (after Frank Sinatra...

Uncle Bob's nick name for
her is "Kitty Cat"...because
she quietly looks around and
watches his every move...
but ignored him for 3 straight
days!!
Aunt Connie makes sure there
are glimpses of God's glory all over the house!!
Pretty Flowers everywhere from the yard.
