Farmapalooza 2016


Welcome to the Farm!
It is such a wonderful place to go!
One of my favorite places in the whole world.
Thanks to Aunt Connie and
Uncle Bob who time and time
again welcome us all and so
generously share all they have and
work so hard to maintain!

Westcott Place Farm

My Grandma Dunnington passed away
 this past November....she didn't want to be
buried in the winter....she requested a
warm, sunny day with flowers in bloom.
Her wish came true...we got to have her
memorial service on a
BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY
day and place her ashes next to my
Grandpa who had been buried there
so many years before.  Her friends
and family gathered to celebrate her!
We reminisced about how much she
cared for others.  She was such a
COMFORTER and so good at
HOSPITALITY. She found JOY
in helping others!
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition
or vain conceit.  Rather, in humility
value others above yourselves, not
looking to your own interests but
each of you to the interest of others."
Philippians 2:3-4
"Cease endlessly striving for what you
would like to do and learn to love
what must be done." -Goethe
