Gotta love country living! We miss our place from 40 years ago when neighbors would stop in the mddle of the road and chat. There would be cars lined up behind them but no one honlked and when we moved on the next car would stop and chat. LOL All changed now with so many city people moved into the area in CA. We are back in the country here in TX but living on a highway so no neighbors stopping to chat in the middle of the road.
Baymule fed them all the first day. I just brought the essentials that she would need with 3 hungry boys. Since they came from the city I figured Holly wouldn't know how far she would have to drive for supplies so just got a few essentials to tide her over. I got bread and milk then after raising 5 kids and having 9 grandchildren, I reconsidered, went back and got an extra gallon and extra loaf of bread. LOL I was right - they didn't realize to bring a load of groceries with them. They will probably take some time to understand that they have to make a trip to town to do a HUGE shopping once a month and then a smaller shopping every couple weeks for milk and veggies. Our neighbors here have been good to us newcomers, so we like to pay it forward. We couldn't be there to help with the unloading so it was the best thing we could do. Baymule and her son worked all day Tuesday first trying to get them out of the ditch then taking the kids and wife to her home while they waited for the wrecker. Then they both worked all day on Wednesday unloading the truck and trailer. They were all exhausted after working all that time in the rain.
Had a great time visiting with Bay and Layne. He is such a kick! He kept us laughing the entire evening. We are so excited that Bay will have neighbors now. Three new families on her road and two of them military vets with small kids. So excited for her. Hoping a couple of them can learn to feed the sheep and dogs so she can visit us.
