Forever Weekend Farm: Catching Up Continues--Pictures mostly from Christmas 2017 and 2018

Memory Lane
Please excuse this construction mess! If you look over my blog titles, I have officially come back to blog, starting New Year's Day 2019, but of course I have thousands of pictures and memories from previous years that I want to document for family history. The only way I have come up with is to add pictures as attachments and explain them as they pop up.

Bear with me as I jump around and down Memory Lane.

Christmas 2017 in Ft. Pierce-
always warm enough to garden!

I drag out Christmas as long as possible-
don't care how many needles fall off the tree.
Christmas 2017

Our little Willie dog had to have his eye removed--(he had an abusive history before he arrived at Forever Weekend)
These cookies were a nice surprise for the vet's hospital's
extremely wonderful staff - celebration of a successful surgery!

My sweet girl was not feeling good
so she napped in her farm bunk bed with her unicorn.

Oh that smile, Tohi!

Tohi took home her fairies
from Christmas 2017 and they seem
quite happy in the foliage of their island!

They happily enjoyed an island tea party!

Fun game on the deck, thank you

The doll house was a huge hit 2017!

Holiday 2017--Thank you, Greg, for capturing this moment
before our Panamanians left after their holiday vacation!
I was fighting back tears and had to concentrate on all the fun we had to keep smiling!
