When we woke up Sunday morning to a lonely house, with
all our kids back home, we had a plan up our sleeve to ease us
back in to regular life...Road trip!
I read about this company on face book and they
were holding a barn sale.
Off we went to Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

I knew it was gonna be great, but this sign was the clincher.

What is it about a barn that makes me weak in the knees?

That garland, awesome!
Everyone was so nice and friendly, from the children that greeted us,

one of the boys was telling me a story about the dog catching a mouse,
or maybe, he said, it was a rat...
Just then his Mom came up, maybe she was afraid he was talking too much,
