Our Bestest Baker Comes to Visit

  If you are here from our previous blog, the 4 little Fergusons, you know we have a dear dear blog friend named Mrs. Marsha Baker.  Her blog is the Better Baker! 

Clever, right?!  

  We became great friends and she decided she wanted to come meet us, so in 2012, that is precisely what she did. 

  We had a grand ol time! The kids were super little and just fell in love with her.

 This time around, she was coming to our new apartment house and would be SURPRISING THE KIDS!  Mom got a video of the whole thing.  We went over on the premise of going out to dinner with Nana, who had already gone to get Mrs B from the airport hours ago! :)

  We enjoyed our time so much!  Meals on the porch, school reports, ice cream to celebrate...everything is more fun with a guest around to hang out with.

  We taught Miss B one of our favorite games called Hearts.  I grew up playing it at the cabin with my grandparents! :)

   We went and had lunch at Dale's momma's delicious restaurant!  I didn't realize we had gone last trip, 6 years ago, until I saw this old photo on the blog.  We should've had Eileen come out to recreate this picture!!

  There are super cute shops downtown and Miss B had her heart set on going to a darling kitchen store!  Avery, our little baker, was more than thrilled to check out the merchandise.   
  I found some treasures at a local "pikin" store.....old antiques and unique treasures.

    When we got home, sweet Miss B, brought out a gift for each of the kids.  What a fun treat! 

  Did you know our miss Marsha is quite the sassy one?  ;)  She has always wanted purple hair, so guess what?  We busted out some temporary color and dyed hair on the porch while the other kids were at church with daddy.

  The next day we packed up to head 2 hours out of town for a class and to drop Miss B at her next location of another blog friend, Miss Mary Lou.  We had to get some photos just like last time, with all 4 Fergusons!

  LOOK at those sweet little faces! OH MY WORD!

  And we were off......Bar U Ranch here we come!

  We pulled up to the most BEAUTIFUL home!  Come to find out, it was a Sears & Robuck Catalog home.  Ordered and shipped on the train back in the olden days!  WOW.

  It was such a joy to meet Mary Lou & later, Burt and see their LOVELY ranch!

  The house was just stunning, I wish I had gotten more photos!  I was busy setting up for our class.  :)  We had such a fun time and great turn out.  

  After class, Mary Lou offered to feed us at their giant ranch table with a huge turn table in the middle. It was GORGEOUS!

  While she prepped food, Mr Burt took us alllll around their property.   They have acre after acre of rolling hills, streams, swimming holes, and all the cute baby cows you would ever want to see!  

  It was simply breathtaking, and the meal Mary Lou fixed was divine!  We cannot wait to go hang out with these amazing folks again.  I love this part of our job that never feels like one!
​
  The Lord brings the NEATEST people into our lives.....

  We knew we were leaving Miss B in good hands, and they would have a grand time in the coming days!  A HUGE storm with tornadic winds and hail was coming to we booked it out of there quickly!

  Until next time friends, blessings and hugs! Thanks for an amazing time!

 And to our BESTEST Baker, thanks for being a part of our hearts and family.....

​Hugs, T
