A good friend and I reconnected a couple of weeks ago.  When our kids were young, her and her family moved down south and we kinda lost touch.  A couple of weeks ago she sent me an email at work and we were able to catch up during my last trip to see Amie & Matthew.  She came up this weekend and hadn’t seen my new/old house yet.  Well what a surprise it was when she opened the back of her jeep and said “I brought a housewarming gift for you.”  Oh my word, I was cracking up, he’s huge!!  I’d noticed him on my way out of “The Barn” a few weeks back, when her and I were shopping, but decided I should wait and just stick with the cute farm sign I bought.  I decided to name him “Schroeder” because it’s her last name and it just seemed to fit him.  I love Schroeder!  He is just perfect!  Thank you Tammy!!
