A Mother-Daughter Reunion in Missouri

Lynn, Susan and I had the opportunity to get together at Susan's new house when Lynn drove down to Missouri with her dog Phoebe to compete in Agility Trials at Purina Farms, which is very close to where Susan lives. I flew out to join them, and although we were VERY COLD while out watching the competition, we had a delightful time. Enjoyed the new house, acreage, and horses, as well as seeing Heather and Chris, my grandchildren.
