We have had some really special times at the Home the last while.  Some great families have come in and it is surprising the ties that we can make.  One that was special was a couple that had served at the Johnson Home just prior to the restoration and so they could tell us a lot about the home, the condition it was in and some of the things that were done to restore it.  He wanted to share and we loved hearing all about it. 
The leaves are starting to turn and it is amazing the difference a few days will make.  This is one of the trees at the Johnson Home.

We had Lynn and Calleen come for a visit and we loved the company.  It was soo  good to have them here and hopefully we didn't bore them with having to show and tell them everything.  We did all of the Historic Kirtland things and some Amish.  Almost lost Calleen in the End of the Commons Store.  It was truly a fun time.  Thanks you two for the visit. 

 

 

As we were driving around today we found this interesting creature.  You would think that Halloween is coming soon.  He is BIG! and a bit scary..

 

 

They have a great walking trail here in Garrettsville.  It is an old railroad bed and goes

for miles.  Well groomed, shady most of the way and a great walk.
