Friend and Mentor Left Today
In one’s lifetime, people come and go. A lot are acquaintances, but a few become real friends.
Our mentors in homesteading headed for Colorado today to start a New Chapter in their Book of Life. Dixie and Tom Eves.
Dixie and Tom pictured above with Mom and Bev, stopped by to get some goodies to munch on during the 10-13 hour trip.
Dixie helped us with the sheep and horses. She was always there for even the stupidest questions, or injuries to an animal no matter how minor. If Dixie needed our help, we were right there in a flash, to lend a hand, no matter how inexperienced that hand may have been.
Mom will miss the answers to questions about flowers, garden plants, and other “outdoorsy” type questions. She will also miss Tom enjoying her potato salad during the cookouts.
I have mentioned Dixie in more than one post. She was so much fun to be around and talk to. Her and Tom were a necessary addition to our cookouts.
They are going to be sorely missed and will be in our thoughts and memories as true friends. In our New Chapter of our own Book of Life, they will have a chapter dedicated to them.
Tom, Dixie, enjoy your new adventure, and don’t worry about Dakota, we will take good care of her and make you proud.
Cindy
