One of the greatest benefits of traveling is meeting extraordinary people. Bob and Suzanne are two of the most interesting. They built this house:
from scratch, by hand. Huge post and beam construction elements leave a spacious, beautiful wood interior, although Suzanne did say if she had to do it over, it would be bigger.Bob's resume is a real conversation starter. He's been a carpenter, principle, college professor, funeral director and more.
Suzanne still teaches German and language at a community college. She and Bob also raise "Brie," "Jake," and "Bodie," full blooded Bullmastiffs.
Here is a picture of Brie:
We spent the afternoon, following a fantastic lunch, hearing wonderful stories about jobs, genealogies, and Suzanne's adventures in Euroland when she picked up Brie. Here is a picture of Bob, Jenn and Carlene:
We made plans to visit again while we're here and have more genealogy stuff.
The long drive through the country on the way home was beautiful and very peaceful.
Hello, Carlene here. Yes it was a wonderful day, with a fantastic lunch and dessert. Robert and Suzanne's homestead is so peaceful and remote. Love the BullMastiffs, beautiful creatures! Loved being there with Jenny and Roy and of course Roscoe (TWD). Conversation was lively and I learned things about my family --I had no idea. Looking forward to returning a couple of times before we leave the East Coast. Thank you for a wonderful Day!
