A Special Trip - Thanks to a Special Friend

By
Real Estate Agent with Casmi Photography

My dear friend Elizabeth Nieves had written a while back about a beautiful place from her childhood - Quail Roost Farm

Elizabeth related a story about what a grand place it was and how beautiful it appeared to her as a child.

Well, being one to pay attention at times, I decided that I had to see this piece of heaven for myself.  So today, being a beautiful sunny day, I hopped in the truck and journeyed the 38 miles to Quail Roost Farm. 

I have to tell you ... Elizabeth was not kidding when she said it was a beautiful place. 

I was, literally, speechless while walking the grounds and poking around in the barns.  There was a majestic peace that had me totally relaxed.  So much so that I didn't want to leave, even though the sun was getting lower in the sky.  I do believe I would have stayed there forever.

So, in thanks to my dear friend, I am sharing some photos that I took while enjoying the peacefulness known as Quail Roost Farm.  (Not to mention I'm using the slideshow program she recommended!)

I do hope you'll enjoy the show.  I can't wait to go back out there.  I'm sure you'll understand why ...

Carol, first off you play one of my favorite songs with Horse with No Name. Then I get to see all the beautiful horses. Wow, great slide show.

What a great idea, to make your trip into a slide show!  I lived in Raleigh for six years, 1981 to 1987, and haven't been back since.  Getting back there again is on my list of things to do....

Gary - I was torn between that and Wildfire.  I like them both.  Glad you enjoyed the show!

Janna - Next time you're this way you'll have to look us up!  All there is to it!

Eli - God put heaven on earth with this place.  Maybe we will play hooky one day this spring and go back out there together.  Sound like a plan?  Love ya kiddo!
