Need a Christmas gift idea?
How about two free, ADORABLE KITTENS that are very friendly and love to cuddle {they are kind of inseparable so would prefer to keep them together if possible}!!

My mom has them at the vet now being ‘fixed’ so no need to worry about that!

Let me know if you {or} anyone you know would love to bring home some little friends for Christmas!

Saying 'I do' at historic barns, and helping preserve them

Great article in the Pioneer Press yesterday!!

http://www.twincities.com/News/ci_25881057/Saying-I-do-at-historic-barns

Heidi Erickson said "I do." And if the nearby barns could talk, they might have said, "Thank you!"
