“This is the worst thing in the world that you can do to a teenager!!!!”, said the 17 year old grand daughter of one of our guests when she discovered that there was no cell phone reception at our house a couple of weeks ago. This week, we have 4 teenagers and a single […]

Of course, at our place you can really see sheep, cows and horses. You can check us out at www.HomeAway.com/184064 or on VRB).com/233794 or […]
So we cleaned today after guests left the Weston House. Every now and then we find something gross (usually compliments of the people) such as 3 days worth of dirty dishes, or poopy diapers (people with toddlers are the worst!).

Merry Christmas to all, and may all of your neighborhoods be as cool as ours!
The little town closest to us - Bladensburg is a wonderful little town this time of year. We have our own Christmas parade. We also put up Christmas decorations on all the light posts on the main roads in […]

Just wishing a happy 3rd birthday to one of my neighbors! We’re hoping the birthday party at the Weston House is a huge success for the family, and they find it comfy, cozy and a nice place to celebrate birthdays. The neighbor celebrating the birthday night not even notice, but that’s ok. […]

We had a great weekend - at both farms. Today (10/1) is Rach’s birthday - so this weekend we had a sleep over - 8 friends came over - which, besides being difficult to chauffer around, made our weekend very noisy - but fun.
