It has been absolutely wonderful to have you with us…even though the time was short, it was truly special. Please come again when we have more time…so much to see and do. Adventures await! Much love ~ Sharon & Buzz


Sharon has been my friend from long time ago, when we lived in Mississippi and belonged to weavers and spinners guild in Pass Christian, MS. We always gathered for Christmas potlock, when we shared our best dishes and exchanged the mostly handspun and handwoven gifts. This delicacy I remembered her by. Sharon served it again this year (especially for me) when I visited her and Buzz in their beautiful Victorian home in Jacksonville, Florida. Julia
