Barb Farner has traveled to South Africa, Madagascar, Nepal, and Bhutan during the past year. If you are like me and never heard of Bhutan, it is a small landlocked country in South Asia located at the Eastern end of the Himalayas. China is to the north, and the rest of the country is surrounded by India.

She goes on some shorter trips too--one being the quilt show in Paducah, KY in April each year. She has developed interests in quilting and genealogy since retirement.

Barb's mother passed away in June at the age of 94. She also shared with us that a nephew and his wife who got married a year or so ago welcomed a baby girl in March. That was the first baby born into their family in 32 years! Think she might get a little spoiled??
