Dry Creek, LA


2/23 - 2/26/2009	Dry Creek, LA Plug Nickel Farm
Last year on our way east to Pensacola, FL, we visited with Danette & Dwayne Boyd at their home in Lake Charles, LA. About that time they had purchased a hay farm, the Plug Nickel Farm in Dry Creek, LA, about 50 miles north of Lake Charles. Again this year on our way east, we visited Danette and Dwayne. But this time we got to stay at the farm. What a treat!

	The main house. Danette has done a terrific job taking an interior stuck in the 70's to a beautiful updated living space. Construction continues. Lots of workers around while we were there.

	Mark is aligning the satellite Internet dish. It took a little while. This was the first time in 4 months that he had to set it up, as we had cable modem while in Retama Village.
