Spring is on its way. The older I get, the more I do not care for cold weather. I really do love how the seasons change in northeast Georgia, especially fall. However, I do not like freezing rain or snow unless it is Christmas day. We just had snow in some of our area this past weekend and my kids begged us to go find more. We hopped in our car, and headed north. My daughter Jessica took some great photos of our area. She is very talented and has a great eye for taking photos. She is extremely creative, and a wonderful artist. It is funny how all my children have different talents. Justin is the sweetest, kindest young man you could ever find. I have people all the time tell me he is absolutely awesome, and they just love him to death. Johnnie is extremely smart, and finishing his third year of college. He is taking mechanical engineering, and some of the stuff he is taking looks like Greek to me. God certainly makes us all different, and gives us all our own special gifts. I guess if I have a special gift it would be talking to people. My kids ask me all the time after talking with someone in a store, “Do you know them” I usually say no. I love people, and getting to know them. Yes, I guess that is part of selling advertising, but it is more than that for me. Most of my closest friends, started out as an advertisers. They really love me, and were very worried about my health issues. I want to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to them. I am feeling better. I still have more tests to run, but my medication is helping now. I also want to thank those readers who emailed and called to check on me. I didn’t realize I had so many friends that I have never even met. God is so amazing. He puts the people we need here on earth to help one another through trying times. As the Bible says, we are aliens to this earth, but one day all our Christian brothers and sisters will meet again in heaven. Have a wonderful March, and God bless you and your family.

LL Farm Events Michelle and David Gibbs opened LL Farm Events in October 2012. This unusual wedding and event venue is the perfect place to host your next special occasion. The rustic refurbished barn can hold over 600 people. We sat down to speak to Michelle about how the barn went from one idea to another. HTN Magazine: What made you decide to refurbish an old barn Michelle: We bought an old farm a few years ago. My husband, being a contractor, decided that he and his crew could take the old barn on the property and renovate it into something unique. We first thought it would make a great place to hold horse shows and other horse events. After friends began to look at the progress, they said what a perfect place for a wedding. HTN Magazine: What sets your business apart from other businesses in the area Michelle: It is a barn, but it actually looks like an old western town inside. There is a saloon and hotel with rocking chairs on the front porch. It is over 40,000 square feet, and we even have a 5,000 square feet dance floor with old fashion string lights above. There are two huge fireplaces and an old 41 Ford pick-up truck for ambience. There is also a place upstairs with 2 bedrooms where the bridal party can stay. It has a fully equipped kitchen and bar to enjoy h’orderves before the big event. It also has two full bathrooms where everyone can get ready. HTN Magazine: What type of services are you offering the area Michelle: We offer a custom unique venue designed for all events. We have the perfect setting for a wedding fit for a princess. Approved caterers have a perfect place in front of the hotel and saloon to set up the perfect reception and food area. HTN Magazine: How much planning, renovation, work was involved in opening your new business Michelle: We worked for almost 2 years renovating the historic old barn. Every piece of wood is refurbished and hand cut. We wanted to keep the primitive authentic look of the old barn. HTN Magazine: Tell us about your family, hobbies, and interests outside of the business. Michelle: We have four horses and a mini donkey. They can even be brought over to have photos taken with the bride and groom. We love animals, and the farm life. We have another building and flooring business. Between the events and the contracting, we keep busy. HTN Magazine: Is there anything else you think would be interesting to our read- www.hometownneighbors.com ers about your new venture Michelle: Our daughter Tiffany was the first one to use the facility for her own wedding. We had to work feverishly to get it ready for the big day on October 27th, 2012. We would like to have the venue used for music videos, and other filming in the area in the near future. We are conveniently located between Cleveland and Gainesville. We want to work with our bridal parties to ensure that their day is the most perfect and memorable day of their lives.
