My mom's very best friend growing up is Terri. Now I have known her my entire life even though I do not know her. I was very excited that Brad and I were able to make a stop to see them. We arrived at their house pretty late and ended up keeping Link up even later while Terri was jammin' out at a Diana Ross concert. It was so nice to meet them and I can see why my Mom loves them so much. 
I was so surprised to discover that they have two pet turtles. Let me correct myself - they have two desert tortoises. We were really excited to find this out because we had really been looking forward to seeing a desert tortoise at Joshua Tree and did not see one. This was even better because not only were we able to see two, but we were able to interact with them. We could watch them play and even pick them up. Seeing as how I love Turt Turts I was captivated by them. They even kissed at one point. Really it was more like the female turtle was nibbling on the males head, but it was really cute all the same. We were both able to feed them fruit, veggies and roses. It was really cool to watch them eat flowers. They were pretty funny though because they would eat all the roses except 
for the red ones. We ate really well during our stay here to say the very least and were so comfortable. There were fresh cut roses in our bedroom. One of the best thing we did was hear stories about my mom from Terri and Link's perspective. We left with new friends, a car full of food and some great tips about wine country. Brad and I are so happy to have been given the chance to let the world come full circle allowing me to hang out with my moms best friend near where my mom grew up. Sunday morning Brad and I met Terri at her church where she served as an usher. Her church is a mega-church. It is huge but it was good to go to church 
with someone so close to family, it has been a while since we have done that. Brad was just excited because there were donuts at the church. We went back to their house to hang out for a bit longer and then to say goodbye. We are just pumped that now we know Terri and Link!!!
