It probably appears that we are friendless but that's not the case!  We've been meeting lots and lots of terrific folks but failed to update this blog!   Haven't given up on the concept though - want to keep making friends every day!   Come be our friend!

Each day at "The Barn" (aka Red Barn General Store), we meet so many wonderful people.  We've made friends from across the country while tending shop in Waynesville.   We look forward to seeing our 'regular' customers and enjoy them so much.  I recently heard a show on NPR where the speaker tried to make a new friend each day and wrote an article about each new friend.  It made me realize how many wonderful people we have met through the shop.  So I decided we should try to share a little about our special friends.  We'll start updating new friends as they arrive but I can think of 3 special sets of customers to share now.
