Afghan Project
I am pleased to announce that HMI will be introducing a new tapestry afghan at Dinner Under the Cedars. There are nine design elements so it's been quite an ordeal to get the details just right but we are finally close to a final approval. This coverlet will be made with 20 colors which will provide tapestry detail to our design. Included in the design are stuctures owned and maintained by HMI along with a few other items. I can't WAIT for you to see it! Start saving your money now because you are going to want one for yourself.

Cowabunga Dude!
This photo does not do this cool cow justice. Meet www.e.cow our final installment in the HMI herd. The e-cow represents the "no-bull" nature of the Internet and what it has done to our lives. She is surfing the net on a vintage eleven foot Dextra surfboard. Cowabunga Dude!

Bell Stand Project at FRH
HMI has a Florence Family bell that has made it's way back home. It has turned into quite a project to get this bell hanging again but, work continues. An architect donated his time to draw the bell stand. An engineer attached his stamp of approval. Another company has been involved building the six foot stand. Last week, this concrete pad was poured and now, we can begin the process of putting the pieces into place. One day, visitors to the Florence Ranch Homestead will be able to ring the old bell again. Come back later for an update on this project.
Many Moo.......

Cool Down!
More Mooooooo.........
This pretty lil cow is named Mother Moose and was created to honor all the children in the world and their joy in learning and reciting finger plays and rhymes. Mother Moose is currently corraled with her sister Moo-ty Fruity and is hoping for a new home come fall. You can learn more about Cow Parade online. The HMI cows are originally from Houston.
