Home in the Country

On our last night in the Goshen area, we were invited to Lee & Loraine Borntrager's "Home in the Country". They have a beautiful place Southeast of Goshen, where they bought an old farm house and completely renovated it, built a barn, and dug a really great pond with an island.

The barn is particularly fascinating. The upper level is a basketball court. Yes, a regulation size basketball court, properly striped and marked, with a regulation lighted scoreboard, and a spectator balcony at each end of the court. This is indeed not your regular barn on the farm.

We enjoyed a fine dinner while Carole and Loraine talked about old times, kids, families, and antiques. After dinner, we had a tour of the barn and pond, then relaxed in their living room. Carole, Loraine, and Lee are shown relaxing below.



It was great to spend our last night in Goshen with enjoyable friends at their "Home in the Country".
