Lonnie and I drove to California to meet her new cousin, Rachel. My sister and brother-in-law just adopted Rachel from India! (see http:bringingrachelhome.blogspot.com/ )
We had a great visit and the girls hit it off immediately. Lonnie is usually shy meeting new kids, but these two had an immediate connection. Chronologically they are about 7 years apart in age, but it made no difference to them. They were doing everything together the whole time we were there. 
Lonnie even helped gather eggs from the chickens! The last time she saw chickens, she would not get within 20 feet of them, much less gather the eggs. But when Rachel went in the enclosure, she just trooped right in with her. What an experience for all of us! I hope we can see them again soon.
