When we bought our Rose 20 years ago, I didn't expect the home would come with the friendship of one of the most generous, caring, beautiful ladies I've ever known. Arlene Grein (Grein's Market) has brought so much encouragement and support to me from the very beginning of my journey in Biggs. Having owned our Rose (The Hastings House) for 10 years prior to our purchase, she's shared stories, history and items original to the home. I can look in every room and see Arlene reflected in a pitcher, photo or textile. Arlene's amazing family honored us by celebrating her 88th birthday in the garden yesterday. Incredible cakes made by her son, Guy, were served to family and friends. Happy 88th Arlene and thank you for being such a special friend. β€οΈπ
