• Hello Again

  I'll hopefully be back to blogging now that I have internet at my farm via the Droid phone. Funny thing about this phone, being that I live in the boonies...(seriously, we have a post office, a mom & pop gas station and a really creepy looking motor vehicle trader and that's it.) my phone cannot figure out where my location is to give me weather and time. I'm good just about everywhere else, but when I'm home, it can't find me. The interesting thing is, a lot like my GPS, which is a whole nuther story, instead of saying "Location Unknown" it gives me random world locations. It's had me in Nice, France; Las Vegas, NV; West Ferriday, LA; Statesville, NC and Bloomingdale, IL. I figure it's a great new way of doing Random Geography lessons...where are we today kids?. So, expect periodic updates from places I am not, nor probably ever been, but my phone thinks I am. I wonder if your phone could benefit from psychiatric help?

  Anyway, updates quickly are:

  Farm is well, though we took some hits on chickens in the heat wave. We now have 2 bucklings and a doeling from the spring births of our dairy goats. We've been enjoying drinking our own goat milk. We did really well considering our heavy tree lot when the hurricane blew by recently. We just realized where we have to put in drainage.

  The girls entered chickens and their baby goats in the fair with 4-H and did really well. They have the awards banquet coming up this week. We go to Kings Dominion theme park with family and friends this weekend.

  Lizzy turns 15 at the end of this month, boy has time flown. She sure is growing up. Beautiful and hardworking, just like her dad.

  Other girls are well. Hoppy turned 9 in July and is really doing well. She's a bit of a perfectionist (a lot like her daddy too).

  Elena is growing like a weed. She wears her daddy's CRT ball cap like a uniform and is Steelers mad....he'd be so proud!

  I'm doing well. Got another vicious ear infection which I couldn't have more than Tylenol for since I'm allergic to things with codine (including evil vicodin). On top of that had a wisdom tooth come in and crack and create an abscess so had to have surgery on that at the same time. Thankfully, they put me out for that. Just have to go back to the dentist to do all the other work I've put off for close to 12 years or more. Hooray.

  God is so good though, everyday is a testimony to His goodness and grace to the widow and orphan.

  That's all you get for now, have to go run fencing for the goats.

  Because He lives and reigns!
