May 28 to June 1st - Jeff, Di, Cole & Sarah Visit

A Miracle has happened. My brother Jeff, his wife, Di and son, Cole and daughter Sarah come to visit. First time ever. We are thrilled. We make pizza, bread, go to the Biltmore House, Grove Park Inn and Vance's Birthplace. It was one of the best times of my life.

April 14th. . . a long time has passed, much has happened

We have been very busy since the last post in January. We bought 25 chicks, Americaunas, cuckoo marans, columbian wyandottes, blue red-laced wyandottes, red caps, and one mystery chicken and they arrived April 14th.

December 26th - Merry Christmas!

Well, I am a day late but the good wishes are still valid! We had a great Christmas. Paul and Elaine, Mimi and Cody shared a big roast beef with John and me. I got a big red KitchenAid mixer that I just love. Thinking about making bread or pizza dough today.

We are expecting our dear friends John and Gloria today. That will be nice. The goats are doing well. The chickens are laying 5 or so eggs a day.

Here's a photo of Bebop eating her Christmas hay. She's 9 months old now.

December 20, 2007

Just a little update. We had Samba bred to Brankton Payton Manning on November 13th, 2007. So far it looks like she is bred so the babies (baby) should be here around April 10th, 2008.

We made Goat Milk soap for Christmas presents this Christmas. The milk is from Samba, Jitterbug and Bebop's mothers, Jazz and Dance. It turned out very nicely and we designed packaging for it and I am quite pleased (see photo below).

November 9 & 10th - Goat Barn has new sliding doors
