Well, our farm here hasn't sold for sure yet, so things are still a little
up in the air. (any more good energy/charma/prayers to send our way on the
rest of this saga? Will be nice when it is all over.)
But we do feel like good things are happening, so we will keep doing our
best.
Will post that cute little lamb when I have a free moment. (Mother's 60th
birthday celebration is today...)
