Updates and Awards!!

Hello all!!!!

I'm back in blogging land now! :)

Thank you all so much for the sweet and thoughtful comments you left me!!

I was really blessed by them!

We are all doing a little better now that the funeral is behind us. But it is still hard sometimes and I think it will be for awhile.

Anyway, we are just working on getting back to normal life now. :)

I thought I'd give you a little update on Eddie also.

(if you haven't read about him go to the Farm link on the dashboard)

It looks like we are going to have to get rid of him soon. :(

He has to go because we don't have any hay to feed him right now. Our goats have been turned out to eat grass but he is too big to turn loose and he also keeps running away!

So, today the man from the sheriff's department is coming to get him.

I'm a little sad about it, but he isn't turning out to be as sweet as I thought. :)

Well, while I was away I got awarded several times:

#1 The Best of Friends Award:
