A Goat in the Car

Alex and Abigail are doing Goat 4H this summer and their demonstrations were this morning. I really didn't want to drive a big trailer down there for one animal and I had to get everyone up, fed, dressed, practiced, ready and at the fair building by 9 am. So here is the goat all loaded in the car...you know it's just another member of our family now (or so it appears) people take their dogs with them all the time, is a goat different? Ha ha ha

A wonderful daughter and family

I have a wonderful daughter. Brittany did a wonderful job of making my birthday special this year. She had been planning this cake for quite some time and did a fantastic job. This is her first decorated cake. It's a recreation of Van Gogh's painting "Sunflowers"
I got three cookie jars for my soon to be new kitchen. I love this barn, I got "the old woman who lived in a shoe" and smokey the bear also. I will definitely fill them with yummy healthy cookies.
The children wanted to make us a restaurant dinner so they set up a table in our front entry; covered the entrance with a large sheet making it a private room, covered all the windows with dark sheets so we could eat by candlelight, set the table with the china, picked fresh roses from our wild rose bush and had us wear nice clothes.
They came in constantly filling our water and drink cups, making sure we didn't want for a thing, check out the details in the place setting...wow is all I could say, I was blown away.
Thank you family for all of it, you are something special and that is exactly how this day was!
