A day on the farm

Friday July 20

I had a lady to reach out to me the other day when my son left. She knew what I was going through and even though her heart was breaking just like mine she put her feelings aside and reached her hand out toward me. Her son left for the military the same day mine did. I honestly believe the Lord brought us together. He sent her to me so I would have someone to talk to and know the same feelings that I was having. After we chatted, through email, she is only 2 hours away from my son and was kind enough to tell that that if he needed anything to contact her. What a precious friend. Her son is in South Carolina and is in the same force as Jon Brandon. They are not on the same base but it just makes me feel better that they are in the same force. I trully believe that these two young men will meet face to face and develop a friendship.

Our goat showing season starts tomorrow and I haven't done anything to prepare for it. I have 7 goats that has to be clipped and trimmed for the show. So, that means my day today will be clipping and trimming. I know that there will be 60 goats in the show. I just hope that some of mine will be in different weight classes.

My garden is slowing down some now and in places are drying up even with the rain that we have had.

hey there

I am so glad that you were able to have someone going through the very same thing to be able to talk to..that really helps. So glad that she was willing to talk with you and you can both support each other.
That's great.
