Good bye 2009!

This certainly has been an interesting year for us. Of course, my health was the biggest issue, but we now know the problem and can deal with that. Obviously, our business took a beating from the economy, but we are still here. My breeding of the goats didn't go as planned, but 2 goats got breed giving us enough milk to carry on. My husband's health is good and he still has his job. Nathan got into Grant Technical School, enrolled in their Carpentry program and his grades are excellent! So all in all, it was a good year.

We did have a rough Christmas. My son, who is an avid quad/ATV rider, decided to go to an indoor quad/dirt bike trail in Maysville, KY Christmas Eve day. One of the dirt bike riders challenged him to see if he could clear 3 jumps. Fortunately, Bobby answered the phone when Nathan (our son) called. He had "good" news and some "bad" news. The good news is that he cleared the 3 jumps, the bad news is that the quad nosedived into the landing, snapping his left wrist. To me, the good news was that he wasn't more seriously injured. Christmas Eve evening was spent at 2 separate Emergency Rooms - Jewish Hospital and Children's Hospital. Then we had to search for a 24 hour pharmacy opened on Christmas Eve. Nathan is still sore and now sports a lime green cast that goes from his hand up to his shoulder. I am sure once the cast comes off, he will back on his quad.

We are not planning any major changes in 2010. We will continue to do the Anderson and Hyde Park farmer's market and am looking for a third market. I had planned on getting back into the Milford market, but the fees are too high. Tentatively, we might go back to the Mt. Washington market on Thursdays.

Our plans for a commercial kitchen with a cannery and baking license are on hold for the time being. But, we do plan on buying a small flock of meat chickens and turkeys.

Thank you all for your friendship and support. I wish you a safe and peaceful 2010. See ya'll!
