Hello - Remember me?

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth or died or anything as tragic as that! One of the main reasons I haven't been blogging is that I haven't been able to get on Blogger.com for the last several months. The Internet Gods have not been kind and refused to allow me admission:-( So whatever I did wrong, I obviously have been "forgiven" as here I am once again!!

So what has happened in my life since I last posted. If you will remember, I began a new phase of my life . . . one that I dreaded - emptynester. Much to my amazement - I survived. There is a life after the son flies the coop!! Life hasn't been all that different except I don't visit the Cereal Aisle in the grocery store as much as I used to. And my choice of friends have changed. I have a new bunch of best friends, all of whom I have never met, but we have a common bond - we are all Navy Moms and we understand each other like no one else does!

Kidding season FINALLY came and went. Good year this year!! All the goats waited until I came back from Chicago (where I went to see my son graduate from Boot Camp). I did sell off some of my adult goats and babies to make the herd more manageable. Since I lost my "farm hand" to the Navy, I have to do all the work myself and I am no longer a Spring chicken (or a Summer chicken for that matter!!). So it seemed best, to reduce the herd. I did keep 3 of the baby goats.

So here we are again, Farmer's Market season has begun and life continues as it always has. Though, I do still cry every once in a while when I pass that empty bedroom, I guess that will never change.
