Dumb Old Goats
This is gonna be a short post. At least I think it’ll be a short post. I can never really tell when I start writing one – but I have a ton of stuff I have to get done before my dad gets here tomorrow, so I’m speculatin’ I should keep things brief. But first things first. The five winners to the Heart of the Matter homeschool conference are: 1 Jaynee 2 Julie 3 Angie 4 Tami 5 Melissa Ryann picked all the winners. Thanks for playing, and congrats to the winners, you’ll have a good time at the convention. Speaking of conventions, Coie and I have our last convention next week. We leave weds to drive up to OH. I sure hope things end on a great note. It has been really marvelous traveling around and working at the Rosetta Stone booth. I’m also looking forward to seeing some neat friends in OH. We’re bringing Emmiko and Bo with us, so that will be a real treat. Lastly, if anybody is looking to buy a house in the Bristol area (Abingdon), there is a great home that has just become available for sale, or possibly rent. It’s beautiful and a great place for a little hobby farm. Let me know if you are interested in and I’ll pass you along to the sellers. And lastly last, I haven’t seen it yet, but Laurie Bluedorn and her son, Hans, did some interviews at the ICHE convention and Coie is in one of them. Here is the link. We’ll watch it when we get to the hotel and have fast internet. Angela, from Godly Girls is also in it, i think. And truly last, I am so MAD. Furious, really. Coie bought me the most beautiful plant. I think it was an azalea or something. I don’t know, it was big and round and green. And she also built me the most beautiful planting box I’ve ever seen. And then she planted that big old green bushy plant inside of it along with four vine –y type of plants and the dumb old goats got out of their pen and ATE THE WHOLE THING. |

Yippee!! Yippee!! Praise the Lord!:) Please tell Ryann that I am super!!! excited that she drew my name for the Heart of the Matter Homeschool conference!! What an unexpected blessing!
Goats….. hmm… there was a song at camp that we used to sing… ” I just want to be a sheep….baaaa…, repeat….. then “I don’t want to be a goat, NOPE…””” It’s talking about judgement and being a sheep or a goat…… BUT, all spiritual connotations aside….. that must be one happy Ig goat, unfortunately for you!:( BUMMER!!:(
Have a GREAT DAY!!
Love you!

Yippee!!! I’m so very excited to be one of the winners! I really, really wanted to be able to attend this! Thank you, Jen, SO much for the giveaway! I’m very excited and thankful! This is a total blessing to me.
Those darn ol’ goats. I’m so sorry that happened! I know how you feel, though. We use to have an open range out here and no fence so the cows would come and eat all my pretties. Very, very upsetting!!!
Thank you again, Jen!! Take care and have a great, fantastic and fun time with your Dad!!
God bless you ~ Julie

Thank you for this unexpected blessing! I am so excited!
And thank you for the reminder of what goats can do. 🙂 We currently do not have any goats. We sold the last herd in the fall.

Yeah…..We have a saying around here that goes something like this: “It’s not IF the goats get out, it’s WHEN the goats get out”….Making the cheese was as easy as falling off a log –
Hope your time with your Dad is filled with blessing.
