All of our puppies ....

 .... have gone home. 

 It was a really fun 9 weeks, and now, their families get to have fun with them.

Here is a video from Gabe and Maryah who ... because they are crazy .... took home TWO of our pups. Look how good they are doing! 

Carla

My friend Carla came into town with her five kids to pick up their TWO puppies. Carls and I were good friends in the Azores as we lived around the corner from each other. This is only the second time I have seen her since we parted ways in 2014! 

Here is a pic of her two pups: 

Processing chickens 2026

Another year. Another day of chicken processing. We did about 90 birds — a small batch. Ended up with an 8 pounder which has never happened before. We also had an average weight of 6.15 pounds. This was a very small amount of birds so we didn’t need that many people. 

The Kodets joined us with their two youngest kids as they wanted to learn how to process and maybe do their own birds in the fall.  Anni’s dad, George came (Anni hurt her back) and Julia came too. Gramps and Grama were there too. Everything went great! Oh and Jacob was there too of course!

Here are two videos of the day:

Fairhaven

This past weekend, Aunt Jan and I took Hannah and cousin Genevieve to an amazing spot nestled in the woods: FAIRHAVEN MINISTRIES. What a peaceful place!!!

 

This was Hannah's Christmas present. I was so glad we were able to make it happen!
