She calls them her friends..

The Boer goat was developed in South Africa.
They have long pendulous ears and a "Roman" nose.
"Boer" is a Dutch word meaning farmer.
The major portion of the Boer's body is white with dark coloration
around the head. Their horns curve backwards.
They are gentle, strong and vigorous.

Boers breed year round.
Jamie loves her goats...

Unbelievable Peace in a Proud moment

While my friends [ you know who you are] were out getting their BELLY BUTTONS pierced I went out to the VA cemetery,
I go often, it's so close 10 minutes away and just so damn beautiful.
They had a few services in progress.
The gun salutes were echoing across the
lakes and fields...a proud moment for their familys.
I am a Air Force brat so maybe that accounts for some of the attraction.
My parents will be here someday...

Besides you could hang a 10 karet diamond off this button of mine
and it would still be ...well whatever!
and:
Whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends please remember that there are, literally, thousands of sailors and troops far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked.

Signs of Spring

It's so noisey around here..
the geese are back.
Pairing off, making nest
and "Screaming " If your happy honk your horn!"
Can't wait for all the babies...

The Hands of Time ...

Love's gift cannot be given,
it waits openly to be accepted.


I couldn't guess how
many times I have seen them
hold or touch hands... but it
is always a beautiful moment
for me with my parents.

Their love and friendship is our
family pillars. xx00xx
