Mildred, Beth was added and this photo is one of my favorite.
Buttons, it is a good photo, isn't it?
Debbie, you're welcome, glad to be of help.
Marsha, God created them first.
Robyn, it takes a while. Usually, I spend 2 to 3 hours on each Sabbath Keeping post.
Lea, so did I.
Dewena, good advice!
Suziqu, I'm so sorry about Bessie; I hate losing any of my companion animals.

I absolutely loved this post just didn't get a chance to say so earlier!
Is Carly OK?
We just lost one of our beautiful and most loved Angora goat Bessie – it's always hard.
Have a wonderful week!
