A Time For Transitions ~

I feel so sad about this next bit ... remember his prized goat Charlie ~ well - someone stole him about a year ago - that broke both our hearts. Charlie was his pet ... really a special Rammy Goat.

So - he replaced Charlie with a next prized Ram Goat ~ see Joshua below:



This Rammy had some wonderful unique qualities ~ made him very special in many ways as well ... very much a part of our Yard.

Well - a couple days after I returned to Minneapolis, Bim called with the sad news that there was a sudden death in the family ... a young woman - completely unexpected.

So - in usual fashion everyone in the family pulls together ... and it just made sense for him to offer up Joshua to the big cook pot.

We had the wonderful good fortune to have a weekend booked on the North Coast at Jamaica Jewel ~ we planned to spend my birthday weekend with Cher and Barry G as our gracious hosts. I had chatted with Cher for a few years so it was such great fun to be able to take things to the next level ... We fit in with them and made such great new lifetime friends! Spent time on their unspoiled beach, visited Leroy's Bar, went to an awesome Friday night party up in the country town of Clarkstown ~ Dance Dance Dance ~
