Rain, rain go away

It's raining AGAIN......or should I say pouring AGAIN:) I'm at Emily's working on my cd and it's been raining for the past ummmm....almost hour and shows NO sign of stopping.

I've been wishing to get some more post on the blog but Gary has never had or used internet so....we have to come to Emily's for that.

Update on my CD: release date...approx. July 1st. Available at Melt the Heart (melttheheart.com). P.S. It is REALLY bad :)

Update on Berean Prison Ministries: We moved to Wayne Unsickers office. It's really nice and much better than Meister's shop.

Please pray for Kathy Obergfel who had two surgeries in two days recently. Her and her husband, Dave need these prayers. Thank you for that.

From November 2014

Goldie, Kenna, and Sue all had baby bulls (now steers) the weekend of November 1st and 2nd. Some pictures of them...

and...

From July 2014:

Here are some more pictures from the fair.

This is the 1st place winner from the dog show. (younger class)

Annette and Sherlock (2nd place winner from the upper class)

Muffin (tri-color Mini Rex junior doe) and I when the judge announced that we won 1st place in the Junior division.

I'm thinking this is the New Zealands. I'm also thinking the winner was the one in the green)

The Single Fryer class. Rodney Billerback was the winner. He is the one in the camo sweatshirt.

As you can tell...I haven't been on here very much:):)
