Let's try this again. I was trying to correct my typos on the title and somehow this thing decided to publish itself.
We went to a hillbilly auction today. Scrufftiest bunch of people I've ever seen outside a biker bar - Grampa and I fit right in :) We bought a couple of ducks. Grampa suggested we name them Donald and Daisy. I like it!
We used to have a couple of ducks. One thought it was a chicken. We named it Daffy. He was lots of fun. So much so that Blue wanted to play with him. We lost almost all our small flock of chickens and the wanna be chicken when he was a pup. He knows not to play with them now. Some people says that once a dog has killed a chicken he will get the taste of it and you won't be able to stop them, but they are wrong. Blue only wanted to play and he's learned he can't do that.
Grampa made some connections yesterday that may open a market to restraunts in St. Louis. It looks very promising and we are excited! It just seems like God keeps opening up markets for us. Our only problem is meeting the demand.
Our first farmer's market this year will be in Burlington on Thursday, May 7th at the riverfront. Hope to see some of you there!
Oh ... and this has nothing to do with business ... I'm just so incredibly proud of Grampa! He's always been such a private, shy recluse, but he made the front page of the county newspaper with the speech he made at our little Tea Party protest in town. The editor gave me a link you should be able to use now and also when it goes into the archives.
I'm experimenting here. I added the link as an "enclosure link" We will see what happens. Hopefully you'll be able to find it and click. Anyway, the paper printed almost his entire speech word for word. I'll post it on the side bar if it doesn't.
Well, lot's to do!
God Bless You All!
