BA - I always enjoy your adventures. I'm going to share this and your page with a friend of Raggedyanns on the other side of the mountain. she too has a fiber farm, teaches spinning, sells wool and spinning wheels. she's ALWAYS on the move, fiber fairs here and there, long distance teaching and lecturing . . . LOTS of work to be done on a fiber farm. to boot, she has a good case of Rheumatoid and a severe scoliosis. to be frank doing all she does at her age (66), I can't quite figure out how she manages to balance everything - but somehow - she does.
every time I see your AVATAR or read one of your posts, I think of Julie . . . up at the butt crack of dawn, feeding, moving things about, mending fence and putting up strays . . . and doing that till well after dark. not an easy occupation sister.
blessed be to you as well!
