Remembering all who have sacrificed it all for this land we call home and our freedom.
Before I run out the door to work, I had to post that I sold two of my male piggies at the auction on Saturday night for $50 each, for a little tiny rural auction that was a good sale, and paid back my investment of $30.00 each for the male and female I originally bought to breed. The money went right into bags of feed to finish off the two I plan to keep for meat. I gave the only two females of the litter to the woman who gave me the horses who in turn gave me two little Peking ducklings. I have 3 more babies left to sell and will take at least two of them next Saturday to the auction.
I met an older man at the auction who was wanting a baby goat for a pet but could not afford one, I heard through a friend that he was a nice old guy who would be good to his word, so I loaded up one of my two buck kids and took him to him on Sunday morning, he was thrilled to say the least and I got to see his really beautiful veggie garden and know the little guy will be well cared for.
Sunday it rained buckets so i was forced to stay inside and ended up doing nothing, nothing of any use that is. I guess I needed an afternoon like that, I can't remember the last time I did that.
I should have passed along the "Versatile Blogger" award that I received from a very gracious woman, but I was too brain dead. I will have a hard time choosing who to pass it along to since there are so many great bloggers out there whose posts I love to follow, but I will do it soon.
Hope everyone who gets Memorial Day off enjoys time with family and friends. I am off to work, still sick people to see even on the holiday.
I do remember our soldiers who gave their lives toward the freedom we have today. I remember, as well, our soldiers who fight today toward maintaining this freedom. I remember, those who are serving today and their families are without their presence.
ReplyDeleteI remember and I am thankful.
Sounds like you did well at the market. Also, giving the little old man a buck kid is a good thing. Good Karma...or you reap what you sow...you have sown good!
This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home....and so it goes.
With a peking duck thrown in for good measure.
Happy Day.
Good job.
