now it's goodness gracious grannies! another year!

You know I have got to get better with the postings but life sometimes gets in the way! As it did in my case! no excuses, just fact! Let's go down memory lane and get updated! Since last September/October.....
We acquired a boar and a sow...a boy and girl pig. Once they reached maturity, we tried to go the 'make more piggies' route. No babies yet, fingers crossed for the next few weeks, but 'mama' doesn't appear to be preggers, but she is very large, so it could be hidden. Mr. Pig, topped out at 495 pounds, went to market, to market this past Monday, so he'll be in somebody else's pen or freezer soon. as for Mrs. Piggie, she'll either have babes in the next few weeks, or be gracing our table/freezer in Dec/Jan.
The chickens are still hanging in there, having had 3 hatchings this past summer, we sold off 25+ hens/roosters, so others are now enjoying farm fresh eggs and natural meat!
The garden area has been reduced, as we grow way too much for ourselves, much less our neighbors/friends!
the remodel on the house is continuing...with our dance floor complete and in use! the living room painted and the pantry is being built. next will be the bathrooms and kitchen last!
now for the big news....We've decided to make a move and really start OUR lives anew, in a new house, a new town...and to reopen our store.
Southport, NC is the happening place for us. More on that to come.
I should start to learn more about posting and get some pictures posted! Is there a book called...Blogging for anybody! LOL!
hopefully the next post won't be long in coming!
