Natalie is One Year Old

Natalie plays with the gravels in the barn.

Jacob's Sheep

A neighbor brought his sheep over to eat some grass for me. They ate some bark while they were at it.

New goat addition

Mickey is a pygmy billy goat. He is not full-grown yet, "but" is making his presence felt!

Kayaking

Josiah kayaks the Newark rapids of the Hughes River.

Blennerhassett Bridge

We walked across the new bridge. We've been waiting for this a long time.

Meigs County Huttons

I finally found some time to do some genealogy research. I'm down to two jobs for the summer, working only 10 hours a week now, and only 3 days a week. Hopefully, I'll have some time to play with my grandkids now.

Perhaps Elijah Hutton was a cousin to my great-great-great grandfather Joseph Hutton. The inscription at the bottom says:

Thy toils are now ended

Thy suffering is o'er

Thy spirit is at rest

On that far distant shore.

Easter Kids

We had a nice Easter. Everyone went to Sunday School with me at Cutler Mission.

Me Bad Blogger

So sorry to have neglected posting for such a long time. My life is very busy right now with four part-time jobs (60 hours per week).

Josiah moved back home with me after Christmas. We enjoy playing music and chess.

Amber and her "crew" are staying with me temporarily. She's relocating here.

So, with 5 extra people in the house, it's wild around here.

One of my missing camera's reappeared mysteriously. I'm glad, but curious as to where it had been. It's an old Nikon SLR, so no good for blogging.

They caught the guy who had been robbing people in the neighborhood, but it's unlikely I'll get anything else back.

I'll check in later when I get some good pictures to show off.

Goats

I have not posted in a while because I had no pictures to post. I have had 4 cameras stolen in two months. Pray that I can catch the culprit and reclaim my cameras and photos. Plus, my internet service is long distance now, so I refrain from long hours on the internet.

Here are a couple of photos of my pygmy goats taken with my old Olympus digital. Muffin didn't cooperate, but Izzy was showing off.

September Adventures

I know I've been seriously neglecting my blogging duties lately. I was very busy starting up the afterschool program. Also, I was robbed a couple of times (including my cameras). I hope to keep updated from now on. This is a picture of Josiah and his girlfriend in the homecoming parade. Chelsea is the Freshman Princess and Josiah is her escort.
