It's been a while since I've written, life has been full of chaos & loss the last several months. I'd first like to say thank you to the wonderful people who have made donations, it truly helps. Some I've known most my life, some I've never met. Karon Humphreys, Jim Wilkins, Linda Stokes, Shawn Troeger, Elizabeth Dylan Fisher, Karin Hamilton, Diane Gill, Janice Bailey & others on FB. Also to Shannon Bolin & Betty Colston for their monthly support. Betty is a gem & the patience of a saint for my questions about the computer that I can hardly tolerate. Our website is still not working properly but that's next on the list. Sadly, when Kerri passed her knowledge of it was also gone.
Festus made it another Christmas! But it was short lived & he passed a couple days ago. We always told visitors he was "old as dirt" probably close to or over 40yrs. His large helicopter ears hung down & his hee haw was faint & could make you laugh. Such a great guy! He came to us many yrs ago with his poor skinny legs that had been stripped of hair & chewed up by flies. Allot of the hair didn't come back so we had to keep fly spray on him all the time. I know the years he spent with us were probably his best. He could be quite a character but dearly loved, will miss him so much.
