I never thought of inspiring anyone. <br />You and your husband will be in my prayers. It's so scary to start all over again (particularly when that isn't what you had intended).<br />We have been tremendously blessed and it is a privilege to share it with others. I do hope you'll visit us often. <br />Best to you and yours!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599739740886087571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819048519590916875.post-11147329302553225592014-06-26T19:14:25.026-04:002014-06-26T19:14:25.026-04:00They are truly fascinating people!

I really, really need to learn to do that. ;)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599739740886087571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819048519590916875.post-33579637562509099632014-06-26T18:49:25.488-04:002014-06-26T18:49:25.488-04:00Hi Barbara.

I am new to your blog but Ive read your posts and wanted to let you know you convey your posts in such a way that draws the reader in, as if talking to a friend over a cup of coffee. I am in awe of the hard work you and your family have put in, and it looks like its paid off. Good for you. I am inspired, as my husband and I have become victims of the economy and are too experienced to be hired. I live in the suburbs and over the last few years have turned my yard into a vegetable garden. And we will lose our house. So I find your story comforting not only that others can start with almost nothing, just each other, I find it inspiring as well. Visiting your blog is also like visiting Middlebrook which is nice considering I have only driven thru Virginia and never visited. You are a great representative of your community. I applaude you, and your husband takes wonderful pictures too!Kellie from Indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336038070977514482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819048519590916875.post-43149315014361848012014-06-26T18:08:20.451-04:002014-06-26T18:08:20.451-04:00Masai will also open a cow's artery for a bit ...Masai will also open a cow's artery for a bit of blood to supplement their diet. Of course they are also bravely dedicated in protecting their cattle from Lion's night raids. A fascinating people. I loved your brief retrospective of your times of learning to handle cows and their gift of milk. Many of us don't give a thought to where our dairy products come from. I recall an art teacher mentioning that people should have a cow for their own milk. His words soon made it clear he didn't understand the amount of grazing land, time, care, or maintenance involved, nor even that a cow must have given birth before she can produce milk. I just closed my gaping mouth and kept the peace. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
