Hi, everybody!
Just checking in since I haven't been around in a long while. Still singing the "ain't got no eggs" blues. If the chookies weren't so darn cute and sweet, they would all be in serious danger of the stewpot.

Well, we were looking at medium sized...
Going OFFLINE!
For those of you using the GPS.. Look for the house at the top of the hill (corner of Cottage & Olivia) with a stone wall and too many trees. Yes, you can park on the street on Cottage St.
Everyone come around to the back door, OK?
See ya's soon!
