I thought this was good , hope you like it. Cinderella is now 95 years old. After a fulfilling life with the nowdead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching theworld go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob forcompanionship.One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother.Cinderella said, "Fairy Godmother, what are you doing here after allthese years"?The fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplarylife since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heartstill yearns?"Cinderella was taken aback, overjoyed, and after some thoughtfulconsideration, she uttered her first wish: "The prince was wonderful,but not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my disabilitychecks, and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension."Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold Cinderella said, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother".The fairy godmother replied "It is the least that I can do. What doyou want for your second wish?"Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said, "I wish I wereyoung and full of the beauty and youth I once had."At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful young visagereturned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her that had beendormant for years.And then the fairy godmother spoke once more: "You have one more wish;what shall it be?"Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, "Iwish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsomeyoung man."Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in hisbiological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man sobeautiful the likes of him neither she nor the world had ever seen.The fairy godmother said, "Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your newlife. With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the fairygodmother was gone as suddenly as she appeared.For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each other'seyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful,stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rockingchair, &held her close in his young muscular arms. He leaned in close,blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispered........."Bet you're sorry you neutered me."

I have no idea why the weather pixie is smiling or why she is dressed the way she is today. It is COLD and RAINING here.. I am sick to death of it. I am on a lunch break , so at least I am being creative. I wanted to get flowers this week NOT and Brian is driving me crazy, the grey really gets to him. Macy figured out how to get out of the day care pen. I am really surprized it didn't happen sooner. So we moved all the little ones in with the big ones. They seem to be living happily together. I do have beads but I haven't taken any pictures, I am happy I was motivated to get on the torch as I could really just crawl into bed and sleep a while. Hope it is better where you are. Have a day :)

I just put some stuff up on the bay, I have beads to clean and I am going to get on the torch today so look for more beads in the next couple of days. I have been working on my P & L for the the year so far. See all that accounting is really paying off lol. I made a promise to myself that I was going to update my records every month. As you see I am really keeping that one, lol. I am working on Jan thur April right now. I can give myself a break since we did move and all. I will do it starting the end of May though every month. I can't stand thinking of doing it for the whole year again for taxes. I am off to feed the goats and work in the studio. The big goats are getting more comfortable here. We didn't even have to "trick" them into going into the pen last night. OK the goat chow might have helped alittle :). I was raining really hard earlier this morning. Now that I am a morning person I get to see this stuff lol. It has cleared up and looks fairly nice out. Have a great day everyone.

It is going to be a beautiful day here in Scales Mound. Trish and Jessi from the Bead Bar came out to the farm last night to see the goats, they are too cute I think I need more little ones lol. I am heading out to let the goat out and then to the studio. I worked on some art clay silver yesterday so look for that soon. I am going to get on the torch today so look for some beads soon. I did finally get the last beads cleaned so here they are. I made some fused buttons, pictures aren't good so back to the studio for better ones but you get the idea :) Have a great day

I went to Columbus Wi, today to pick up my new goats. I got five Pygora from a really nice lady named Diana. She had every kind of animal you could think of. Horses, prarie dog, rabbits, cows, mules, peacocks, duck and GOATS. All kinds of goats. Since we are starting the fibre farm we got Pygoras,you cut their hair and mix it with sheep. So I will get getting a sheep next. We have a little baby Pygora and we named him Cody. I should have pictures tomorrow. We are going to have a storm here tonight and I wanted to get everyone in for the night. Cody is staying with Tatum and Macy. They are all full of piss and vinager , jealous I guess. They are sooo spoiled but they will get over it :)
