Ranchfest Re-Cap
10/14/07 - The Lord's Day - After Breakfast. This is a Ranchfest re-cap prepost. By that I mean that I am not going to post the pictures of the projects yet, because I am too lazy to get up and get the camera right now. So my plan is to post the pics sometime after fellowship today.
We had a great Ranchfest, and we had such a great time that it was bittersweet to see it end. It is tiring though, and it will take me several days to recuperate completely. Everyone here enjoyed themselves immensely, and we sat around the fire last night and discussed how blessed we are to have these opportunities.
The last of our guests left yesterday, and during the week we gained a new family here in the community. Liviu Gurau, his wife Mary, their two boys (Iulian, Elisei - *uncertain on the spelling) and another one on the way - have arranged to buy 4 acres in the community and are here with us to stay. We welcome the Gurau's and pray for their success and happiness in their new agrarian endeavors.
We were able to finish most of the framing of the shed roof for the office. We could not afford to buy the rafters yet, but the rest of the frame is done and is awaiting the rafters and roofing. We finished the roof on Josie's cabin, which was a great blessing. We also mostly finished our north pasture fence, and we got one of our generators running down at the office.
On the 5th day we received some rain (less than 1/2 inch) which was nice, and the prognosticators are calling for 70% probability of rain this evening and 80% tomorrow. We'll see. We could sure use the rain.
Milking is going well, and we have had Liviu up with us every morning to learn the milking system. He is hoping to get a milk goat very soon.
I have to run and get ready for singing. I hope all is well with you all, and I will attempt to get some pictures up soon.
I am your servant in Christ Jesus,
