This is our fireplace made out of limestone harvested from our property! Dad turned into Fred flinstone for a week and chipped away at the stone to create this beautiful fireplace! It isn't quite finished yet but it will be soon!
Wow I have really fallen behind in Blogging! Oops! Just as an update, here is what is going on with our family right now:
Last night we got some bad news. The family that is currently renting to buy cannot get a loan to purchase the house. They want to leave at the end of this month. Please be praying that we will have wisdom in knowing what to do. This is pretty scary for us right now.

Next Monday Amanda is starting back up in college and this semester will be a hard one. Anything with math has always been hard for her so if you'd also keep her in your prayers we'd appreciate it!
On a better note an opportunity has come up in the goat world for the girls to get a free goat! Peanut butter is 21/2 years old and she will come to us bred with the understanding that we will give the previous owner a doe kid in return! This is great as it saves us approximately $400 in stud and goat cost! We should be able to pick her up in September-October.
