Found the perfect wedding gift. Sharper Image has just come out with a Lord of the Rings pinball machine – it’s a mere $4,999. Now if I can just figure out how to wrap it!

Got Jessie’s dress. Not too thrilled with the fit. Ordered a different one yesterday. When it comes in, I’ll stop by with both and let you decide. Also ordered 2,800 shells yesterday- -- hope that’s enough! We might totally disrupt the eco-system of your beach!

Thought you might enjoy seeing the latest addition(s) to our household. It goes to show I have NO control whatsoever! They’re arriving Friday (we think).

How many Al Pacas? All three of those? LOL! - Why????


"Also ordered 2,800 shells yesterday- -- hope that’s enough! "

I have been talking about guns all morning... so that read funny!

I think it might really confuse an paleontologist someday.

Yes they are alpacas – yes all three of them. You have to have two which left the third by himself – so they just threw him in as a package deal.

Why – now that’s a good question. Since Alpacas of America moved into DanDar farms, Bob and Jessie have been frequent visitors. If you thumb through her school journal it frequently cites trips to visit “her” alpacas. She’s been lobbying for one for almost a year. They called on Saturday with a deal Bob couldn’t refuse – though I’m not sure there’s any deal he’d pass up. But part of the deal was joining 4-H – so that happened Monday evening.

What the heck. . . . .

I finally saw an alpaca at the zoo a couple weeks ago--they're neat! :)

Those alpacas are so cute, but I can only imagine having to deal with those coats. Aren't they shorn like sheep on occasion?

Alpacas? I prefer llamas.

A lot of homeschoolers I've known raised goats. Mom always said we weren't real homeschoolers because we didn't have goats.
