JavaJeb – What a thought provoking post. I don’t have the room, area, or the ability to do what you do. But I really enjoy getting fresh eggs from my friend in the country. He has about 300 hens now and I can’t tell you how much I really enjoy them. SO much better then what you can buy in the store. I also try to get organic and locally grown veggies and fruits. They seem just like the good olde days when growing up.

By the way still enjoying the home roasted beans when I can. So much better then the grocery store. Just wish I could do it more often. But I have another friend that has two roasters and I partake in his bounty and his love of trying out new beans.

Sadly, it does often take personal tragedy to spur us to ask questions and to make changes in our lives. For us, it was what happened to my wife’s parents that “woke” us up. Her dad, always in poor health from obesity and an inactive life style, died suddenly of an embolism-induced heart attack. Three years later, her mother also had a heart attack. Her heart attack, though, was after she had drastically changed her diet to one that should have been more healthy. Didn’t help her though she did live through that.

Her heart attack spurred us to investigate nutrition, etc. as they might relate to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Because of what we learned, we changed our diet drastically (to one closely resembling yours) and are now nearing the end of the second year of that. Our other change has been in our level of physical activity. We are now biking, swimming, running, lifting weights, and stretching our muscles and ligaments most every day. None of our changes may add a single second to our lifespans, but it has already greatly improved the quality of our lives. Our energy level, mental outlook, and overall fitness have improved very much. It is a pleasure to be alive on God’s green earth!

Thank’s Joel. And though I don’t mention it, I’ve been encouraged by your contributions lately. Grace to you!

Such gorgeous kids. I grew up on a farm with a few baby goats frollicking around. It brings back so many memories. Great blog. Keep it up. Adam from Best Coffee Machines and Coffee Grinder Reviews

I can imagine eight would certainly be a little easier to feed! Congratulations on the sales! That surely has helped a lot!

Baby goats really are fun to watch, I have to admit. Nevertheless, good luck with the sales!

We’re not there, yet. But since we had another one Sunday (last this spring), taking the count to 9, it might be tempting. Especially if we can’t easily sell them.

PS Don’t tell the kids (I mean children) I said that.

That’s getting to be a rather large herd! Any plans for barbecued cabrito?
