I had better update this blog before I miss summer completely. This has been one busy summer. We started out with the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and it just got busier. June gave us a bit of time to look at the old farm house and decide it needed a new roof, new windows and some paint! A trip south to Georgia to be with our oldest as he took command of the Brigade at Fort Steward took up the later part of the month and Andrea stopped off in Virgina to help our daughter and son-in-law with their four girls as Jenn had rotator cuff surgery.
After celebrating Independence Day, I was off to Indianapolis for an ASI Ex Board meeting. This year's ASI budget was approved and prepared for mailing for the states approval...hope you voted! After that meeting I could be found in Wyoming visiting mom and making a few trout die.....tasted great! The 20th of August brought a large group of guests as we celebrated several August birthdays.
Aaron Loux put together a very successful Wool Pool and I am hearing from a lot of you that you were happy with the wool prices. Thanks Aaron!
Did you hear that we have two winners of significant national competitions among us? Abigale Rasys entered the National Joann Fabrics contest and her "Prom Dress" took a second out of a couple of thousand entries. Anna Charest took part in the National Pendelton Wool Challenge and was the runnerup to the national winner. Way to go Ladies!!!!
Next up are the fall fairs; wool festivals and breeding.....more on all of that next time.
