Have been really busy, unfortunately! We had 5 goats born, several Doctors Appointments, a bottle baby (in 20⁰ temps), a new Alternator, 30-coyote pack and a Mountain Lion terrorizing the neighborhood, my husband's knee was almost broken by a Violent Buck, finished my Business Plan and have been trying to get ahold of someone at a loan company... If I went on, I would just get tired and maybe lose my nugget... Reminder: DO WHAT YOU CAN, WHERE YOU ARE, WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. Be Well!!! Miss Kim

Today is a day I have been preparing for for 2 weeks!!! I had to leave my Ranch for the City 5 hours away... Which I normally DESPISE, but Today is EXTREMELY SPECIAL. TODAY marks the premiere of my Son's first book: Guardian of Titan. Can I explain to you how amazing it is to have a child who has published his first book before age 25?!?! If you are in the Scottsdale Arizona area, please visit the Arizona Book Fair today and buy this amazing book and tell him his Momma sent you!!! (On Sale today for only $20 p/t!!!) I happen to know another writer that will be there today: Avily Jerome is a prolific fantasy author and has many paperbacks as well as downloadable books through Amazon! More photos to come... So Proud of my Son!!! Miss Kim
