Taking a break

Dear Friends,

I am taking some time off from blogging.

Last night,   My sweet Shilah died.   She was kind and loving.  I am broken hearted.. I buried her down the bottom of my land this morning..    
Life is becoming a little hectic around the farm.

I am taking some days to go visit my children next week.

sending you all good wishes.. for the rest of January.


Val

  2. Dear Val, I am heartbroken with you. All of us, who have animals living with us, know that every now and then a very special animal steals our heart. I am so sorry to hear that your sweet Shilah will not be enjoying your company when Spring comes.
    Take good care and we will be here when we see you next. Love, Gina

  4. Dear Val - I am very sad to learn about your sweet horse Shilah - I know that you will miss her dreadfully - it is better that you should have a break and spend time with your children than be on your own.
