Dear airtran lady, don’t be rude.
Hey xangans! I’m on a train bound for GA. (a plane, more literally) This is miss misti freemans wedding weekend and were gonna celebrate! I wanted to write an update, but I don’t really know where to start, or where to go, so this may all be rambling- but what the hay. Speaking of hay- I have mastered the ways. Well, that may actually be pushing it. I tend to break something on a tractor weekly, which also means I’m learning to fix them too. I’ve spent most my time this summer, when I haven’t been at the restaurant, cutting, raking, raking, cutting, bailing, watching the weather, please don’t rain, oh no! Rain!, dammit, raking, bahaha! You get the picture. It’s been really fun actually, a new adventure, something I never really thought I would be able to do but, turns out, I can! Ill be on my tractor I’ve named her gwyneth, her door is broken and she has no a/c. And she is constantly breaking down, But I love her anyway) Were selling raw milk, (err, cow shares, if your the government and your reading this) (raw milk (unpasteurized) is illegal, so you buy a ‘share’ of a cow, and you can drink all the milk you want from your own cow. Take that government! Unless your reading this- in which case, SORRY!) and we have over twenty families now! Two giant coolers! Almost 50 ball jars! Sheesh! (and trust me, that sheesh is heavy!) Were also going to start selling pasteurized milk, were just waiting for health inspectors, all the equipment, we have to buy bottles, we think we might have finally decided on name, and so now we just have to call restaurants and grocerys and farmers markets and figure out pricing and buyers and sellers and ohmygoshthereissomuchtodo! Atlanta is getting closer to my window! I suppose I will ”turn off and stow all electronic devices” before the flight attendant comes back by and shoots me another dirty look. (my phone has airplane mode lady! Calm it!) I love yall! Come visit me! Seriously! It’s beautiful.

See you in a bit lil farmer girl…ILYM
My goodness! You really ARE a little farmer girl! I’d love to see photos of you and gwyneth. I love your dairy/farmer girl stories and would like to hear more of those too. Don’t try and fill your house all up at one time. I think it’s better if you get pieces as they ‘come to you’. You’ll find them, really you will, and they’ll be special and not something you got to just fill up spaces. Have a fun week and take lots of pics! Love Love Love You
I love so many things about this post. So many. Especially just the whole catching up part. I agree with my Mom, don’t try to decorate all at once. I tried that and ended up with mostly craptastic stuff. Don’t go there, be patient, wait for the good stuff…you know those great garage sale finds, or the print you’ve been saving pennies to have framed. Either way, lots of money or little, just get good and good takes time. I love you! Keep posting when you can.
I was hoping you might update this on the airplane….ILYM…happy birthday
