From Jim: Christmas is just around the corner and, after that, a new year will begin-resolutions and all that. Looking back, this has been quite a ride. Our herd has grown a bunch. Times are so hard for folks and their critters right now. We lost some wonderful animals in the past twelve months. It's part of a rescue/sanctuary cycle, but we never get used to it and always feel the loss of our babies. We've made some great new friends, kept some really super long time compadres and enjoyed seeing our Brian find a wonderful lady and get ready to move on with his life-How neat is that? Gracie is now actively sharing her love and peace with others that can really use it. Laura has amazed us with her drive and hard work. The thrift shop, with almost unbelievable hard work from Ron and Helen, is rolling along. This, in spite of the rotten economy. Dr. Darling, our vet. and Aaron, our farrier, have pulled off their usual miracles. Jesse and Malorie work so hard when they're here. We seem to be blessed more than we could ever have imagined. The kindness that others share with our sanctuary is humbling. The folks that have taken on the chore of rescuing and caring for our fellow creatures are a part of us now. We are privileged to be counted in their numbers. We will celebrate life. Our gifts are under the trees, grazing and horsing and living. They are in our hearts and touch our souls. We're carried along, throughout the year, with the enrichment that doesn't check out the Dow-Jones or prime rate. Hay prices mean a lot more to us than gold prices. We wish all of you the very best for the holidays and for the new year to come. Try to resolve to love on your critters everyday. You'll both enjoy it and it'll make for a better year-guaranteed!
