It's been a while since I've posted and then only infrequently, but I got to thinking about the girls who used to post here on a regular basis long ago and far away. I hardly recognise the 'new girls' on the blog and was wondering about the "old gals" of which I am one!

Where are they now and what adventures have they been up to?

Oh what a nice post! I just was looking around and found this. I have been with the farm since 2011, One of the best thing I did for me
I love being on here and all the swaps.
I found the farm because I was looking for an ATC swap to get into. I found one on here and have been here ever since.Mary Janes Fam has been great for me
Hugs

Rachael, so good to hear from you again!! Best of luck with your new master's degree and co-authoring a new book. That is very exciting. I am also happy that you have found new medication that is really helping you too.

Rachel, so good to see you again!

I was looking to see when I joined up and I can't believe it has been 16 1/2 years that I have been here doing things and making friends. So many friendships I have gained over those years here.
Thankful for each and everyone of them! This is a great place to be!

Hello! I'm one of the "old" ones, too - #127. When I logged on today, I asked it to show me all new posts since I last logged in, which was May 15, 2022!!!! Since then, I've had horrible battles with my Psoriatic Arthritis, suffered a loss of mobility for a while, and am now on a new medicine that seems to be working! I also went back to school this past January to pursue a 2nd Master's degree. I'm attending Northwest Nazarene University through their online Graduate program to get my Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry. So, my days of crafting and sewing and blogging are basically gone until June 2025 when I graduate! HA! I'm also under contract to co-write a book, which I probably need to start on, as our draft is due to the publisher in January...

I think of this community often and I hope everyone is well!

Hay there ladies. I suppose I'm one of the "old" ones. Sister #1093. I pop in and out and I hope to do more of that coz ya'll bring a warmth to my day. I love reading what everyone posts and seeing ya'lls accomplishments. I have Farmgirl gifts scattered all over my home and camper. Ya'll, old and new sisters, are awesome. I admire all of you. Hugs.

Hugs and prayers, Daizy #1093

I am one who used to be here a lot but fell to the side. Hoping to be back more often. Still farming but downsized from 50 head of black angus to 8 at the moment. Hope to keep in 10-15 range. Still have my layers 17, with a dozen more chicks that came this week. Egg demand is high #9786;#65039;.

Working on more self sufficiency as with what the world is think it will be more important than ever. Anxiously awaiting garden season as here need to wait couple more weeks before planting. Finally got rid of the snow! #128563;

Hope all are doing great!

CJ--Oh my gosh---I'd forgotten about the piano keys! My daughter was married in CO 2years ago in October actually at Rocky Mountain National Park-It was STUNNING. I told Bruce we have to get back to CO again. We drove all the way there and stayed in Loveland. What a trip. No longer doing the soap shows just once a year make about a dozen batches for the family. I hope you are well and in good spirits CJ. I think of the girls on the forum a lot.

Mel, I'm in the southwest corner of Colorado. There are 400 miles between me and Denver, along with several major mountain passes and the Colorado Rockies mountain range.
I also enjoyed your soaps and some body lotion. . . lovely things. Remember the piano you had and sending me some of the keys? Well I still enjoy them!

That's right! Dutchy....her brother ended up building her a beautiful little place and she was so happy to join him there. Thanks for letting me know-

It was Dutchy! I once sent her some pumpkin pie spice and a few other things many moons ago.

I think I've been here since 09. I do wish the forum was phone friendly. I'd be in here more often because I no longer own a laptop. #128532;

Yes her screen name was Dutchy. She joined about a year or so after I did.
I don't think she ever shared hew her move went.

I remember her. Wasn’t her screen name Dutchy? It was always interesting to read her posts.

Mel, I remember your wonderful soaps. My husband loved the smell of your red clover tea. Those were some of the best barters. My honey shelves are always over flowing so it helped to clear them off a bit.

It is so great to see a few, old familiar faces back on here.

There was one particular gal I've been thinking about lately--I believe she lived in Amsterdam? And, her brother bought her a house in Thailand--Just curious to see how that turned out.

Julie!! Gosh, I remember the honey you sent me once. Hope you are well and in good spirits.

CJ!! We were just in Colorado a little over two years ago for my daughter's wedding. It was stunning-we were at the Rocky Mountain National Park for the nuptials near a beautiful lake-It was breathtaking. My first time in CO and I fell in love.

Diana!! It's been so long. I hope you are doing well.

My goodness, I miss this forum. It's been an especially difficult winter here in the Great North Woods. And, I am not getting any younger and my thoughts seem to gravitate to the past recently.

It was so nice seeing your responses.

Even with my recent times of absentia, I haven't really been gone. And, like Julie, I've seen many comings and goings in the 14 years I've been here.
I hope to be less absent in the future.
