 well as some girls here know it has been a hard 3 years. with the iron infusions and no work. for a long time not sure we were staying here. 3 times it took to get a loan mod. diane and many others here helped me not give up so we sold or butchered 14 cows. we are down to 3 cows and a calf. one of these cows belongs to a friend. we have butchered pigs and chickens and sold stock like crazy to get by there were many times when all we had in the morning was fifty dollars. with Jehovahs help we are here today. all the animals have food and so do we. we are all still here on the farm. the core is here. the sun is out and it is sooo beautiful. in 11 days papa gets his first social security check. we can make it each month with his and my ssi. what a relief it is to be in the home stretch. we have done side jobs cleaned homes sold beef pork milk etc to get by. i feel a calm now. i do need to get my iron and blood checked. its been a while. i am hoping i will not need an iron infusion this time. anyway thanks to ALL the farmgirls who have supported me through this hard time. i will keep you posted on what happens next. happy days to you all sherrye

Sherry,
So happy for you. I can almost feel your relief. Sometimes you just have to wait for the sun to come out.

Sherrye, It sounds like it has been a rough time. I know so many people that have had to scrimp and sell their stuff to make ends meet. You are in my prayers lady.
