My heart goes out to the families/friends who lost a military member this past week.  My heart breaks for them.

We heard from my daughter who is in Afgahansitan she is doing better have some headaches and still experiences some flashbacks. Back to her normal duties.  She wanted to give her brother some advice about traveling to other states.  She missed him he had already left to board a train.

He raises milking goats.  It has been quite a project because he knew nothing about this project so he had to start from scratch where most kids start with a project that their parents and/or are already raising them like cattle or pigs.  We live on a farm but we raise beef cattle.  He didn't want to go that way he wanted to have a project he could call his own and his dad wanted to start drinking goat milk.  If you buy goat milk in the store it is quite expense, $6.00 a half of gallon.  Lakota did all the research and set the area up.  He went out and bought on goat, and at this moment we have I think four mother goats, 6 babies and 2 billy goats.  The highlight of the school season is when Lakota takes the goats usually two a mother and a baby in the back seat of the old car for the day.  He shows teachers and town kids especially elementary children how to milk a goat and that milk just doesn't start out in a store.  If they are brave enough to taste the milk they are welcome too it.  The goats all have names and different personalities.  They know Lakota's voice and will follow him around.  Even when he took the one goat named Sally two years ago.  They pinned her up in a pen in the AG room, someone let her go so she went looking for Lakota and the next thing he knew she was following him down the hall.  If that wasn't an ordeal.  He is also an officer for the local FFA.

I was wondering that, too, Paymaster...my brother raised capons and a calf (only the capons got to take over my playhouse when I was a kid) and my niece raised a pig.

Mama Bear...Your FFA son must be pretty high up in the organization to be going to the convention in DC.  What did your son raise?

Mama bear and others, I suddenly don't feel so strange...Even if you were alone crying, I think what each of us are feeling more and more of from being on here, at least I know it's true for me this year....I felt alone in what I was feeling with those emotions topping out on the fourth but I sensed a great feeling that NavyMoms all over could relate to me and no one else could.  We were with you in spirit...It was what helped me that day too knowing that there are moms somewhere from NavyMoms that would understand completely and that brought a great comfort this year....Thank you for being here and sharing.

I am from a very tiny community in Iowa.  But how funny is it for you to say you live in DC because my son is heading that way tomorrow for little over a week for FFA Convention that is if you mean Washington, DC.  I am going to miss him too like crazy it's going to be a lonely week for me but aleast I know when I will get to see him again.
