Rack and Roll

Thursday I picked up these babies!

The storage capacity!

The wheels!

The color!

I called my Dad; asked him if he wanted to go for a road trip; picked him up from the Anderson Island ferry; and we headed to Aberdeen. And yes, it was the rainiest, soggiest, coldest day of the week! But Lisa of Seaworthy Home and her husband Steve helped us load them into the truck, lickity split. On our way out of town we checked out the Grand Heron. Beautiful store, but we were so distracted by hunger, cold and feeling like drowned rats that we couldn't give it the attention it deserved. But pop in if you are in Aberdeen!

All in all, it was a terrific road trip. I don't spend near enough time with my Dad, so it was a real treat to have him all to myself for a day...and he bought me lunch!

Can't wait to put these racks to work!

Ready, Set, Goat!?

Yep, I said Goat!

Today, my sister and I are off on an inter-state adventure with Granny and Wilber.

Let me start at the beginning. I don't remember who 'friended' who first on FaceBook, but Katherine Dunn of Apifera Farm had me at "Where art and animals collide", and then it just got better from there. She rescued Itty Bitty Etta, a rain-soaked itty bitty kitten around Halloween. And she has a one-eyed pug; and makes puppets; and raises weed-loving donkeys; and lives on a lavender farm; and makes pie....sigh....

A couple of weeks ago she announced on FaceBook that she is adopting some rescue goats from New Moon Farm Goat Rescue & Sanctuary in Arlington, Washington and wouldn't it be nice if someone will volunteer to get them to her in Yamhill, Oregon. So I did. I volunteered and have been looking forward to this road trip like I can't even explain. I am thinking there is some good medicine for the soul there...

So, Ophelia and I are bringing the goats to Apifera and like I said, are making an adventure of it. Once the goats are safely delivered, a pie is in our hands and Itty Bitty Etta is snuggle-bunnied, we are going to Portland to stay with our cousin and family. We will take in the sights, do a little shopping, eat some good food and laugh and giggle like the super, silly sisters we are.

I will post photos of our Goat Adventure and let you know how it went when we get back!
