Prayers for our sweet BB's brother

BB, I'm glad Steve is home and doing well. Now we will have to pray him out of bone grafts.

BB, so glad your brother is doing well enough to come home.

BB, I'm glad Steve is home and doing well. Now we will have to pray him out of bone grafts.

We can do that. Let's get started.

The alplaca's were discussed a couple of years ago to no avail, we were talking about this big alpaca coat I was wearing in the hospital, it really is the warmest coat I have and my brother Steve was teasing me saying if we bought alpaca's I'd be building them a pink gingerbread house......he is right....it went on from there and we decided to buy a couple as a family, funn, hobby. We have a lot of land and a lot of it is already fenced for the cows....so just add some alpaca's. The land is around my Dad's house and he is retired so......we will just let him take care of them.... My Dad actually called me this afternoon and wants me to go to some farm with him next weekend to look at some. Now......we are buying alpaca's, building a pink gingerbread house for them and DD is taking her next vacation to come and shear them. Keep up!

Steve is out of the hospital, we will know in another week or two if he has to have bone grafts. Please keep saying prayers he does not.

okay. I am now fully informed of the alpaca family project.

please keep us posted on Stevie-baby and the alpacas. I don't really know what an alpaca is but I look forward to learning more from you in the days to come!

I love alpaca - doesn't itch me like wool!

It's also hypoallerginic. You coming with gaiboy to shear you own? First, you will have to duke it out with DD, she told swgb to get his own gig.

My Dad and I are going to try to get Steve loaded up in the truck next Saturday and ride up to farm to look at some if he is up to it. Looks like the poor economy has also caused some short sales on alapaca's.

I decided I wanted a couple since if I have to have animals heads peering in my door, they may as well be wearable and keep me warm. Plus, to boot, they are depreciable on your taxes after 5 years. Are 3 acres enough to qualify for a farm?

How long does it take to shear one of those little critters?
I'm sure Steve will be happy to get out--hope he can make it.

This make me laugh so hard.

Alpaca Short Sales! :rofl:

I don't shear (would be bad for the animals as I can't even shave my own legs w/o cuts), but Mama Scooterbug might be able to sell your wool at the store - they cater to serious weavers and knitters.

Well.....guess what....we are going to get Steve out of the house for the first time since he has been home. He has started physical therapy and I think is getting a bit depressed.....sooooooo.....I told him I was coming to get him....we will have to wheel him down the ramp, put him in his mule (think I can start it and get it around the house?!) ride him out to the car and somehow dump him in the car! Then we are going to a farm to look at this

Boyfriend! Y'all come on up, we will buy my boy one! I told Steve we will put him in the back seat and he can just stay in the car and peer out the window like a doggie.

I really do appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers, we will know next week if he has to have more surgery. Keep praying and sending good thoughts. I'm sure I'd go nuts if I had to stay home for one weekend....don't know how I'd survive months of it! I have been sending him funny cards almost daily and his wife told me how much he really enjoyed them, who knew a guy would like that sort of thing.

Awwwwwwww! That's the cutest little critter I've ever seen, and I bet s/he's even softer than my cat that looks like you!

The only way it could be any cuter is if you put it in 2 pairs of those boots.

I know! I seriously want to kiss it on the nose! They are incredibly soft. I will take some pictures tomorrow and then post them for y'all......then y'all can help me pick some out! We will name them on SoWal.com....then again....that might not be such a good idea since I have a 5yr old and 10yr old niece.

That is SOOOOO cute!!!!
I want details on the alpaca short sales! The whole idea cracks me up!

Tell FFF we are going to start a Sowal alpaca farm so the land is assessed as "farm."

Well.....guess what....we are going to get Steve out of the house for the first time since he has been home.
