Hey there, I have not been on here in a very long time. But you come to mind so often. How are you? how are your critters? What is new with you? I have been in the world of cheese making with my goat milk. It has been an adventure, but I have mastered a large number of cheeses and goat butter. The butter is the best I have ever had, amazing... anyway, just thought I would see how you are.
