Queen Mum's Dancing in the Rain

[Queen Mum]

Autumnprairie offered me a place to stay and I arrived last night after a night of sleeping in my truck. The other people were AWFUL and I had to have the sheriff come out because they wouldn't let me on the property to get even my medication and a blanket so i could stay warm. Ok, the husband, Dan was relatively cordial, but Lisa, the wife was nothing but angry and hostile the whole time. She was even going to lock the sheriff out until her husband came home and let him in.

The next day she insisted that I could not come out to get my stuff till 2 pm, but the sheriff wanted to "just get it done" and I said, I knew it would take several hours. He (the sheriff) told me that I should get my trailer and he would send a deputy when the deputy was available. We got out there around 11:30 am and the wife was FURIOUS and tried to scold him and then me for "not following directions". I refused to speak to her or engage with her. She wouldn't let me out of my car until the Sheriff told her she had to let me get my stuff.

Her husband was very cordial and helped me with the heavy stuff and to get my goats on the truck. It took several hours and in the meantime the wife spent the whole time telling the deputy sheriff a lot of stories about what a liar and an awful person I am. I just kept my mouth shut, ignored her and loaded my stuff. It's OK, she has to live in that town and faces the fact every day that her son has been in prison for about 15 years for attempted murder. The sheriff knew who she was and wasn't happy to be dealing with her again. Her reputation lives with her. I never have to go back there. I am sure the deputy could read through her baloney. And he could see that I was just doing the best I could to stay out of it.

When I was done the sheriff came over and gave me a lecture about never coming back on their property. I said I wouldn't come back ever because they were such awful people to me and that I understood his instructions. He asked me if I had everything. I said I didn't know because they wouldn't let me in the house to check. (She just threw my stuff in bags and boxes and piled it in the driveway.) It turns out that she kept all my cheese cultures. (Oh well, I will just have to buy them again.) (It was probably an oversight. )

Well ANOTHER life lesson learned. There are good people in the world and they far overshadow the bad ones. Moving on.

Very happy you are in a safer and happier place and hope you never have another bad experience like you have had. Autumnprairie is a great person for offering you a place and a way out of the situation you were in.

I would do it for any one of my BYH family if ya were in a fix. It is just the way I am. I try to have a good sense for people.

I sure hope I can be of help to Autumnprairie here. People have been very kind to me. From the man at the airport parking who waived part of my parking fee, to the sheriff who helped me get my medicine and blanket to the people on here who have been so supportive and encouraging (people like RTG, SmallFarmgirl, Daisychick, Donnabelle, RollsFarm, Elevan, Dkrabbitry, Marlomanor and SO MANY OTHERS), to Autumnprairie who saved my hiney. It just makes me realize that the other people that I had trouble with were a blip on the radar not the whole human race.

One of the best things about our community here is that we ARE a community. I've had the honor of meeting a handful of members (and hope to meet more some day) and have become friends with some. I watched (read) others extend a helping hand to another member in need. What an awesome bunch of backyard farmers we have here!

I wish you the best Queen Mum.

Things are going very well here. Autumnprairie is a wonderful person. I love her family and her goats. Mama and the gang are settling in nicely and the stress is SO much less here. Houdini likes Autumnprairie a LOT. He does what she wants and will follow her into the pen. Who knew. He seems to like it here.

She has some lovely dogs and cats. And her cousin is a very sweet young man.

I really hope I can live up to her expectations.

Houdini and Jelly Bean are still as nutty as every but they are getting a bit more tame everyday. Ian is kind of a pill these days. He needs a few lessons in MANNERS! He keeps nudging Autumnprairie in the bottom and pushing everyone away from the feeder.

Today he learned about electric fence. We went and got a high powered charger to keep the goats in. It works very, very well!
