[Women] greetings -- Check-in

[Annie Warmke]

I noticed a couple of posts about ending individual quarantines. Not to 
be the person with bad news, but I think people should begin to consider 
that this sequestering is going to last for a number of weeks - perhaps 
as many as 8 or more.  That means we need to develop some strategies now 
for not moving around much, and working with each other to obtain what 
we need.  That certainly includes developing some regular check-ins.  
This morning, reading all of your responses has made my day quite a bit 
brighter.

Three of my goats are also on lock down and each day they give me 
something else to have to conquer.  The rain...constant rain is a source 
of much of the problem.  Fresh carrot and celery juice has brought a bit 
of a cure, but my supply will only last a couple of more days and they 
will need to be better by then.  We're in the throws of revamping our 
business in order to move forward far earlier then we had planned to 
putting everything online.  It's a mammoth undertaking.

In a few days I will send a link for a virtual tour of Blue Rock Station 
or you can go to Steader.com and sign up for Goat College 101 and see 
the interview and tour there.

Keep those virtual cards and letters comin'.  Bisous ("kisses" in 
French)...Annie

>> We might as well start where we are.  Whoever wants to check in that 
>> is great.  Just to say "Hello" is sufficient.  We all know each other 
>> and i thinkwe are comfortable with this medium of communication for

>>
>> Let us know how you are doing and what are some of the things you

>> great.
>>
>> Do you have suggestions as to how we should proceed?
>>
>> Best,  Jane
