A thread for 2020 stories. It's been a year and a half. Please don't fight, backbite, or get political.
It's late but congrats on your newest grandbaby!Wow..2020 has been such a challenge for everyone. Such strength in you all. My year has been mild in comparison.
For me, My daughter and her family moved back from Alaska..yahooo..she had a second baby. A boy then Hubs job took them all back to Alaska two months later ..sad day.
I got really sick..im stubborn so try to fix myself to no avail....finally went to the drs and found out to be diabetic! Ha..me ..miss eat healthy!! My dr scolded me for taking so long to see her. Said I was lucky not to be in a diabetic coma. Neuropathy in my feet is horrible but the proximol neuropathy keeps me cringing. Things are slowly getting better..sugar is coming down and working on the diabetic related high BP. Im doing it with no medication which is slow going. Lost nearly 50 pounds and lots of muscle and strength..working on rebuilding muscle and strength. Reduced my herd size to better manage them. Still takes me all day to trim hooves with my 14 yr old sons help (hes a fast learner and huge help)
I published a book in January
had Two graduations
My daughter graduated police academy with high honors and is now serving an area city.
My son graduates with his PHD and now a professor at a Dallas university.
So some good and not so good but it's almost over and lots of promise in our future
Aww I'm so sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences.:hug:Yesterday, my dad died. It was a heart attack and no one saw it coming. He was 75. I am 32 but I live at home with my parents, so we are close. I've never experienced the loss of a close family member besides elderly grandparents. Everything is so surreal now. So here I am sitting around in the middle of the day on a goat forum, lol.
What amazing hair dos! What kind are they?2020 is proving to be one for the history books for sure! I'm very lucky to live outside a city on 2.5 acres. There is always something to do and I love working on my land. The lockdowns and stay at home orders have provided me with an excuse to not leave our little slice of heaven. I never get tired of hanging out with my wonderful goats and silly chickens. My hubby and loving dog Ellie Mae are happy that I spend more time at home too. This year has helped me to slow down, appreciate and thoroughly enjoy my life. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, be safe!!

@Calistar @AlabamaGirl @AndersonRanch @Tanya @Moers kiko boars and all you other friends, I am touched you are sharing your stories. I too had dark times this year, and I too am grateful for all the blessings in my life. TGS is one of those blessings, so are my goats!
Best friends May and Coco
