Hello everyone,

Well, we finally made it to North Carolina and I have to say it is 
beautiful, even it the quiet of winter. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and 
immediately walked the property.  It is definitely a diamond in the rough 
but it feels right to be on a piece of land that will provide for our needs 
in times of crisis.

We have a large chicken coop ready for our laying chickens we will be 
purchasing next week.  Attached to the coop is a three stall goat barn and 
tack room for those miniature milk/cheese producers and a HEATED dog house 
for our newest arrival, Baruch, an eight week old German Shepherd.

I become overwhelmed with the excitement of beginning the aquaponics in the 
large chicken barns just thinking of the potential.  We have already begun 
writing the grant to fund it through the USDA.

Well, that's it for now. Like the James Taylor song says, "In my mind I've 
gone to Carolina!"
God bless everyone, and thanks for all the words of encouragement.

Jan I pray the Lord fulfills your every desire.

Kim and Tim and kids
