Update on the farm, bakery, family, congregation etc...

Well, I guess it is time for an update on the farm, bakery, family, congregation...

The farm is doing well.  We have our two cows, a calf, chickens, and even a hen setting on her eggs, so we are hoping for baby chicks in a few weeks!  We also have two many kittens...that we need to find homes for.  We've been working to get our girl kitties fixed; however, we have a neighbor who has an unfixed male...so that doesn't help matters!  Daddy's bees are doing well...even though we lost part of a hive to wax moths.  The whole hived died out, but part of the bees moved in with another hive to make it stronger.  The two remaining hives are doing well, so that is good news. 

Our family bakery has been BUSY this summer.  We were working 16 hour days most of the summer with only Shabbat off.  It is nice to be slowing down now.  I did make a website for our bakery which you can check out at www.bakery.restorahtionfarm.com.  I guarantee you will be drooling!  You might even place an order.  :)

My family is doing well.  Daddy has been busy with architectural work plus the bakery and farm.  Momma has been too.  All the changes with Gaga (my grandfather) were hard on her, but she's done well.  Now, just to get her eye pressure under control.  Her eye pressure has been and is incredibly high and causing her extreme pain today. We went to the eye doctor, but the eye drops the doctor gave Momma aren't helping. My dad went to the pharmacy right before Shabbat for the only other medication which might help, but I know prayer works...so please pray for a miraculous lowering of her eye pressure!  That is our main family concern....

Our congregation is doing well.  We grow and change in numbers, but our core group stays steady.  We are busy preparing for our gatherings on Yom Teruah (Feast of Shofars often incorrectly called Feast of Trumpets) and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).  I'm really excited about both!  They are always special times.  

Well, I will close now and wish everyone Shabbat Shalom!
