Making A Trip To TN To Close On The Old Farm and My Goat Girls Taking Care of Things In Florida

Of all times for the farm to sell it has to be winter, lol.  Mike and I will have to make the trip with the RV and trailer back to the mountains to empty the house and the store.  Hopefully we can make it up the driveway which is always an unknown factor in the winter.  We do have the chainsaw on board just in case.

It ended up being a crazy whirlwind of a trip.  We watched the weather for an opportunity to get back, rent a Penske truck, get loaded up, go to the closing and get back to Florida.

We wanted to make sure we got there first thing in the morning so we left in the afternoon the day before.  This is a first trip for Princess and she is not going to like a 12 hour drive.  Lucky for her we made it to Cabella's in Charlotte before closing time and she was able to go inside the store and see people which is her favorite thing to do.  Then we slept in the RV until early early morning and finished the drive.  On a not so good note, Mike got sick so we had to stop and pick up cold medications to help him make it through.  We have a lot of work to do and not much time.

We picked up the Penske truck on the way out of town.  Since we can't get the truck up our driveway we will park it at the store.  We will use the trailer to load everything up and transfer it to the store and then the moving truck.

We did get the bulk done the first two days.  We cleared out the house and we are sleeping on the floor with blankets.

I'm going to miss this view and the privacy!!

Princess seems to like this cooler weather:

What a rag a muffin, lol.

I took her to say goodbye to Niki.  That was sad.  I have to leave Niki behind but she is in the place she loved the most.

And speaking of Princess we did have a scare.  After Mike and I got the bulk of the work done we visited the Farm Supply and stopped at Jimmy's on the way back.  While talking to Jimmy in his parking lot Princess was eating stuff in the gravel.  When we got back to the house we realized she was eating grease and who knows what else that spilled on the gravel at Jimmy's.  She started to get really sick.  I called my vet here in FL and told her what happened.  She told me to give her activated charcoal.  Uh yeah...in the mountains, no one is open, and no stores are close.  Then Mike remembered that we had some at the store for aquariums.  Well that had to do.  We gave that to Princess in the amount our vet told me.  It was a very long night worrying about our new pup.  Thankfully the next morning she was ok:)


Meanwhile back at home in Florida the goat girls are taking care of our goats and chickens.  Each day I get an update and pictures:)

And something they did that was really cute.  It was Honey's 1st birthday while we were gone.  The girls and their nieces gave her special treatment.  Honey got locked in the barn without the other goats and got some fresh picked leaves to enjoy:)

And she is loving every minute it of it:)  They also sang Happy Birthday to her and sent me a video.  My goat girls are so cute:)

Well it was a tough trip with a lot of hard work.  And even rougher with Mike being sick and the scare with Princess.  But we got it done.  The TN farm is sold and although we will miss it, it will be nice to be settled in one place for a change:)
