Our new ride

 Our new farm van.  We still have the 3/4 ton

Cargo van, but this is easier to 'muscle' for those

long trips. Like yesterday...

It is a 2003 Honda Odyssey with no rust

(it was a FL car until a couple of years ago) 

with only 107,000 miles.

 Jerry got my Ez-Up in place for me over the skirting 

table. Now I need to find time to get some skirting done.

This is what came home with us yesterday after

being gone for 13 hours and 250ish miles.

A couple of llama fleeces, from 2 different

farms on opposite sides of the state of NH.

2 alpaca fleeces and 6 sheep fleeces from

2 farms in Stark, NH.

We left at 8 am and did not get home until 9 pm.

 Before I cleaned out the van, I let the sheep and 

llama out in the side 'yard'. Tomorrow or Saturday,

I will let them out on the house side of the driveway.

 One of my helpers. Callie Calico.

 We had no idea when we bought the van how big it

really was. My last van would fit a 4'x8' sheet of 

plywood like this van, but Jerry had to cut the corners

to make it fit. Not in this van. And, the llama chute

fits!!! We were just looking for a vehicle for long trips.

This is all a God inspired blessing! From the size of 

the van, to the condition, to the price, and that the 

person before us put in an expensive stereo system

with a CD player. It is wonderful to be able to listen

to the kind of radio we like as we travel NH, and 

eventually to CT. When we get a farm sitter...

 Ready for our next shearing trip.

No, Callie is NOT coming with us.

 Lazy llama laying in the grass, chowing down.

 2 4' gates across the width and 2 5' gates along 

the sides. We are picking up 2 Horned Dorset lambs

today, 1 ram and 1 ewe, from the gentleman that 

we are shearing for. It is great that everything fits!!
