Still In Love After All These Years

Love you Mom and Dad!

The Goats at Young's Jersey Dairy

The goats are a huge draw at Young's. Young's is an operational farm near Yellow Springs, Ohio. They serve ice cream, made on site with the dairy products produced by their cows. There is also a homestyle restaurant, putt-putt golf course, driving range, wagon rides, tractor pulled cart rides, tractors to play on, and lots of other activities for the whole family. My favorite part is their "tator babies" with melted cheese dipping sauce and chocolate milk shakes. Their ice cream is to die for!

Kickin' back. Chillin'. This goat seems to walk to the beat of his own drum. Not to mention, he's flexible. Yoga anyone?

This one's for you Calvin! A snack shop named just for you!

This is what the cows do when the people aren't looking in Ohio. Dang, they've got a few things to teach those Colorado cows!

Beverly just turned 4 and was such a sweet little girl. She fed the goats, ate a bubble gum ice cream, road a train ride, ate lunch, and posed in these great little cut outs. I didn't have as much time to talk to her as Calvin, but will still seemed to get along really well. What a sweetheart!

Calvin is such a great little boy. Loves Rocks, loves running, loves bugs. He too enjoyed feeding the goats and was very impressed that the goat he was feeding was willing to "share" with others. Great job, Kimberly, instilling those values!

Here's Kimberly with her two children, Calvin (5) and Beverly (4). I was so happy we could get together at Young's Jersey Dairy near Yellowsprings, Ohio to catch up. Kimberly was my Statistics professor at Wright State University when I was a student there. While I was in college we would occasionally meet for lunch, where she was a great encouragement to me. When I graduated, we became good friends and corresponded mainly through e-mail and the occasional visit when I was back in Ohio. For a time, she was even my spiritual mentor. Despite up and down times in my life, she has always done her best to be a good friend.
