Where in the world have I been?

We had a death in our family.  My sister's fiance died very unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago.  My parents took him back to Knoxville, Tennessee for a short visit with his family on a Tuesday morning and by Tuesday evening he was dead.  While we don't know what really happened, he was pretty beat up.  We made a flying trip to Knoxville for the funeral. He was only 38.

As you can imagine, my sister is pretty tore up.  I have been spending my time farming, running my little business and helping her.  She seems to have gotten over the initial shock stage and is into the mourning stage.  But as she has 3 young children at home, she knows she needs to carry on as best she can.

I am asking all to pray for her and the kids.  Also for Phillip's family in Knoxville.  Losing someone is tragic but losing someone so young and in a violent and unexpected way is unimaginable. 

Hope to post updates on the farm and fam soon.  Thanks for being patient with me and ...
See ya on the farm,
Charlotte
