So, I should start out with, I am a city girl (I use this term girl loosely). All my life I lived in the city. I grew up with the hustle, bustle, and sounds of a big city, the quick heart beat of society, and at the age of 62, I wanted out! It was all too much, I was tired of work , fed up with people, and sick of spending my life on the freeway. I quit!
After reading an article about a stock broker who bought a farm, raised goats, made cheese and became well off; I thought, I could do that. I like farms, especially ones away from the city -- a long way from the city. Goats are good, too; they’re cute creatures. Sure, maybe goats? Just as I was toying with the goat idea, I saw an alpaca. It was love at first sight. They should come with a WARNING: “They steal your heart, and are very, very addictive.”
A month later, I and three alpaca and moved to the new farm. I called it “The Abbey” and decided to name all the animals, "The little sisters and brothers of The Abbey”.
