In the Beginning....

I've never "journaled" anything! I think about it but never follow through - I think about a lot of things but never follow through! Anyway, I am going to attempt to chronicle the development of my dream - I've finally found what I want to do "when I grow up".

SO, welcome to Doaks Creek Farm! The actual farm is owned by my daughter, Cameron, and her husband Danny. It is located in MS just north of Canton, which is just north of Madison, which is just north of Jackson. I live in Madison. The farm consists of 18 acres and is currently home to my 2 grandchildren (Landyn (a girl who is 4) and Brendon (BOY who is 23 months), 2 golden retrievers (George and his mother Honey that Cameron already owned), Molly a blue heeler, Daisy a "fox terrier", Jada a newly acquired mix puppy, Elwood the cat, and of course Cameron's Moe the pot bellied pig! Oh yes, Danny enjoys roping (cows) so you can add horses to this mix - "Wildfire" a miniature horse for the children, Dan and Rip his roping horses, and a yearling for future roping!

My dream career is a part of the mixture too. WELCOME to The Alpacas of Doaks Creek Farm!! I have purchased 3 females and 1/2 interest in a male from Alpaca Jack's of Findlay, Ohio, with the intent of growing a herd and hopefully making a living from it - Is there life after real estate??

Hopefully, I will record the events leading up to this and how it develops in the future, plus pictures. I am being ambitious at least in my thoughts! In the mean time this is enough meandering for my first entry.

Who knows what an Alpaca is????
