It has been such a long time since I've posted a blog on this site. I was so disillusioned when I realized my posts were not only being read, but printed and used against me, by the Board of Equalization. I really miss documenting my adventures, and have decided to start again in 2010.
I am ending 2009 with 7 females; Princess, Vanilla Sundae, Starr, Meg Ryan, Norma Rae, Pati Cake and Creme Brulee. No crias this year. Yet, I'm expecting new arrivals from Pati Cake in June, Norma Rae in July, and Starr in September, 2010.
Creme Brulee entered her first show, AlpacaFest West, in November 2009 and won 4th place out of a class of 7. I was so proud of her, and feel she did very well for her first show. This was the first time I've competed against Rick (All American Alpacas) in the same class. His girl, Winter Rayne, took 1st! She certainly deserved it, as she is magnificent. I expect to show Creme Brulee in 3 or 4 shows in 2010.
Felix, Alpha and Rasta now live in Sage, CA and will be part of a petting farm for special needs children. Rockstarr now lives in Aguanga, CA, with some new best friends, including a sheep that thinks it's an Alpaca. From what I hear, the sheep loves Rockstarr and he is quite a hit in the neighborhood.
I'll be spending Christmas Eve with my sister and her family, and Christmas Day with Rick & Pati Horn of All American Alpacas at a holiday celebration at Joe & Susan Attili's farm (La Dolce Vita Alpacas in Ramona, CA). New Year's tradition (for the past 4 years for me) is a great day at All American Alpacas, complete with Pati's famous chili and lots of libation. My daughters are going to Washington to spend the holidays with my Washington daughters, son in law and grandchildren. I have too much work to do, so I opted to stay home.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, and may 2010 be a great year for us all.
