Sure, but I'm not going to HIRE you to practice on my goats. You can pay ME to teach you, maybe."). There three most promising were invited out to interview, and I picked the one who impressed me the most and had a decent reference. <br />I'm paying $250. That's cheap, I know, but maybe they can sell all the eggs and make a bit more!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-17728320158505368952010-06-07T12:21:47.911-07:002010-06-07T12:21:47.911-07:00And just watch...everything will go swimmingly and...And just watch...everything will go swimmingly and you'll kick yourself for not relaxing and having fun.<br /><br />That's how it goes for me every single time. :)ChristyACBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18396628757148282551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-33357889854937885932010-06-07T09:06:04.082-07:002010-06-07T09:06:04.082-07:00Hi there.

We are working on coverage for our 2 week trip to Australia at the end of August and heck or high water, we are going on this trip! So, if I don't find the right sitter, the llama will have to be in charge of feeding the sheep. Thanks in advance. (And have a wonderful trip!)<br />MarianneMariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993015456186049234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-77587699579423864702010-06-07T07:01:41.668-07:002010-06-07T07:01:41.668-07:00so funny.

We are headed out on Thursday, too, and I am smack in the middle of writing my instructions for our farm sitters.<br />We are only gone for 4 days, though. Have a great time in Mexico!sunset pines farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826327863570459271noreply@blogger.com
