Hey Team,

A friend of mine entered an essay contest to win angora goats for her farm. Yes, this is complete and utter bias, but she is a good person, a good friend, and runs a lovely farm. Her farm is an investment in her future and the future of her children, two of whom are autistic. In a nutshell (ho ho) she has started a walnut farm to support her dependent children in her old age and beyond. The goats would be a great addition to her farm and for her future planning.

I know she agonized over the writing and editing of this and her friends are very excited for her. I gladly looked at drafts for her, but I really had no comments to make! If you think she has written a worthy essay, I hope you will cast a vote for her. (Note: if you are two or more people on one computer, know that they are monitoring for ballot box stuffing!) Thanks for considering.

NB: An IE person just told me they could not get in with a direct link. If you have trouble, try accessing the main site, and my friend’s name is Veronica Tuggle-Welch, and it is the Goat Giveaway. VOTING ENDS FRIDAY!!
