I was selected to be in the 2009 Edition of Presidential Who's Who, but couldn't afford to be in the book. It cost about $850.

Springfield Farm

-
DH & I went to Springfield Farm this past Saturday.

They have free range animals there. Normally, when supermarket packaging says "free range" it means that there is a door to a dirt yard in the side of the animals' building. Normally, chickens stay inside because that's where the food and water is. At Springfield Farm, they put the food and water far from the building so that all of the chickens actually run around outside. This helps keep the chickens healthy and disease free.
We saw a hillside of chickens and bought eggs so fresh they hadn't made it into the fridge yet.

The farm will be getting young pigs and lambs soon. They also do turkeys for the holidays. I look forward to going back there with my camera and getting some beautiful shots of the farm's rolling hills, green grass and happy animals.

Giving Back - HopeWell Cancer Support

Last week, Sanctuary Studios donated a framed print of a border collie and an angora rabbit to HopeWell Cancer Support, located in Lutherville, Maryland, inside a large mansion. HopeWell is a community support system for cancer patients, their families and friends. They run a full schedule of activities including yoga, quilting and meditation.

I found this organization through my mother. She found HopeWell after my Dad was diagnosed with inoperable cancer two years ago. He is doing very well on medications that help to keep the cancer from spreading.

HopeWell was happy to take the donation, but they don't know when they will be able to hang it up.
