Friendship Moments: good or bad
Hopalong:
Turned out to be 15 people! I'm still blissed out and don't think I'll wait another decade to do it again. WISH I knew how to post pix with a PM, would send to all'a y'all.
xxxooo

I would love to see pics, Hops! I can smell the goats and feel their fur! Just love love love petting zoos!
Hopalong:
What's special about this place is that it is a real rescued-animals farm sanctuary, nothing zoo-ey. It's not open to the public or selling tickets. It's a pretty quiet nonprofiit that's gradually building its profile in small steps. Such kind people and the animals all acted like they knew they'd landed in heaven. Peaceful, relaxed, almost no squabbling, friendly, curious and very into baby carrots.
No idea why the owners responded as they did to my email but I'm so glad they did. What I loved just as much was seeing this group of 15 friends (most 70+ ish) tap back into their child-selves and enjoy patting and talking to all these sweet creatures who gathered at the fences to say hello. Showed me other sides of these people. And also to see the little groups of people I know (who don't know each other) overlap, mingle and enjoy chatting with each other.
Whole thing really lifted my spirits in a huge way, like a celebration of life, nature's beauty, and love.

I can't think of a better way to spend a birthday, Hops.
The owners likely responded the way they did, bc you're a great writer with an amazing heart..... how could they say NO to your request? They couldn't: )

Hopalong:
Thanks, ((((Lighter)))) for those kind words.
Still going back and forth with owner. I'd like to support in a real way but not with donations of money, so I've proposed doing marketing copy and/or edits if they're open to it. Already have plans to take a friend who CAN donate and her g-dtr out in June.
Yay! Re-visit my new friends the rescued cowspigsgoatssheepchickens! Woo hoo! This will be months of therapy in one, each time I go.
hugs
Hops
