So last week came and went without a post. I was caught up in the idea of home and then actually being at home. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it marks the beginning of the holiday season and I also just love canned cranberry sauce.

Alpaca Adventuring
I don’t know what it was that possessed me to call up the Harvard Alpaca Ranch on the phone.
