Howdy folks—Last Wednesday evening I went with the Kenner’s for a birthday for my adopted granddaughter Claire down to the Biagio’s Bistro restaurant. This place was on 308 Ludlow Avenue in Cincinnati. The food was good. This was in the area of hospitals and the University. Mike drove and knew where we were going. I had no idea where we were and on the way back we traveled the same roads that we use to go to Lower Price Hill to serve food.

While I was up to Scott’s Auto Repair in Bethel getting some work done on my truck, a feller came in and Scott introduced him to me. He and his family have a farm on Bass Road off State Route 133 close to Bethel. I was surprised to learn they have a goat dairy herd so I went over there. They have three beautiful young ladies that take care of the goats and milk them. They have 26 baby goats and counting the babies they have 94 total goats.

They sell the milk to a company in northern Cincinnati. They make goat cheese and Jungle Jim’s store sells the cheese for them. They told me the Nashville Zoo is getting five of the babies. The babies were a few days old and would run and play. The adult goats will give 4 to 7 pounds of milk each day. The three young ladies take care of the goats and of course mom and dad are there to help if they need it. The girls put the hay and straw up in the barn. They also give farm tours.

Editor’s Note: In the print version and in the initial online version, the phone number to the farm was cut-off. To reach D&L Meadows farm, you can call 513-465-3259 or through its website.

They have built a new barn for the goats so they won’t be so crowded. They also have some sheep. The lady said next year they have requests for sheep milk so the young ladies will be milking them. They are about 3 1/2 miles out of Bethel on 133 to Bass Road. Their mailbox number is 3706. There is an old church on the right that is no longer in use. Turn on Bass Road and the farm is on the left back a short distance from the main road.

I went down to Red Lobster for a birthday celebration last Thursday evening for a young feller that was 18 years old. He will graduate from school this year. There were about 20 people there along with two babies and some young kids. It was a fine evening. The boy was very pleased with all the people there.

Now the Laurel Methodist Church is having a revival on October 13-16 at 7 PM. Rev. Ed Danley will be bringing the message each evening and on Sunday evening at 5:30 they are having a carry-in meal so fix something to eat and come and enjoy the folks. Paula and I will be there.

Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord.

God bless all . . .
