*************News from Bellepacas!!*******************

  
Hi Everyone!  Wow!  It's been several weeks since I've sent out my weekly email, and, to be frank, I really miss sitting down and thinking about what I'd like to share.  This week's news has been long in the planning stage, and now, we're ready to formally make our announcement!  As most of you know, this has been a most challenging year, especially for Jack with his many serious health concerns that began just about a year ago.  On many levels, the challenge becomes, not just for the person going through it, but also for those who surround and love him.  By the summer, Jack was forced to retire from his cattle breeding business, although he has been able to continue his very part-time nitrogen route at many dermatological clinics from St. Augustine in the north to Sebastian, in Indian River County.  Meanwhile, in the Spring we decided to sell the farm next door, to help lighten our financial load.  Jack has made a fantastic recovery, considering how ill he was, but that bucket of cold water in the

face finally hit both of us!  And so--- we're putting our beautiful Bellepacas farm on the market, and moving back to my house in Sugar Mill, in New Smyrna Beach.  We are in the final stages of getting everything ready here on the farm so it's all spic and span, while bringing the Sugar Mill house into the 21st century!!  I love renovations so that's really no problem.

We're hoping to sell the Oak Hill property as a working farm, complete with animals and equipement,  quite a considerable amount of inventory.  Many of you who have been here often know how beautiful this location is- we call it "our piece of paradise"!  If you or folks you know might be interested in its purchase, please contact me, and I'll be happy to furnish all particulars.  Meanwhile---

                                 *****************Friday at the Farm!!******************e

We'll be meeting here this Friday and until further notice for our lovely tradition of inviting fiber artists of all types and animal lovers who like to visit the farm down each Friday from 1-5 p.m. to share ideas, projects, and the 4 F's, as I call them- food, friends, fiber, and and fun!  I do hope you'll be able to join us! 


And, of course, Jack will have the Farm Shop! As Thanksgiving sneaks in the back door, don't forget our wonderful array of gifts from around the  world and right here in central Florida!  We offer hand-woven rugs and scarves, as well as hand-knit apparel and household items.  We have lovely sewing and knitting accessories, and, of course, scads of skeins- of yarn!! 


So, until further notice, here is our weekend schedule:

Friday at the Farm/Farm Shop- 11/19- 1-5 p.m.
Farm Shop- Saturday, 11/20- 10 a.m.- 4 p.m.
Farm Shop- Sunday, 11/21- 1-4 p.m.

Cheers!  And I hope we'll see you somewhere along the way!
