The "Billy Joe" part of our farm name is a tribute to my wonderful father in law who passed away from pancreatic cancer.  He was a Southern gentleman, through and through.  Although he was the son of a sharecropper, worked hard on the farm as a kid and swore he wouldn't grow up to be a farmer, he loved what we are doing on our homestead.

In his younger days, Billy Joe was a disc jokey, and today I was sent this song...it was the theme song for the opening of his radio show.  RIP, Billy Joe, you were a great man.

Linda, I have some website tweaking to do for sure. It's tough to find the time with all the websites I'm running now, plus the farm!

Is there a different format that you are used to? I thought you just had to put in your name and email, am I mistaken?

Thanks for your input,

Tina
