My first annual Honduran blog post

Heh, see, what I did up there?  So I've been here a full year now.  We're celebrating Dia del Independencia for Central America.  Its kind of neat because I can remember the things that we did last year for this holiday.  This past year has gone by SOOO fast.  Its had its ups and downs, but its been quite wonderful.  I thought I'd make a post to mark the occasion.

We put 5 goats in the white truck the other day.  How did you like that face full of information?  We tied of 2 of the goats by all 4 legs and stuck them in the bed of the truck.  Two of the goats we had tied by the horns to the rail-guard standing up.  The last goat we bound and put in the back seat of the truck.  The truck smelt like.....goat.  Goats don't smell so great.  If you're ever in Bath and Body Works, and you're deciding between Country Lane and Goat...... don't pick Goat.  Nobody wants that in a basket for Christmas.  If wash your hands with Goat scented soap, you will immediately want to wash your hands with a non-Goat based soap.  Goat poop actually hides the real scent of goat.  If you have a sinus infection and a goat in the back seat of your car, God has blessed you.  The only upside of goat-roping is that if builds friendships.  Kind of like mending fences makes good neighbors right?  My short story would be called, "if you tie up a goat and lift him into the back of a truck with another man, your relationship with that man will be better afterwards than it was before."  I would read that.  Robert Frost can fly a kite.  I'll need a good illustrator.

Thanks for reading this.  Check back in next year for my Second annual Honduran blog post.  Have a good year.

  1. You are doing a good job there goat wrangler. Missed you when we went to Tennessee yesterday. Everybody asked about you. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks. I think I'm going to make a card board cut out of you so that I can occasionally carry it by Aubrey and say uncle Ben uncle Ben over and over so that she knows who you are when you come back every 3 months.
