Missouri/Vandy game

My friend, Marco Harris, is working at Missouri now. They came to Nashville to play Vanderbilt so we came over to the game. It was so nice to see him. After the game we played board games at Taylor's house.

March trip to Tazwell - Mountain Hollow Farm

So my March trip was to Mountain Hollow Farm in Tazwell. I  have been there before on a yarn crawl. I really liked the yarn shop there.
It is a great yarn shop which also carries some fiber. 
The shop is on the Mountain Hollow Farm and every Thursday and Saturday in March, they comb the goats to get their cashmere fiber. Since Marian likes goats so much, it looked like a perfect trip for us. She had a great time. I'm not as big a fan of goats, but I did comb one. 

This is the cashmere you comb off the goats.

This is how they restrain the goats so you can comb.

The big goat was trying to get to the food. She is a milking goat.

Marian being silly.

I hate this picture was so dark, but this is Marian combing her goat.

Afterward we went to a local fabric shop. Didn't buy anything. :( Then we found a local diner and had a great burger and fries. It was a fun day!
