TCB – Alpaca Farmgirl Style

Elvis TCB Belt Buckle
When I get overwhelmed my friend Anne tells me to “Take Care of Business”. She told me once that Elvis used to give his cronies aka, the Memphis Mafia, these belt buckles and rings and things with the insignia “TCB” which stood for “take care of business”. This sounds like a good mantra to me.
During the first 9 months of this year my mind had been distracted by my personal life. After basically ignoring the business side of things, getting back to it was pretty overwhelming. But I am definitely feeling ready now to get back to work.
So in the spirit of “taking care of business” I have been gearing up for Fall with the first Alpacas 101 in a year to be held November 6th. And a big sale on our breeding stock. Due to my divorce I can no longer care for so many alpacas on my own. And I really need to focus on my kids this year too. So I am offering my alpacas for sale at 40% off list price!
Don’t forget our ALPACA FARM IS FOR SALE.
We also have 45 acres of beautiful land for sale in Tennessee (below).
