    Day by day we're building our homestead here in Alaska. One year ago, we sold everything & headed West to continue our pursuit for a life of freedom & self sufficiency OFF GRID in ALASKA. We've built two homesteads from the ground up in Virginia, but this one is different because it's our forever home.
    The chickens will start laying this fall, and these sheep will provide dairy & meat for our family. No one is 100% self sufficient, and that's not our goal. Our goal is to do the best we can each day & most importantly grow as much of our own food as possible. Times are changing & it's crucial to know where your food comes from and what's IN IT!
    Alaska naturally provides wild game & an array of delicious fish & birds for our family. Adding the sheep to our homestead just sweetens the deal. They're smaller than cows, they eat less and are so easy to maintain. Plus their meat & milk is delish! Today, we're picking up our new flock of Icelandic/Shetland cross sheep, inviting you to come along for the ride! Also, sadly, we are sharing some sad, unexpected news with you…Thanks for comimg along for another video.

    I lost my grandma/mom last September 5th, she was 96. She adopted me from her oldest daughter who was 19 and in college at the time. She raised me and was my mom and grandma. Even at 96, we still didn't expect it. She was healthy and strong and getting around good but she fell and hit her head and we had her go to the hospital. Nothing was broken and she was doing good then ended up getting covid in the hospital, ended up with covid related pneumonia and was gone within a month. We were blessed that she was able to come home and with the help of hospice passed peacefully at home with my sister and I. I can absolutely relate with how much of a shock it can be, despite their age, they were doing good. Our comfort is the same as yours, mom loved the Lord and was ready to go home and we know we will see her again one day. You're in our prayers and just keep reminding yourself that he's in paradise and young again!! How amazing is that! God bless you guys. ❤️🙏

    My Daddy was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on my birthday 2016. He passed 5 days later. They told us 3-6 months. He was an independent man lived on his own. So 5 days shocked us. The one thing I know is my Momma came to get him and take him home with Jesus. He looked up to the corner said her name and smiled he went so peacefully. I was sad and happy at the same time. Sending all y’all love and prayers ❤❤❤❤❤

    I lost my Dad on October 30th 2018. He had congestive heart failure. He had trouble breathing so we called 911. I thought I was gonna send him to the hospital and they were gonna fix him and send him home. He passed on the way to the hospital. It happens so fast. I think of him every day. He lived with us for 10 years before he went home. My prayers are with you. My Dad was cremated as well. Joel P Swearingen was 74. He was saved and ready to go.

      I appreciate your concern. But, Nampa is dead so he CANNOT be in Alaska. Furthermore, you cannot have a conversation with the dead. It is dishonest and not comforting to someone who is grieving when you make such awful statements like that.

    • @juanikelly3005
      @juanikelly3005 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheresaPowers you must be one of those negative people she talks about! Yes, we can have a conversation with the dead. Do you not pray to Jesus, I do. I am a Catholic, so I also speak/pray to the Blessed Mother and Saints for intercession on my behalf. I speak to my deceased parents because I know some way some how they are still with us! As a matter of fact, I will pray for you too because you need it, we all need it! God bless you.

    So sorry Tina. What wonderful memories you have of your Nampa. He's just changed his address. I'm sure he's dancing and celebrating with your grandma. Doesnt make it easy on us down here but in the not too distant future you'll see him again. What a day of rejoicing that will be!!! Love your sheep. Everything is coming together. The homestead is looking good.

    • @TheresaPowers
      @TheresaPowers ปีที่แล้ว

      You are wrong. He died. He did NOT change his address. He is NOT dancing or celebrating anything at all. It is not good or helpful to make such awful statements. But Nampa was a Christian, so his soul is in Heaven.

    Tina, my girl, my heart goes out to you because in 2017 I lost two brothers from stage 4 lung cancer, and also lost my mom 5 months before they passed. My two brothers died twelve days apart. And now, I have a beloved nephew with cancer in his right lung as well and he is also retaining fluid and he might need a tube to drain it. My youngest sister was also diagnosed with uterine cancer as well. I'm crying with you because is hard to lose a love one. Your beloved grandpa showed how much he loved you and your family. Those are the beautiful memories that keeps us going. Don't feel bad because you weren't there. Everything happened to fast. I'm sending you and your family my prayers and hugs. God will give you all the strength you need. HE did the same for me. I love you all, my sweets! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

    Sweetie I am so sorry for your loss. Don't feel bad about your grandpa going to California. That's what he wanted so I am sure he was so grateful to y"all for helping him do that. I remember when my mom passed and I had been living with her. My daughter wanted me to move across country, and she held my heart, and so my mom told me to go even though I didn't want to leave her too soon. I knew she had been ill for awhile. She passed 2 months after my move. I did the same thing you did and blamed myself for not spending the time with her. My dad told me to stop it because my mom was so happy I went. She also looked forward to our (my daughter and her family) phone calls. We called almost every other day. God Bless your family, and I Hope you lean on the lord to get you through this time.❤❤❤

    Condolences from Virginia. God's plan was for him to have no more suffering and to be with your Grandma again. Life is indeed fragile. Our only guarantee for tomorrow is that will always be there for us all if we let him in.

    Tina, my sincerest condolences. My dad lived with me the last 3 years of his life. He was 80 when I took him to the airport and put him on a plane to visit his best friend who lived out of state. He called me every night while gone. I missed his call on Friday eve. He died soon after. I will always have his last recorded message in my mind….”hey gal, I miss you. I’ll see you on Sunday.” I will forever miss him, but I know I will be reunited with him in heaven. Please take care. Your message was powerful. Thank you for being you.

    I lost my nephew in August due to a drug overdose, I had to cut all ties with him before he passed because my heart could no longer see him go down that road. I have so much guilt that his last days I didn’t see him. I’m thankful that his battle is no longer and is no longer struggling. Sending you a big virtual hug heart❤

    Tina, surprise Joe, get the Log Spliter. You both will be so happy that you have one. Both boys can use it. Plus, it will free up Joe for other projects and clearing the trees. Also, get a kindling splinter it mounts on a tree or post, and the boys can use it. Joe's got to build a shelter for the sheep and wood, plus I'm sure several other projects. Those 2 items are on Amazon and will save Joe's back. Prayers and Hugs sent never easy when a loved one passes.
