 Trench Coats and Counting the Gum

## Trench Coats and Counting the Gum

**🐄 The Girls Have Arrived: A Farm Life Dream Come True! 🌿**

---

**I am living the life!** The girls arrived on **Friday**, and I was **waiting at the gate** for their arrival. We’ve been waiting for this moment for **nine whole months**. Finally, we heard the truck coming up the hill with the trailer in tow. And lo and behold, we were ready to **welcome Mama and baby to their new home** at Daniel’s farm.

---

### **Meet Hyacinth and Clover 🌼**

**Red Devon cows** are known as a **triple-purpose breed**—they can be **dairy, beef, or breeding cows**. Did you know they first arrived in America in **1623**—just one bull and three heifers? They’re **perfect for New England winters** and actually **prefer sleeping outdoors year-round**!

Daniel chose **electric fencing** because it was **quick and easy to put up**. Eventually, he may install **permanent fencing**. One strand is enough for the cow, but the calf needs two, so he installed both.

We enjoyed watching the cows **unload, wander into the pasture, and start grazing away**. These cows look black, but if you look closely, you can see **red shining through**. After seeing them, we started tossing out name ideas. Rachel wanted **floral names**, and the final choices were **Hyacinth for Mama** and **Clover for the female calf**.

---

### **Farm Life Joy 🌾**

Now, when the kids wake up in the morning, they **rush to the windows to look at the cows**. What a life for these kids! And I am **delighted and so blessed** to live just **ten minutes down the road**. Farm life **delights my soul**.

---

# **n And Then There Were Three! And Then There Were None! When Daniel was eleven, we moved to a four-acre property in central Massachusetts. It wasn’t long before he came to me and announced he wanted to get goats. “Goats?” I exclaimed. “Why goats?” “Because there is too much grass to cut,” he replied. “Well, if you want goats, what if we get sheep instead? I’ve always wanted sheep.” “No,” Daniel said, “sheep gnaw the grass down to the ground, and you have to rotate their pastures, but goats don’t do that. It will be much easier to have goats.” I answered, “Before you get goats, I want you to have experience with goats.” Daniel’s Goat Adventure Begins Daniel had done his homework and found a goat farm a few miles up the road. (I’ve never seen it, but somehow he knew about it!) We went to Crystal Brook Farm a few days later and met Ann, the goatherd. Ann, with a generous smile, asked how she could help us. Not wanting to do the talking for Daniel, I remained silent. Daniel remained tall and straight and didn’t say a word. I nudged him a bit and asked him why we were there. Stiffly and formally, Daniel blurted out: “I want to come to work for you, and you don’t have to pay me!” Ann and I both laughed at his directness. She then told us to come back on Sunday afternoon, and she would talk over his proposal. We arrived back at the farm on the appointed day, and within a few minutes, Daniel had a job as a farmhand at the goat farm. Thus began a friendship that has continued to this day, 24 years later. The Goat Trio (and Then Some!) Soon, it was Daniel’s birthday, and Ann gave him two male goats. He named them Sherlock and Mr. Tumnus after characters in some of his favorite books. (Those of you who are Narnia fans will undoubtedly know Mr. Tumnus!) Daniel, even at age 11, was incredibly responsible. I could trust him with anything. Never did he whine or complain about caring for the goats. They were his pride and joy, and he spent much time caring for them while they spent much time keeping the grass “cut.” They quickly learned to unzip his red jacket, though they never mastered zipping it up. A year after Daniel started his goat herding venture, he bought a female goat. So, we had three goats. When I commented on this fact, Lizzie said: “Mom, did you know that the goat is pregnant?” “What? Pregnant! Well, I suppose four goats are not much more than three.” Daniel spoke up with my dad’s smirk and said: “Well, they typically have twins but can have triplets!” The Great Rose Bush Incident Daniel was a steady worker on his little goat farm. He and Eric built the goat shed, which we painted “barn red” to match our barn. He installed a wire and electric fence, which worked great—until the grass grew high and shorted out the current. During that time, the goats jumped right over the fence. And guess where they headed? Right to my prized David Austin roses. Not my white Winchester Cathedral! And my pink Elizabeth! And my Shropshire Lad! Eaten to the ground. Yes, all three rose bushes eaten to the ground. (If you are a rose enthusiast, you know these British roses are not cheap!) After a trim, all was working well again. So just know that if you are using electric fencing, you must keep the grass cut around it. Fencing Solutions for Your Goats If goats are your desire, we carry a terrific sheep and goat fence. Check it out here. We can also provide you with an electric fence, though I prefer a permanent fence for goats as they are clever, curious, and always entertaining! Warm regards, Debbie Page CEO, Louis E. Page Inc.

 A Diamond in the Rough: A Life Lesson Learned (And Why Fences Matter)

## 💎 A Diamond in the Rough: A Life Lesson Learned (And Why Fences Matter) 🪵

**💎 A Diamond in the Rough: A Life Lesson Learned (And Why Fences Matter) 🪵**

You know how when you’re young, you sometimes make **quick judgments**? I *thought* I’d outgrown that by now—but life has a way of reminding us.

Back in **1974**, I was **20 years old**, spending a summer on **Tybee Island** near Savannah, Georgia, volunteering at a tiny church. That’s where I met **Ann**.

---

### **Judging a Book by Its Cover 📖**

I’ll admit it—I **dismissed her at first glance**. There I was, a **"girly girl"** in dresses, ribbons in my hair, and bows on my pink and green shoes (hey, it was the **early ‘70s**!). And then there was **Ann**: jeans, a tucked-in masculine shirt, heavy work boots. I’d never met a woman who dressed like that.

But **Ann saw something in me**—or maybe she just saw *through* me. She asked me to lunch at the **Olde Pink House** in Savannah. (Fun fact: That elegant old Southern mansion still serves **fantastic food** 50 years later. I still remember the **juicy hamburger and fries**—yes, food has always been a big part of my life!)

---

### **A Penny for Your Thoughts 💬**

As we ate, I felt **Ann’s depth and wisdom**. She asked **open-ended questions** that made me open up. At one point, I grew quiet. She reached into her pocket, pulled out **two pennies**, and slid them across the table.

*"A penny for your thoughts,"* she said.

By the end of that day, I had a **new best friend**. Ann—my **diamond in the rough**—taught me to **let go of prejudices** and love someone completely different from myself. I’m **eternally grateful** for that lesson.

---

### **The Fence That Started It All 🪵**

Here’s the funny part: I still remember the **fence we walked along** in historic Savannah. Ann on one side, me on the other, my hand tracing the top rail as we talked and laughed. It’s amazing how our brains store these little details.

Now that I’m in the **fencing business**, my mind keeps retrieving **stories that involve fences**. And I realize: **Fences aren’t just barriers—they’re part of our stories**.

---

### **It’s Spring—Time to Buy Your Fence! 🌸**

Fences come in **all shapes, sizes, and materials**. Whether you’re looking for **traditional wood, sleek steel mesh, or even electric netting for chickens** (which, by the way, is **super handy** if you want to move your flock every few days—Daniel hooks his coop to his tractor and relocates it with ease!), we’ve got you covered.

**Let your imagination go wild!** Plan a life that includes a fence—maybe even **chickens**, or whatever else sparks your creativity. Then **call us at 978-486-3116** to make it happen.

# **n And Then There Were Three! And Then There Were None! When Daniel was eleven, we moved to a four-acre property in central Massachusetts. It wasn’t long before he came to me and announced he wanted to get goats. “Goats?” I exclaimed. “Why goats?” “Because there is too much grass to cut,” he replied. “Well, if you want goats, what if we get sheep instead? I’ve always wanted sheep.” “No,” Daniel said, “sheep gnaw the grass down to the ground, and you have to rotate their pastures, but goats don’t do that. It will be much easier to have goats.” I answered, “Before you get goats, I want you to have experience with goats.” Daniel’s Goat Adventure Begins Daniel had done his homework and found a goat farm a few miles up the road. (I’ve never seen it, but somehow he knew about it!) We went to Crystal Brook Farm a few days later and met Ann, the goatherd. Ann, with a generous smile, asked how she could help us. Not wanting to do the talking for Daniel, I remained silent. Daniel remained tall and straight and didn’t say a word. I nudged him a bit and asked him why we were there. Stiffly and formally, Daniel blurted out: “I want to come to work for you, and you don’t have to pay me!” Ann and I both laughed at his directness. She then told us to come back on Sunday afternoon, and she would talk over his proposal. We arrived back at the farm on the appointed day, and within a few minutes, Daniel had a job as a farmhand at the goat farm. Thus began a friendship that has continued to this day, 24 years later. The Goat Trio (and Then Some!) Soon, it was Daniel’s birthday, and Ann gave him two male goats. He named them Sherlock and Mr. Tumnus after characters in some of his favorite books. (Those of you who are Narnia fans will undoubtedly know Mr. Tumnus!) Daniel, even at age 11, was incredibly responsible. I could trust him with anything. Never did he whine or complain about caring for the goats. They were his pride and joy, and he spent much time caring for them while they spent much time keeping the grass “cut.” They quickly learned to unzip his red jacket, though they never mastered zipping it up. A year after Daniel started his goat herding venture, he bought a female goat. So, we had three goats. When I commented on this fact, Lizzie said: “Mom, did you know that the goat is pregnant?” “What? Pregnant! Well, I suppose four goats are not much more than three.” Daniel spoke up with my dad’s smirk and said: “Well, they typically have twins but can have triplets!” The Great Rose Bush Incident Daniel was a steady worker on his little goat farm. He and Eric built the goat shed, which we painted “barn red” to match our barn. He installed a wire and electric fence, which worked great—until the grass grew high and shorted out the current. During that time, the goats jumped right over the fence. And guess where they headed? Right to my prized David Austin roses. Not my white Winchester Cathedral! And my pink Elizabeth! And my Shropshire Lad! Eaten to the ground. Yes, all three rose bushes eaten to the ground. (If you are a rose enthusiast, you know these British roses are not cheap!) After a trim, all was working well again. So just know that if you are using electric fencing, you must keep the grass cut around it.

Title: *Plumbing, Electrical, and Fencing: A Story About Strength and Mesh*

 

**A Year of Repairs and a Lifetime of Strength**

I was thinking about my dad today and wanted to share a story that always makes me smile.

When my dad was 77, he had what we jokingly referred to as *"his year of the knife."* First, he got a pacemaker (electrical). Then, he had a hernia repair (structural reinforcement, perhaps?). Finally, he underwent a triple bypass (plumbing). For the hernia repair, they used **polypropylene mesh**—a material that reminded me of the plastic mesh some of our customers use in their projects today.

After that eventful year, my dad, who had a strong constitution, went on to live to the ripe old age of 90. But what really stuck with me was his primary doctor’s sense of humor. At his next checkup, the doctor said:

> *"Well, Mr. Hoffman, we’ve repaired your plumbing and electrical systems, and reinforced the structure. As long as the roof doesn’t cave in, you’re good for another 20 years!"*

That sense of **resilience and humor** is something I admire and try to carry into all aspects of life, including our work at **Louis E. Page, Inc.**

---

### **Mesh That Holds Up—Just Like Dad**

Like the polypropylene mesh that helped support my dad’s recovery, the **plastic netting and mesh we offer** provide strength and reliability for a variety of applications—just on a very different scale.

Whether you need plastic mesh for:

- **Agricultural use**
- **Safety applications**
- **Garden enclosures**

We have a wide selection designed to suit your project’s specific needs. The mesh openings may be small, but the **strength and flexibility are substantial**—qualities my dad would’ve appreciated!

### **Let’s Build Something Strong Together**

You can explore our [plastic netting options](https://www.louispage.com/blog/page/4#) or give our expert, **Terry**, a call at **978-486-3116** if you have any questions or need recommendations for your next project.

Thank you for letting me share this story—it’s a reminder that no matter the challenges we face, **a little strength, a little humor, and the right support can go a long way.**

May you enjoy today with a laugh in it.

**— Debbie Page**

 Trench Coats and Counting the Gum

## Trench Coats and Counting the Gum

 Trench Coats and Counting the Gum

Despite the dreary weather yesterday, the city of Toulouse was a vibrant hub of activity. Shoppers, cyclists, and motorcyclists braved the rain, while the outdoor cafes adapted by moving their operations indoors when possible. The streets were a lively mix of colorful umbrellas and shopping carts, all heading toward the bustling Victor Hugo Market.

A Rainy Day in Toulouse  
We passed older women, young girls, and men donning their traditional French trench coats, even pedaling their bikes through the city. The rain didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s spirits.  
Daniel pointed out the chewed gum on the sidewalks, which entertained the five-year-old for several blocks, calling out the color and counting the abundance. (Maybe he was wrong, but it sure looked like chewed gum!)  
What a lovely way to spend a few hours on this cold, rainy day. With the three-year-old, five-year-old, and baby in tow, we strolled up and down the market’s aisles.

A Cheese Lover’s Paradise  
There are more cheeses than I have ever imagined, and though I don’t know what they are, I am a hardy one for trying anything that looks different. The artisans freely offer samples, so you know before you buy if this is a cheese you would enjoy. (I won’t attempt to tell you the names, as I don’t remember!)  
One particular cheese merchant made her goat cheese with fenugreek, which was delicious. The burrata was, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever eaten. Each day, we try several different cheeses and dried sausages. And all of us munch the crispy duck cracklings. The French merchant laughed as he watched the littlies gobble them up.

A Culinary Adventure  
Rachel and her friend embarked on a delightful culinary adventure, joining a food tour of the market. This immersive experience allowed them to taste a wide array of foods and wines from various merchants. While I, not being a drinker or a bread eater, chose not to participate, I knew the gastronomic journey would have been a delight. They returned with glowing reviews and a list of new items they were eager for us to try. The joy of being in a foreign land and exploring their cuisine—a truly unparalleled experience!

Fencing in Toulouse  
I don’t recall seeing a single fence today. Oh! However, because of the inclement weather, the carousel was fenced off with an expandable metal wall. I would have enjoyed watching how he pulled that fence around the giant merry-go-round!

A Little Mishap  
I took a spill on the sidewalk. I was holding the little guy’s hand, and he slipped, fell backward, and pulled me right over with him! It didn’t hurt, but he lost his confidence in Mimi for the rest of the walk. (It’s a good thing I spend part of each day on the floor stretching and strengthening!)

How Can Fencing Enhance Your Life?  
How can you use fencing to enhance your life? Is it for customers or for yourself? Fencing gives you peace of mind, so start shopping now!

 Confession: I Haven’t Gone Barefoot in Snow Yet (But My Toes Are Tingling to Try

**Confession: I Haven’t Gone Barefoot in Snow Yet (But My Toes Are Tingling to Try)

Let me spill some personal tea—about 10 years ago, I dove headfirst into this "grounding" lifestyle. Yep, I became THAT person—walking barefoot everywhere and sporting those funky barefoot shoes that made my friend Shannon ask, “Debbie, did you lose a bet?”  
The results? MIND-BLOWING. And I’m not one for exaggeration, partner.

My Grounding Journey  
Living in New England means dealing with winters so cold they’d make a polar bear reach for a sweater. My favorite grounding method? Squishing my toes into fresh, springy moss. There’s an almost electric zing that shoots straight up your spine—nature’s own lightning bolt of wellness. My close second? Beach sand between the toes. It’s like God’s own foot massage.  
Here’s my barefoot confession: Despite a decade of grounding, I still haven’t mustered the courage (or maybe the insanity?) to try barefoot snow grounding. It’s sitting at the top of my “Am I Brave Enough?” bucket list. This winter might be THE winter! (Send warm thoughts.)

The Science Behind Grounding  
This whole grounding journey got me thinking about parallels—how humans need proper grounding and how electric fencing systems absolutely demand it. (We don’t sell electric fencing here at Louis E. Page, but the principle is fascinating enough to make a farmer weep with joy.)  
When I kicked conventional shoes to the curb and started reconnecting with Mother Earth’s actual skin, my body practically sang hallelujah. My sleep went from “meh” to “magnificent.” Recovery time after long days shortened dramatically. My brain fog lifted like the morning mist on a summer day.  
The science? It’s not just hippie talk. Electricity needs a complete circuit to flow effectively. Same goes for your body, believe it or not.  
Those fancy researchers at the Journal of Environmental and Public Health confirmed what my tingling toes already knew—direct physical contact with Earth’s surface can reduce inflammation and improve sleep faster than you can say “take off your shoes.” The Earth’s natural electrical charge works like a vacuum cleaner for the free radicals in your body.  
Just like how those electric fence systems would be useless decorations without proper grounding, your body’s electrical system works LEAGUES better when occasionally reconnected to Earth’s natural charge.

Fencing and Grounding: A Surprising Connection  
Our high-quality wire mesh products at Louis E. Page can be part of various enclosure systems—and understanding principles like proper grounding helps ensure those systems last longer than a Vermont winter. The parallels between fence systems and human health? More connected than most folks realize!

A Quick Detour: Naked Dogs and Hotdogs  
In the little town of Lincolnton, North Carolina, there is a famous café on the square across from the Lincoln County Courthouse called City Lunch. They serve good ole country cookin’, including hotdogs. I’ve been told they sometimes sell upwards of 10,000 hotdogs in a day when supplying a fair or rally.  
When you order your hotdog, it comes with mustard, onions, chili, and slaw. If you want none of that, you order a naked (nekkid) dog. It’s a family tradition to order these chili slaw dogs whenever I’m in town.  
They only take cash, and they don’t have an ATM. A reputable source told me that the late owner, a delightful and friendly woman, Lynette Greer, took the cash home each night. By her death, she had a million dollars in cash in “safe” keeping. Urban legend? I don’t know.  
I hope she had a tall security fence, a burglar system, and a fireproof safe for all her money! Though she dressed simply and didn’t wear makeup, she was a smart, savvy woman and always had a smile for you. She made a fortune selling her hotdogs—the diner still serves up an average of 700 a day, and they fry chicken the old-fashioned way in a cast iron skillet every Thursday.

What Do You Need to Protect?  
What do you need to protect from the outside world? Hopefully, you aren’t keeping a million dollars of cash in your house! However, I hope you have a million dollars if that’s your dream.  
Fences will keep your children and your dogs in and keep the deer and foxes out.
