The last few weeks have been busy. For those few hardy souls who enjoy reading this blog, you notice that nothing has been posted for about a month. We at Buddha Belly Farm have just been too busy with other pressing matters.
For those of you who don’t know, my dad had a stroke about three weeks ago. At the time, he was visiting in Missouri taking care of some things at his house he’s trying to sell. It was a minor stroke, but he ended up being taken first to the local hospital and then to the hospital in the Baptist Home for the Aged. I was on a business trip at the time in Georgia and cut the trip short to meet Linda (my sister) in Missouri to check on Dad and see what needed to be done.
Based on our own observations and after consulting with those in the know, it was determined that Dad should immediately be admitted into the assisted living center at the Baptist Home for the Aged.
At first, he expressed some concern about being in the Home, but after signing all the paperwork and recognizing that everyone he knows is nearby, he is now resigned to the situation.
The Baptist Home is where Dad wanted to be when the time came and had recently applied for an apartment there. He still wants to be on his own, but that is now impossible. Looks like his traveling days are over as he now needs daily assistance.
At this point in most blogs, it is customary to appeal for donations and contributions to provide for Dad’s daily needs. This is not necessary as the Baptist Home is an excellent charity-based and charity prone facility that will take care of Dad regardless of his ability to pay.
So, that is the gist of the matter. Not much update for three weeks of activity. But, as you know, I am a man of few written words.

Buddha Belly Farm is situated in Newalla, OK, on Danger Lane, just down the road from Buddha Mind Monastery (no affiliation). We are a non-profit agency simply because we have never made a profit. However, we have been quite successful at growing all types of weeds in the garden, and have even cultivated a hybrid ragweed that resists all attempts to kill it. Currently, we are experimenting with cat herding and perpetual dog feeding, both of which promise to be quite sustainable.
