On highway 80, a rest stop is dedicated as the Blue Star Memorial Highway.

HGF Meara is a beautiful Grand Champion French Angora bred by Eric and owned by Betty.

 
Her coat is still nice but at one year old it's time for her to "produce".
 

She is receiving a hair cut.
 

The bare top reveals a very deep body.
 

Meara produces over 6 ounces of wool that spins into 190 yards of beautiful yarn.
 


In addition to producing 190 yards of yarn, Meara also produces 4 healthy and fat bunnies.
