My sweetest horsie!

Yesterday, he came all the way across the paddock where he was standing with his buddy when I came in the gate. Then later, after my lesson, after his bath and after grazing for a while, he came over to me and stretched out his head and put it right in my arms so I could pet his forehead. He just stood there like that really soft and quiet.

Poor horse

Pictues of a horse at our stable. How can the owner let this happen?? Why will no one do anything?

coffee cup


2 platters

There were originally 12 place settings and most of it is there! My mother says she got the set as a wedding present (1916) but according to an internet site, the mark on the back was not produced until 1936. Hmmm.

Anyway, I'm glad I had it sent from Florida last week. Thank you ups store man!!! If, in the future, anyone needs bubble wrap or packing peanuts, just ask me for some.

Serious cost cutting trip to FL this time. Way too much money is being spent. I got my mother 4 pairs of wash and wear pants and 5 new tops (Target) and for my father 4 pairs of no iron Dockers. Sister, no more linen pants and silk shirts and fancy tops and skirts from t-albots for them!!! No more $100/week cleaning bills please, plus the cost of the errand lady.

Next is to figure out the actual living situation. I was supposed to look into it last week and did not do it and did not do it today either. lasis is disgusted with me.
