Where are we going?

There are some plans in the works for a bunch of us to meet in October, at Becky's (Paynoattetionmanbehindcurtain) place in Oklahoma. Her place is the most centrally located. It would be fun to get together and do some riding. It would be quite a haul for us, but if we made plans to stop at different boarding places on the way, maybe it would not be too bad.

I am planning on buying a new trailer with a living quarters, pretty soon. Having someone else to travel with me, would be much better. Your work schedule might interfere though.

When I grew celery, it was suggested to put a cardboard milk carton around the stalks. Suppose to make them grow tighter. You certainly could use those leaves in soups or salads, if the stalks do not grow real big.

That is amazing how the plant took off like that.

The Pony Express picture is so neat! I just love it. Nice mare, nice and tall, but she sure did gray out! No spots at all in the last picture.

I used to have one like that. We were so poor when we first got married that we couldn't afford a refrigerator. It kept everything really cold.

That last pic is HYSTERICAL!

"Cigarette?" "Thanks."

[CindyDawg]

I finally got my sign up and it was SPELLED WRONG. They fixed it though. My husband and I have been running all over town today. We have a new Church and Wendys (next to each other) that just opened. We ate and watched outside as "Wendy" beat up the "Chicken" :') It was cute.

:) You can still see her spots when she's wet but that's about it. She turned into a real good mare.

We need pictures of that copper stuff when you are finished. I bet it's really pretty.

[tuffydoodle]

Is celery not damaged by freezing temps? If nothing else, it's a really pretty plant. I think it would look nice in a flower bed.

[tuffydoodle]

I think they had the cigarette before falling asleep.

[MissTargets]

Good Morning all!

Is celery not damaged by freezing temps?

Evidently not... it was out there for the worst part of winter! :~) ~shrugs~

Good morning everyone! We just got back from a sinful breakfast of truck stop pancakes and bacon :~o

[tuffydoodle]

Sounds heavenly...

[Duchess47]

Good morning,

I'll take a picture or two when I get the display up :) It's amazing how it looks fine up on the walls in the kitchen and when I take it down, it's so dusty and dirty. I should have been collecting something that doesn't need dusting and/or polishing.

[Duchess47]

Good morning :) Hope you have a great day.

[Duchess47]

Good morning,

We were going to go out to breakfast this morning and then drive to California and get lottery tickets. We decided we didn't really want to leave Friday alone and it looks like snow in the mountains anyway.

Wow, I ~love~ the retro Coke machine! That would be so cool to have at our stable.

[tuffydoodle]

Thanks! Isn't it fun? Works great, too.

I just love antiques. Reminds me of a simpler time. Also, cokes in those little glass bottles always taste better. The machine gets so cold that there are little ice chips floating in the cokes. Very refreshing on a hot day after mucking stalls.

[HairOfTheDog]

I barely remember hot days .... :~\
