LOL...but good idea:)
I've been meaning to tell you I already had your address. I'll pick up some papers tomorrow when I'm in town, and get them in the mail.

Hey, I don’t wanna ask over on HH because I just occasionally lurk over there, but what happened to g’nad?
Well, I think it’s been announced now... I think the early explanations were in FRMail.
He had a brain tumor a few to several years ago now. Was removed, it caused considerable physical challenges, loss of speech and mobility on one side of his body, that he had to overcome, which he did in large part, through sheer determination and force of will, and his faith.
He’s regularly been tested since, and a recent test found a recurrence. Another tumor in pretty much the same spot, I think. There was considerable risk that he would again lose some speech and mobility when it was removed, which happened yesterday, and apparently all signs are good after the surgery.
Wow, that’s awful about the tumor reoccurance, but I’m glad to hear that the surgery went well. He seems like a cool person and a great Dad. I’ll be praying for him and his family.
Pretty scary and it would make most of us faint...
He’s as strong as they come.
Well y’all, the picket-line is going up outside the main office, so I’m outta here. Expect me when you see me....
Yikes... OK - see you later!
Wow, that is too bad. I didn’t know anything about it.
Becky
He’s always been pretty quiet about it, he’s better as the tough Marine. I hope it can stay that way many more years to come now. ;~)
Wow - talk about a lucky kid. (and stupid)
Oh my - praying he has a complete recovery to full health.
Good Morning and Happy Friday!

Oooh yeah.
We froze last night. It’s been close the last few nights, but now I think there’s actual frost in the pasture.
By the way, does she show at all in the Heritage classes?
Pretty colors (I can see your morning glories are still hanging in there)
I was just going through my e-mails and found link to a good article in Equestrian Network Magazine on de-spooking trail horses. They've got some pretty good ideas for how to set up challenges for your horse during the off season in order to help them be more spook-proof.
Yes, she is the solid one, with the tank for a mother. She stays at the trainers, but if they bring her home for winter, I will take some more pictures. They didn't take the yearling colt, that is 2nd in the Nation, because of a growth spurt.
Judy doesnt show anymore and has not been on a horse in 2 years. She fractured her back from a fall off a 3 year old, so she cant take a chance of really messing herself up. They have trainers show their halter horses. That is what she breeds for.
I wish I had taken better pictures when my ex-SIL showed in the Nez Perce costume classes. We made the costume and I sewed beads all one winter. :) It sure was a fun class.
