Look out! Dr. Seuss is on the Loose!! Why on Earth would someone wear a hat like that??
LOL! I think it’s just so awesome this age we live in. My husband did quite a lot of sighing before he left for work. :) Men!
Thanks .. I found some info .. ;)

The black saddle horses are mostly Irish draught.
So sweet. Simply beautiful!

Sniff .. Ditto!
Diana's brother Charles Spencer has red hair.
Yes, Beatrice’s outfit is nice (minus the hat) and she’s lost a ton of weight. Eugenie used to be the pretty one. Now it looks like she’s wearing Beatrice’s old clothes!
EPIC hat FAIL!
