I want to add my thanks to all who worked on the new Record Book. Too bad about not getting any of the super publications, Sue G, could it be your brand of toothpaste...? Just kidding, and remember, patience builds character... I also want to send a big thank you to Sally for changing the format of the roster so that I can now read the phone numbers. I'm too old for 979865354, for example, I need spaces in between. Good job! Also congrats to Sue B. and to Michelle N. We're still on foal watch. Sadie, the little [ok, big] dickens tortures us several times a night by lying on her side for about 15 minutes at a time grunting occasionally and pretending to have contractions. Then she gets up laughing and starts eating as though nothing is unusual. This is all a cruel ruse to keep whichever of us is in the tack room from sleeping, and to get us, instead, to come in and clean up her luxurious foaling stall and pet her. Last night I stood outside her stall in the dimness with my forehead pressed against the bars to keep me propped up on my feet during each of these little charades. I've given up on talking sweetly to her and do well just to keep upright and awake. Tonight it's Doug's turn. We have stopped arm wrestling over who gets to stay in the barn and are now thinking up shifty and sneaky ways to get out of our turns. At least I am. Of, course, I have totally retained my usual good humored nature, unlike some people I could name.... I'd like to add to what Gayle said about Horsin Around; we've had consistently great experiences with them. We did have northern lights a while back - bands of white (no colors). We have had the awesomely colorful kind in the past. Of course, with the foal watch dragging on, who knows what we'll be seeing. Bye, Peg Knutsen - Ellensburg, WA http://www.eburg.com/~kffjord/
