Maybe someone found it and will make something lovely with your wool. <BR/><BR/>Glad to see you back - I was about to email & see it you were OK.

I wonder if there were a lot of siblings. Me, I'm a product of relatively recent European imports, but I still enjoy American history.<BR/><BR/>Becca, we fly in and out of Omaha! Shoot!<BR/><BR/>And I totally agree with you on the racing industry. There's no way my husband could be a track vet because of the things that go on there. But there are a lot of nice thoroughbreds to go on to other disciplines after track training/racing, and have a good life. That's the upside. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-15520711443962628132007-11-16T16:07:00.000-08:002007-11-16T16:07:00.000-08:00It is interesting to see a picture of the statue o...It is interesting to see a picture of the statue of Secretariat, I once worked with a great grandson of his in Georgia at a two year old training facility. He was a gorgeous animal! I have worked with many race horses, but he was my favorite. Although (or because?) I love horses, I have no desire to see them race or even to see *where* they race. Having been so close to the industry, I saw things that I did not agree with and decided I didnt want any part of it any more.<BR/>Glad to know you're home and safe, and healthy?

Brian won't remember his hacking miserable cold, but he will remember romping with his cousins. Family is so important - it's the only thing we can't buy or change. I understand the depth of your loss though. I left my daughter's silver infant spoon on the plane and suffered the same outcome. I still feel it to this day.

Who knows what happened to it....<BR/><BR/>That top photo shows a brown field, but I think that was the only one we saw; all the others were lush and green. They had a severe drought this summer, but had a lot of rain this fall. We were told that the odd weather was why there was still fall color when we were there in November. You really should go; it was great!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-24747035180934942792007-11-16T06:44:00.000-08:002007-11-16T06:44:00.000-08:00Bummer on losing your knitting bag.

There are still good souls who would probably return it if they knew where to. I love that rock fence in the one picture. It looks pretty dry there. I wonder if they are having drought? I've always wanted to go to 'Bluegrass' Country and I don't live that far away!<BR/>Good to have you back.<BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.com
