When my husband passed away we kept only one of his mares. She lives at my daughter's farm and she's 25. (Same age as my daughter.) She's come close to dying, but she's always been a fighter, and my daughter's 4-H games horse. They've had lots of fun over the years and I think she may have a year or two left to give rides to little granddaughters. It's a hard decision to make. <br />Enjoy the beauty of autumn as you work on your sweet farm. :)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-15844659879435658552016-10-13T18:48:13.139-04:002016-10-13T18:48:13.139-04:00I am sorry to hear you have been so under the weat...I am sorry to hear you have been so under the weather, Sandra.

Good gracious! Take care and don't push TOO hard on your recovery...your body is working overtime on healing, along with all your chores and activities.<br />And no, I would NOT want to be married to Me. The list of tasks would just become twice as long if there was another pair of hands here LOL!<br />I do remember your woodturning gentleman, and the pictures of his creations. You know how I feel about wood. I recently bought a tabletop "lazy susan" at a tag sale, because even though "refinish a lazy susan" will be pretty low on my priority list, it's nice hardwood and so beautiful I could not resist. Wood, and Pyrex cookware...my weaknesses!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-1676221274048152022016-10-13T12:36:59.711-04:002016-10-13T12:36:59.711-04:00Sorry to hear about all of your health issues - ho...Sorry to hear about all of your health issues - hope you are truly on the road to recovery.
