Happy Anniversary, Reed!

We bought Reed on September 26, 1988. Man, that seems like forever ago! I have owned him for 23 years now. He is showing his age more now, but still looks pretty good for an older boy. I took some pictures of him tonight, since it is finally cooler and he isn't sweating so much! I just love this boy. Scott says when he finally "kicks the bucket" that he is moving out of the house for a while because I will be a hysterical wreck. Let's hope not....

See how his left nostril is higher than his right? He was kicked in the nose as a yearling and was sick afterwards - and a previous owner thinks that is why is nostrils are uneven.

He has the most beautiful brown eyes...

Martha Stewart eggs...

A client (whose daughter is a good friend of mine) brought me a dozen eggs from her chickens when I spayed her dog last week. Honestly, they are so pretty that I don't want to cook them! We love the blue ones and the speckled ones the best. We haven't brought ourselves to cook the prettiest one! :) (see Kate holding it below)

Goodbye to Mrs. Presley

Kate has had 2 teachers so far this year: Ms. Knott and Mrs. Presley. Mrs. Presley was doing an 8 week internship with the class, and this is her last week. Kate just loves her - in fact this is the new order: Mrs. Presley, Ms. Knott, Mama. Honestly. Kate has already made 2 cards for her. We know that she will make a fantastic teacher!

Now: look at these 2 pictures. Above - Mrs. Presley. Below - my Sister, Casey. They look so much alike, it is uncanny to me. They say you have a twin somewhere! They are both beautiful ladies!
