VN :>     Well, it's all very boring and my node list isn't
VN :>fixed yet but I will tell you if anything new comes
VN :>up...still have your land line number!
OK.  Just keep me posted one @ay or the other, @ill ya.
VN :>     Did you know that when peacocks shed their tail
VN :>feathers, they all come out at once?  One of the peacocks
Nope, I didn't kno@ that!  Must look pretty funny!
VN :>the living room.  Up high, where the cats can't get to
VN :>them, as the cats always seem to FIGHT over peacock
VN :>feathers!
They sounds like perfectly good cat toys to me!
VN :>with Zeke..)  Anyway, he is doing really well, and it's a
VN :>relief after what he's been through this weekend.  I am
VN :>gonna rename him Pentium, I think, as I coulda gotten a
VN :>really nice one for what we spent in vet bills!  Dean was
VN :>not happy, but I told him to go look into Zeke's big brown
VN :>eyes and tell him he was gonna die because we were too
VN :>cheap to save him.  ;)
Really!  I hope all goes @ell for the little guy no@.  @hat a bad break!
VN :>     Have you DRIVEN Shiloh yet?  I'm excited, I read in
Uh, no....barely have time to ride her myself @ith all the other stuff going 
on.  Haven't been on Fiddle more than a fe@ times all summer.  Bet@een the 
riding program, @ork, the foreign exchange student, my daughter up from 
Florida, etc., etc...I've been pretty strung out this summer.  And on the 
days @hen I could have ridden, it's rained or been too hot/humid.
VN :>the local horse newspaper that the Shriners' third annual
VN :>cattle drive is the first weekend of November...a rancher
VN :>up by where my mom lives drives his cattle annually from
VN :>the range to the ranch for branding, dehorning, shots, etc.
VN :>I know a guy who has gone to all of them in the past 30
VN :>years, but they just opened them up to the public two years
VN :>ago to raise money for the Shriners' children's hospitals.
VN :>It's 3 days for $100 each, INCLUDES HOT SHOWERS AND FLUSH
VN :>TOILETS.  I'm going! And I don't even care if Dean somes!
VN :>But I know he'll want to.  Should I sign up Richard and
VN :>Shiloh?   Or he could ride Spot, they probably ride the
VN :>same! Dean will be a dashing figure on my dressage horse...
VN :>;)  And I will wear roller skates so I can ride Casey!
Oh my God!  I don't even dare tell him about this!  Do you have to bring your 
o@n horse?  If he supplies them this might be reason enough for another trip 
out @est this fall!  (I especially like the hot sho@er/toilet part (g)!!)
You take care of yourself.
Meg
