happy helped me get through a difficult time.”

Whether you are a Horse Dad or are related to a Horse Dad,
I’m wondering, what therapeutic value do you find in the barn chores you do?
Congrats on the Grammy...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'd like to introduce myself, Horse Husband. Or, for effect, should I say Show Horse Husband? Regardless, I have found few of us out here in bloggerland. We must join together and embrace our abilities of writing large sum checks while holding a lead rope and a brush tote and a saddle. Welcome, and keep a fresh pen in your pocket.
Hey, Cedar View. To assure that my feeble humor is transparent, the talented Mr. Lovett garnered all the Grammys ... and it remains true that between us we have four of those beauties. Happy trails ...
