"I miss being around horses. But the sad reality is that I don't have property and boarding is outrageous in the suburbs."

HappyHillbilly has an answer for everything.

You really don't need a whole lotta space to keep horses as long as you give them plenty of exercise.



The story behind that photo is: When we first moved back to this area our house wasn't ready so we had to scramble to find a place to rent. That house was sooooo small I felt like a sardine in a can. Ugh!

Anyway, my mom & dad (pictured) were visiting from FL and I let Casper, the horse, out of his pasture to graze the yard. Casper LOVED dog food and would walk up the two steps to get on the front porch to eat it out of the dogs' bowls. I was inside the house & saw Casper standing at the screen door looking in, scoping things out. I jokingly opened the door and said, "Come on in!" And he did. Just as pretty & casually as you please.

I got my camera & took a picture, then my dad put my two kids on Casper, for another photo op. Casper was super smart & loved kids. He finally died of old age at the age 35, about 5 - 6 yrs after the above photo.

To show you that my sense of humor is hereditary, take a look at this next photo.



That is "Pooch," the family dawg from a 1963 photo. My dad dressed him up & put him in the pedal-car. Being the youngest of two boys, and a dawg, I was used to hand-me-downs. So it came as no surprise that I got Pooch's pedal-car when he outgrew it.

I hope these photos made you smile. Enjoy life! Share a smile!

Ya'll have a great day!
