I set out this morning early to drive a few hours to go see a woman about a horse. Literally. The mare involved in the prospective trade had been shipped to...
A watched driveway never develops a vehicle. I spent most of the day today waiting for the vet, with no idea whatsoever when he would come. Yesterday's horse...
There it was in the middle of the afternoon, another Candid Camera moment. I was out in the pasture readjusting the interior fencing (not to be confused with...
Someone mentioned my book to me today. There's always a nice rush when I think about people actually reading it, and it meaning something to them. It's not...
Trailer lessons, the saga continues. Monty has been seriously going to school, and he now loads more like a horse and less like a ping pong ball. Today, when...
Monty is such a charachter. I enjoy the stories about him so much! ... From: Deb To: erdenheim@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June 05, 2006 7:08 PM Subject:...
I am a compulsive horse counter. Any time I come out of the house, in fact any time I'm in the house and pass a window looking toward the pasture, I have to...
They're three words guaranteed to strike dread into the heart of any perfectionistic organized analyst: Change of plans. I don't really like changes of...
Remember me, Monty? It's really been a strange day, and I can't quite figure it out. In fact, it's been a strange last week or so. This morning, Deb came...

Even though I don't have kids, I now think I know how a Mother feells watching her child go of to college in state far from home. Through you we saw Monty's...
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Shakespeare had a point, but there are also names that fit and names...
Three weeks ago, I sat down to watch the Preakness Stakes. I had an article that would have been published immediately if Barbaro had won the Triple Crown,...
I still remember learning to read, the excitement, the satisfaction, and the voracious appetite for books that only grew from that point. I was three going on...
The whole concept of being in a pasture, as well as being in a herd, is new to Kate. She's integrating quite well, but there are a few speed bumps - mainly...
It was National Silly Animal Day today. I never quite know when these holidays in the animal kingdom will be declared, but it's amazing how a few special days...
I love feeding the horses in the dark. They aren't as fond of it, since it means that I am late, but sometimes, it can't be helped. I come up to the fence,...
What a neat analogy Deb. I think of cats purring the same way. Susan ... From: Deb To: erdenheim@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 10:29 PM ...
I have picked up a temporary job for a few days delivering the new phone books. This arises from my feeling that Coleridge is going to need his major...
Murder in the Yellow Pages. The impromptu, tongue-in-cheek short story came to me today while I was delivering phone books. I don't know whether this one...

After sound check and technical rehearsal this morning but before the actual solo, I mentioned to my Bible study group of ladies that this was a quite...
Games and imagination have their limits, vast though they may be. Today, I hit those limits. This was my last day of delivering phone books, and it turned...
The first day of summer. It has always been my favorite season, primarily because I have always liked hot weather. It is also the season of freshly cut hay,...
The atmosphere of buildings fascinates me. Homes, especially, but any building after a while absorbs an emotional impression of its occupants. There are...
I'm going into withdrawal. It's been well over a week since I managed to get anything written down, due to schedules, interviews, allergic reactions, and...
It was meant to be a quiet, uncomplicated, no-effort-required meal. At the end of a long and active day, one in which all the activity rekindled the fire in...
I had some feedback today of a different sort, feedback on music, not writing. A man commented how much he enjoyed my solo last Sunday. He actually was going...
I have a list of names for eventual foals, and one of them is Anticipation. Great name for a horse with a future. I was thinking of that tonight, because...
