It...I hope you're okay after the last storm. It's bad here in Jersey. I'm okay down here in south Jersey. The eye passed right over us and nothing happened. I learned it's the safest place. Plus we didn't even get a flake when the Nor'easter hit. The ones who got the worst of the hurricane got a foot of snow. I'm going up there tomorrow to help a friend. Her town is under marshal law. She says it's like a war zone. Her brother's house literally floated away. <br /><br />I hope you didn't lose your power again. I just read your last few posts. That was pretty scary seeing those trees down on each side of your driveway. What if you had to get out?! It made me mad when I read about those kids who were mean to the people who came up from Florida to help but it made me happy when I read about what your son did. There are bad people in the world and there are good people. Someone here actually wrote a letter-to-the-editor complaining because the governor rescheduled Halloween. She thought it wasn't fair to her kids since we didn't get hit bad down here. What a selfish person! I know kids who lost EVERYTHING. My friend's kids don't have a single toy left. Not a single one. But then I saw school buses down at the Acme and people were filling them with canned goods and boots and blankets. Four buses went up to the disaster areas that day. It was a two hour ride so I know it must have cost them a thousand dollars in gas, just that one day. I try to focus on people like that. B.R. Williams was the bus company. I should mention their name. Anyway, I hope to update my blog on what's going on here soon. I'm okay and I hope you are too.Greener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367127003525577065.post-15980157529062188242012-11-08T13:09:25.293-05:002012-11-08T13:09:25.293-05:00I think all our horse have "our number" ...I think all our horse have "our number" and know what they can and can't get away with.

And Blue certainly knows how his "staff" cares about him enough to keep glancing out the window to see if he's ready yet. Sounds like something Silk would do too. Do you have power at home yet?

All of our horses are professional 'mudders' and really put a lot of effort into being filthy. Thank you, Blue is one handsome dude with a lot of character. I'm sure he owes it all to his beauty sleep!

A bit early but this crazy weather is so out of character for this time of year. We still have no phones though. <br /><br />Mellon is doing well and will be on another medicine regiment for 2 more months.
