I know. When I first moved down here, I use...Oh, P. I know. When I first moved down here, I used to drive for hours just looking at all the babies. The breeders try to time pregnancies so they are all fairly close together, and you will suddenly see fields full of them. Absolutely beautiful!<br />As for the smoking, the big chain stores don't allow it, but the small IGA in our town does. It's so nasty. I only go there if I absolutely have to. Ugh!<br />Kathleen, the one good thing is, my mother (the original homebody) learned to drive down here by herself. I was so proud of her! Now if Hubby and I plan a trip or something, she comes down to babysit. I love her for broadening her horizons like that for me.<br />Thanks for stopping.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689756071577897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-42633769427424524432011-03-02T21:33:14.345-05:002011-03-02T21:33:14.345-05:00I know how difficult it is to be far away from fam...I know how difficult it is to be far away from family. When my daughter moved five hours away, we were all sad. It took some time for us to accept the change. We make it work and get to take mini vacations when we visit.<br /> I enjoyed your post and the horses are beautiful.Kathleen Ann Gallagher's Place to Reflecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02129966317192758286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-70214310025038134702011-03-02T18:13:06.019-05:002011-03-02T18:13:06.019-05:00Ewwww.

Major league ick.<br /><br />Although I'm entirely too blue to live in a red state, I'd love to see all those spring foals. I live in New Mexico in a very horsey community. Lots of adult horses (and goats, llamas, chickens, etc.), but not many baby horses.<br /><br />Puppies and kittens are cute, but there's something about foals, all knobby-kneed and wobbly, that makes me go "Squeeeee!"P.

His farm is also in Paris, just a little ways away from here, and it is where he's buried.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689756071577897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-51247353715509145202011-03-02T17:10:33.333-05:002011-03-02T17:10:33.333-05:00Hi Jennifer,

I think you're further away from your family than I am mine. <br />I've kind of gotten used to being distant from them, and somedays I'm very glad with all the infighting that goes on, but it's especially hard when somebody's health is failing. My grandfather is having issues right now, and I would be at his house every day if I could to check on him.<br />Leanne, I don't know what BC is like. I've never been there. I think people are very adaptable, though, and there is something good about everywhere, you just have to look. <br />Actually, this time of year the good things about Kentucky are pretty much smacking you in the face. I've seen babies already, and looking out at my hill I can see the grass greening every day. Spring is my favorite time down here, and it's coming in hard.<br />Thanks for visiting.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689756071577897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-36883563014559084302011-03-02T12:20:57.955-05:002011-03-02T12:20:57.955-05:00Kentucky--yet another place I want to visit.
Your...Kentucky--yet another place I want to visit. <br />Your words echoed my own sentiments when I moved from Manitoba to British Columbia.<br />Those first couple of fews were very hard. My father-in-law who had made the move many years before me maintained, "The prairies are a fine place to come FROM." I've found the wisedom in his words. <br />Thank you for showing me your home. Now I know why Bill Munroe was inspired to make such sweet music.Author Leanne Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886667518427660865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-91379778153490449962011-03-02T10:53:16.620-05:002011-03-02T10:53:16.620-05:00I can sympathize - I live in Spain and my family a...I can sympathize - I live in Spain and my family are all back in the UK.

I guess I always picture desert for some reason. Sorry, Animal Planet Cops Houston has too much influence on me.<br />As for the rednecks and pick-up trucks and beer, it sounds like my kind of place. <br />Thanks for stopping in!JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689756071577897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-57534708113021937672011-03-02T10:14:34.591-05:002011-03-02T10:14:34.591-05:00It's hard getting used to new places, so many ...It's hard getting used to new places, so many different things,little things that you would think wouldn't matter. Do.<br /><br />I've lived in a lot of states,and still find Texas most comfortable for me. One friend I met from California said to me, "don't you just hate all those high wire electirical posts and telephone poles they are so ugly."<br /><br /><br />I thought to myself, don't pay them any attention. They aren't there for looks. Why would i want to look at them. They are there for the repairman so he doesn't have to dig up New York City to fix something.<br /><br />We got a gazillion pickup trucks, and rednecks in them, and beer sells like water here, and the smokers well, they are dying out the hard way.<br /><br />I love Texas for the trees. I also love Arizonia, but they don't have many trees.<br /><br />Love and blessings<br />RitaRedameterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610276663492366325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738883619831401054.post-5790297742123225772011-03-02T08:50:50.427-05:002011-03-02T08:50:50.427-05:00We actually have all of those.

A babe in a halter top and shorts holding said uzi.<br /><br />Check number one that I wasn't in California anymore!<br /><br />Next, as we traveled to Columbus, OH... The smoking in restaurants. Check number two that I wasn't in California anymore!<br /><br />Then the bible school placemats at McDonalds. <br /><br />Traveling is interesting! I don't know how I would have handled so many 'trespassers'...but everywhere has it's charm!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.com
