Meet Aunt Bev
I grew up eating the very best chocolate chip cookies in the world. This week my Aunt Bev (we pronounce it, on't - not ant) and Uncle Gene took their first airplane ride from Minnesota to meet Baby Red.
We turned Bev into a cookie making factory - and they are still the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. Come over for a test drive!

Four Days and doing Jumping Jacks
"Red" is a firecracker!
At three hours she was doing laps around her mom. And now she jumps between the stall and the run. No wonder Sola looks tired all the time.
Evenings are times for exploring when the heat is down and the pasture is inviting. But, wait -- what's this.
Can you spell trouble? R - E - D.
I'm loving every day. She was worth every sleepless moment.

Day 345
Today Sola gave us the sign that the foal is due within 72 hours, that was 10 hours ago. I need to get her a stop watch.
Tonight, I braided her tail (again) to prep for delivery. In the process, friends stopped by and walked into the barn. I gave them my best teacher "Look" and "shhhhh!" sign. My hands were occupied.
I explained to the Dad and 8th grader that we are in the early stages of labor. The Dad looked to the son and explained, "She's having a baby". I replied, "The horse, not me."
I'm thinking diazapam is my next spot. Soon, my readers. Soon.

Sailor is almost two. He is raised by three sisters.
- Athene 14
- Cari 6
- Hannah 3
He's so pathetic he doesn't even go out to the patio to bark at "Max and 99" (Emily names all creatures at Six Oak Farm) building their nest on the fireplace.
Just a few more hours my friend. Then Bark Central goes live!
