Re: RC: housework & horses

[Bette Lamore <woa@stormnet.com>]

Hi Beth
Now you know why I did not invite you guys up to the house when you came
to see the horses. If I'd known your philosophy then, we'd have had a
grand time in my messy house. I always figured if a person saw that the
house was not clean, they'd figure the horses were not taken care of----
I can see now I had it backwards--- thus--- my horses are the best cared
for critters on the planet (at least the most loved)-- the broodmares in
pasture may have some knots in their manes from time to time (forget the
bridle paths) but they get carrots on a regular basis and appear to be
happy!
