>I must say that seeing Heidi with her bonnet/helmet on and
her zink nose was a site to behold!!! and it wasn't even costume
day.
Aw, shucks. Paddi is just trying to goad me into
repeating the lymerick I told her at the ride, after telling the tale about
how the hatter who made my "helm-hat" didn't want to do it because he thought he
would be ugly, and I told him it wouldn't be near as ugly as when they cut my
nose off when I get skin cancer...
OK, Paddi, here's the infamous lymerick...
"I know how ugly I are.
I know my face ain't no star.
But I don't mind it
'Cuz I'm behind it!
The fellow in front gets the jar!"
Gotta say, though, it was a chance remark from somebody about
how my zinc nose gave them an idea for their costume that gave me my idea for my
own (since I did not come all prepared, like some folks did, so I had to
scramble at the last minute to fit the theme)--zinc oxide all over my face,
and a white scarf over my head and under my chin, all tucked into my black coat,
made for a ghoul at the starting line to offset Beee-yooo-tiful
Ballerina Barney in his now-famous tu-tu... :-) (Hey, Steph and
John, did you get pics of him dancing out to the starting line to watch
horses?) But endurance riders are practical to the core--as one rider
said, at least I wasn't gonna get scratches on my face!

> Heidi thanks for all the help you gave!!! We sure
appreciated it.
Hey, saying I've gotta help Steph is a good way to cover up
the fact that the newly-back-to-riding bod just isn't up to 5 days yet...
