Remember the gorgeous Newf we saw at St. Carol's when we were chasing icebergs? A lot of people seem to have the miniature horses and ponies here ~ and some, I have it from good authority, have an outsized personality to go with those small bodies! Kind of like Scotties!

If the parade had been a week earlier, I wouldn't have been able to go because it was way, way cold. Terry doesn't come ~ he thinks I'm nuts. <br /><br />Everyone had such a good time! Lots of smiles everywhere on spectators and participants. No Boomer though ~ :( I love all the animals in the parade, but I try to give a balanced set of photos. I made sure I posted a picture of each high school band, especially after what happened at Arapahoe High School on Friday. I didn't tell you, but I took some teaching courses there years ago. <br /><br />I thought about doing a post on it, but then I just couldn't do it. I keep thinking of that teacher counting students as he got them into a safe spot. How many times I have done that?<br /><br />Loved the Christmas card by the way! Stay warm and dry!

They are magnificent. I'm behind on reading blogs again. You're so consistent, and I'm so not, no matter how hard I try! For all I know you're in Bora Bora by now!

It's not Terry's thing, so I get to play photographer. I would love to ride on that Wells Fargo stage coach. It's like living history! I hope you haven't been too blasted by the winter storms. I'm catching up ~ again ~ so I'm behind on reading posts! I can't figure out where the time goes, but I'm having lots of fun!

The weather was lovely for the parade, and it was filled with beautiful horses, ponies, and minis ~ no burros though ~ :0. I had a blast photographing everything. It's so fun just to be able to do something completely for fun and not have to worry about anything else! I hope that your road adventures are going well! I'll be catching up! Take care!
