~Horses~

Photo from the www

I got my movie yesterday and I didn't even watch it

last nite and now I'm a day late..I might just wait and

watch it tomorrow, since usually the only thing on that

I watch is the bull riding contests.. Boy some of the

kicks and stomps those boys get is awful. I feel sorry

for those bulls, but I guess theyre bred for that.
Like race horses. A friend is going to buy a new draft

horse and already has 2 of those pissy horses I call

them I can never remember the name let alone spell

it, so pissy horse works for me..Its really a Percheron

or something like that.. My spell checker quit working.

:-) Huge beautiful animals. I think those budweiser

horses are those kind or maybe theyre Clydesdales

which is a big horse like the pissy kind.


They all like to work..or pull as I'm told..They enjoy doing

things like pulling a plow or a wagon. Down in Indiana by

Goshen, or Middlebury, and specially Shipshewanna.. A lot

of Amish.. To go by their farms is amazing..No electric or

cars.. They have their own schools. The stores in Shipshe,

as we call it have lots of Amish things.. The hurricane lamps

are wonderful..and the home made quilts are amazing..
There are a few restaurants there and bakeries and if you

can make it through that town with out stopping, well you

do better than I do..

My sis and I went there all the time, year round. The summers

in Shipshe they have a 10 acre flea market that is awesome.

You cant even really go to every booth there. They have a big

center where the flea market is, and auctions and of course

a great pork palace..with some great food.. For my sister and

I our main reason for going was the fabric shops.. There is

one store we had gone to just right after it opened and we

walked thru that door and both of us just stood there with

out mouths open totally in awe of all the material..we didn't

know what to look at first.. we both headed off in different

directions.. I'm a silk and cotton person, shes quilted and

cotton... :-) The Amish ladies are famous for their sewing

and their quilts. I know they have a tour thing selling the

crafts made called Shipshe on the Road or something..

Of course we couldn't leave town with out going to that great

little restaurant that every thing they make right down to the

butter and jam and breads AND its their own beef. The food

is terriffic and next to Come and Dine its the best.. Come and

Dine is a Amish place and there are quite a few around.. Its a

big huge open room with tables and when you go you order

either beef, pork or chicken, They bring the meat you ordered

and in separate bowls are the potatoes, veggies, 2 kinds. They

give everyone a plate and you serve yourself as if you were at

home.. Great food.. To go with Stanley? well its his kind of place.

He says he got tired of going to Country Buffet as he wore

himself out going back and forth to the food.. This at Come and

Dine they keep the bowls full and hot. Stanley loves good food,

I swear ive seen sparks fly from his fork and knife at times ..

:-D... Stan likes good food...

Everywhere are horses and buggys, my friend with the pissy horse

says theirs will pull wagons and I had said I bet I could drive a

wagon.. well horses that is.. I bet its not too hard.. and I think it

would be great fun.. Being pulled around in a beautiful carriage by

a huge gorgeous black horse? Be great... I bet I would try it :-)

We had talked about whether I could ride.. I think so.. If I had a

special saddle to put my stumps into for leverage so I wouldn't

fall off... Ive never ridden a horse, but I think theyre one of the

most beautiful animals there are.. Riding on them I don't know..

Id try but I think the carriage would be better a safer ride.

Well, my ride for today is out to eat my lunch. Its mashed tatoes

and pork roast and gravy..sadly with carrots.. If it wasn't such

good pork and gravy I probly wouldn't open it cuz of the carrots.

They must be cheap lately every other day we get carrots .. I

do NOT like carrots :-) I'm hungry so its food, solitare and then

to watch TV. then sleep.. I am tired.. Time for my GORGEOUS
WEEBLE "nitey nite"... :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks!! ;-)

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
