    Lizzie, I'm trying to catch up from way back before answering, but I had to break my own rule to say how much I love that photo of you & Wiseguy in the water!

    Your deck is absolutely beautiful! It must make you feel very good to just stand back and look at it and know you did such a superb job. I love that light-colored wood, so I hope the stain won't make it much darker.

    Thanks for the explanation, Awsum. (You know, the auto-correct here keeps wanting your name to be Aksum? I have to be alert to that, so if I ever misspell your name, blame it on the computer, not on me!) I had mead here -- Earle Estates Meadery | Finger Lakes Wine | Torrey Ridge Winery | Award...

    That deck looks great, Lizzie! I'm really impressed. Cash has grown into a very handsome fellow, too. Awsum, where does the word "honeymoon" come from? I didn't cheat and look it up, so you must tell us.

    That's how the term "pecking order" came to be.

    I wanted to show you guys some short videos the problem child did, but I can't get them on here. Anyone want to help? They are in Quicktime Player, which I can view, but apparently I can't upload here.

    These are all very normal green horse things. With time, he'll get more comfortable with stuff. The neighbor who slapped his .... should be educated. That is rude and not a good idea, but I suppose your neighbor hadn't a clue about horses. Worse, that same fellow boarder, who galloped off and...

    Lizzie, you asked if Penny ever ran away with me. She did, a few times, but she wasn't a horse that ran out of control a lot like some of them do. Remember, I trained her from scratch. She hadn't had much handling before I came along, though she was friendly and outgoing toward people. The...

    Hi, guys. I've been around, but busy and not too much news to report, thus silent. Lizzie, I hope hubby is doing OK after his fall off the new deck. Will it have railings when it's finished? That would prevent such a thing. As for Wiseguy shying at boulders, Penny used to, too. And logs half...

    I'm partial to the brindle color, so I hope you get one of those. Still, personality is much more important than color, so get the pup you like best on a gut level.

    Lizzie asked about what's new with the tutoring. The oldest boy who's my newest pupil is stopping the lessons, but I owed him a birthday gift, and I decided, since he's so into movies, to take him to the movie of his choice. Yesterday, we saw Warcraft. Not a movie I would choose to see or...

    Bill & I both like Subaru Legacys. He has had several, and I've been very happy with mine. They do wonderfully in the snow, and with studded snow tires, they can't be beat on the ice. I did notice that muddy dirt roads don't seem much different than how my Honda Civic handled. Why can the AWD go...

    So, more on the car. We are used to the usual kind of automatic transmission, but the new ones have a CVT, which doesn't have gears and shift when you drive it, though there are controls on the steering wheel (called a paddle) that will let you "shift gears," i.e., keep the car from naturally...

    Bill got a new(er) car today! I've spent days researching the cars for sale at fairly local dealers today, and the best selection seemed to be at a Subaru dealer in Syracuse, about 1 1/2 hours from here. So Friday, we went up there to see, and chose a gold 2014 Subaru Legacy. Bill got home with...

    I'm so sorry, Awsum! I'm sending vibes for you and your wife to not be too upset, though I know that's probably futile.
