It sure is, and just like what happened to Deb last night, I see a double post I just made. I'm sure someone will straighten it out before long, but it sure is annoying.

Today is Penny's birthday. She's 23 years old, which is getting up there for a horse, though she seems to be in basically good health still. So here's a springtime photo I took of her some years ago. She still looks pretty much the same, though right now, she's a lot shaggier, since she hasn't totally shed out her winter coat yet.

Well it seems Penny and I have reason to celebrate today.
Today is my 45th wedding anniversary. That's more than half of my life being with this man but I love him still...
It's a shame... I forgot what today was until I saw Sandy's post about today being Penny's birthday.
Well... let me go to remind him what today is..........

Happy Anniversary JoAnn! I hope you and your husband have a super day together!
Happy Birthday to Penny! I hope she gets extra carrots and apples today!
Life for me is starting to get back to normal. I've replaced the essentials and my house doesn't look like it was burglarized any longer. With exception to the window frame that they bent to pop the window open. Thankfully, I called an old contractor friend who came out and took pictures and measurements and has a great glass guy. After the window is replaced, I'm going to add some more security to my windows and patio doors. I had an awful dream last night that I was in my bedroom and watched a man with a straw hat on come from my front door area and walk into my bedroom telling me he has returned to get the new stuff that replaced what he stole. Of course he didn't fit the description from my neighbors, but I think I'll steer away from men in straw hats today.
I submitted my insurance claim yesterday. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I've heard the word depreciation way too many times out of the agents mouths!
Whisper and I are getting ready to ride over to the dog park for a nice romp in the sun. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Tail - I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you.
Happy Birthday Penny the Horse.
Happy Anniversary, Joanne. It's wonderful to be in love after being married for years
I got the 50 gal pond emptied and moved to the front. Hubby is going to dig the hole and put in the electricity ... soon, I hope. I'm digging up yellow and purple yarrow and hardy geraniums for transplanting on the side yard. Hope everyone is having a wonderful spring day.

I did the same thing. Took the survey and could not visit Voltville.
BTW Happy birthday Penny.
Now for the Kanger Protank. I liked it, easier draw. The only thing I did not like is that you have to keep it filled. If not the Kanger floods.
Chief Dragon - nice to see you here
Thanks. I have not had time to come in like I wanted to. But I have kept up with the posts.
I know how that goes. I am headed out to do some more transplanting right this minute. I need to move the dewberries and raspberries.
Happy Anniversary, JoAnn...we won't mention that you almost forgot, LOL!
Happy Birthday to Penny, and make sure she gets some apples and carrots!
Tail, nice to see you back to quasi normal! Recovery does take time. I had an argument with an adjuster once over depreciation and replacement. I told him to find me a depreciated body shop with depreciated parts and depreciated paint to make my depreciated car like it was BEFORE his depreciated client hit it with his depreciated car. Worked like a charm!

Well, I guess things look back to normal as far as the speed of the system goes. Did anyone ever tell their grandkids to go out and play in traffic? Just kidding! Our quite abode has turned into a madhouse with 5 grandkids running around all trying to get the attention of poppop and grammey. Tonight won't be any better because my two grown daughters and one son-in-law are going out to a coffee house to hear a local band, leaving the 5 grandkids with poppop and grammey to entertain, get baths, and put them to bed. WHAT A FUN NIGHT! 
I think I am getting OLD. We had planned to do a lot outdoors with the children, but it went from sunny and 80 degrees yesterday, to 55 degrees, windy and chilly today, so everything is indoors.

I'm sorry you are trapped indoors but it must be nice to be wanted, poppop
I went to visit Penny today, lots of carrots in hand. But her big birthday treat was that, while I groomed her, I let her graze on the lawn. The lawn grass, being mowed a lot, is always more succulent than the pasture grass. She even had horsey company. Willy, the oldster, was out on the lawn when I arrived. Willy has very poor teeth, so he can't chew well, and about all he can eat is softened senior feed and grass, but I noticed several chewed wads of grass he must have not been able to chew well. Poor Willy! The barn owner says that she may put him down at the end of summer so he doesn't lose weight again over next winter.
Meanwhile, I was worried Penny might get too much lush grass, but I groomed her for 2 hours while she grazed, then put her back in her pasture, so I think we're safe. It's not like she was out there all day with Willy. There's grass in her pasture, but like I said, it's not as green and tender as the lawn. I got lots and lots of hair off her in those 2 hours. Her tail was a mess, too, so the last 15 minutes or so, I took her into the barn to the cross ties and combed out her tail. She got the last of the carrots, and then I put her out in her new pasture. I notice that when I go to latch the gate, the electricity snaps. I don't think it should do this, though it's just when I touch the hook part of the handle to the loop. Once it's closed it seems OK. Penny is very frightened of this snap. She has a great deal of respect for electric fences. So I have to hold the rope of a horse who's being antsy from the snap and close the gate. I think she'll get used to it or it'll get fixed and won't be a problem. Penny seems to have fit right in with her new family: Wrangler, a black-and-white spotted horse who's probably actually a large pony; Flame, a chestnut Arabian who Penny used to be friends with; Ali, a small (maybe also a pony) Appaloosa mare that Penny knew from before but was never particularly friends with. When I came to get Penny, the horses were up by the barn eating their morning hay, but by the time I turned her out again, Flame and Ali had gone down to the lower pasture, where there's grass. Wrangler was still up eating the last of the hay. Maybe waiting for Penny? As soon as I turned Penny out, she and Wrangler went down to join Flame and Ali. They all rolled (there went my grooming job!) and then crossed the creek to graze on the other hillside. It was cold (40s) and very windy, and there were occasional spatters of graupel (There! I got to use my new vocabulary word!) with intermittent sun while I groomed Penny, but I think tomorrow should be warmer and nicer -- at least not such strong wind -- so maybe I'll try riding if the stars seem to be aligned properly.
Happy anniversary, JoAnn. I'm glad Penny's birthday reminded you.
Tail, I'm glad to hear things are getting back to normal. I hope you and Whisper enjoyed the dog park.
Lizzie, happy transplanting. Keep me posted about that horse you're interested in.
Rabbit, I'm the same way. When I visit my brother and his 2 get with their 2 cousins, they are all excited, very lively, and it starts to wear on me, as much as I love kids. They run in a circle from the kitchen, to the dining room, to the living room, to the hall, and then to the kitchen, round and round, and I think I get sort of dizzy and deaf from their excited screaming. They are having fun, but it's so hectic! So my sympathies are with you, and I can just picture what entertaing 5 must be like!
