such happy thoughts of ..."Happy Siigghh" <br />such happy thoughts of those good old days mom. I have been saving my comment for now because I haven't been able to read and leave a comment at the same time. But I read this darling post a couple days ago and it put me in the happiest reminiscent of moods. I just reread it again and so cozy and such a delightful story. I do remember that darling little table we used to sit and eat at. It amazes me that Zane is getting near the age now of using a little table like the one I used. And the "love of goats" have passed down to me. I can't wait to get a goat and do some milking and cheese making. I also love your idea of getting a Alpaca for wool. That would be so marvelous to learn how to spin and weave. Thanks so much for sharing this story and reminding me of those "peaceful" days LOL!!!<br /><br />LOVE YOU<br />~ MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197848204680298295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178466451834973427.post-48628273853946866612011-03-18T14:57:11.887-07:002011-03-18T14:57:11.887-07:00Oh Pam, that was hilarious.

My funniest story about country living starts out like yours Pam - I was baking in the kitchen when I just happened to glance up and there was a racehorse standing on the front porch looking in at me through the full length glass doors. It was smiling at me like 'Mr Ed' from the old television series as if it were about to say 'Howdy neighbour! I just about dropped the tray of cookies or was it muffins, I don't remember now. What did I do - I opened the door and asked it if it wanted to come in but it was happy just to stand there and stare at me! This huge old thoroughbred horse - a former champion apparently, which belonged to my neighbour had come to visit us. The children raced outside and it greeted them all allowing them to pat it and appeared to take great pleasure in all the attention. It would have stayed there all day but was persuaded to walk back to its paddock but only when accompanied by the older children. The story has a sad ending because the horse knew it was sick and ailing and had left the rest of the horses to be on its own. The next day the vet was called and it had to be put down. Why it came to visit us at the end of its life I don't know but I have to say this was my favourite 'animal in the house' story. My others are my snake encounters which my children think are funny but I don't!<br />Thank you for sharing that funny story - it was the 'daddy's gonna shoot that goat' line that got me!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.com
