You know that I told her, I'd do what I can



I turned 45(!) on Thursday and one of my favorite gifts was from Lazarus and his mommy, Kristen, over at sweet horse's breath. Inside was a fabulous T-shirt that said "I Love Off-Track-Thoroughbreds" but instead of a heart, Kristen ingeniously used a heart red silhouette of a racehorse. Perfect!!!!  

Kristen has a new etsy shop and she is selling her great T-shirts there. Her shop is called kokoshell and you can visit by clicking here.

When I opened my package the shirt was pretty big and I couldn't figure out how I was going to "model" this for her. Then, I realized that she sent a big one for our cold temperatures - I could wear many layers underneath. It ended up that I needed to wear some jackets over top too. I took them off at our "photoshoot" and draped them over Foggy. When I saw the pictures later I could not stop laughing because my jacket looks like short little legs hanging over the saddle. It reminds me of Tim Conway as Dorf.


Foggy was a wee bit antsy about our picture taking. I will try again another day with the photogenic Pie. I don't know if I posted about this before, but Pie was one of the prize WINNERS of the MOO sticker contest I entered in the summer! 

Kristen, it is a fabulous shirt even if these photos are silly!!!!!


Poor Foggy!!! I don't yank like this on the reins normally! I was trying to get him to face my mom so she could get a good picture. Brian just now said, "That's a funny look" referring to my Ninja headgear so I shouldn't have worried about where Foggy was facing!  What a disaster! We are the half-put-together-gang on our farm.  


 Foggy says, "No more pictures! Let's nibble some grass - yum!"

  4. I love calling your headgear Ninja headgear much better than saying balaclava which I always get wrong and say baklava anyway! Those legs sure are funny!!! Love the tee shirt with the cool OTTB graphic. Brilliant! I also wouldn't feel so bad about those reins. I do that sometimes to and wouldn't you know that's exactly when the picture gets taken! Oh good grief. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!! 45-alive!!!!

  5. Thanks guys for the fun comments!

    baystatebrumby - Brian and I just read your comment and now we are laughing because we always butcher "Balaclava" too. Brian is so particular about pronunciation yet he invariably calls them "Bear-a-clava" which sounds like he is saying "Bear-claw" to me! His dad and dear little Winnie across the street really have problems with words (because they don't hear well) and Brian just started trying to think what they might call it. I LOVE your version - baklava is so yummy and perfect!
