Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaah Affluenza & Moving Pictures

Yes, I will type something/anything to get my pictures lower down. I love seeing Rusty dog, but as of Tuesday, her picture was on HGTV! (ok, for 0.75 seconds, twice! Still!) So rather than be hounded by the paparazzi, because of my oh, so famous now sadly deceased dog, I'll post whatever I can type. Don't need people wanting my autograph when I go to the post office:) "Pure Design" on HGTV - my Sis got a new kitchen/living room! So proud of her! The cameraman also zoomed in on a picture of my nephew taken oh, 10 years ago, standing in husband's wheat field. Oh, my, way cool. Sis is a great photographer. She took the pics at our wedding. She's an artist, and annoyed my MIL by taking some Polaroids with weird colour filters, that made MIL look a little corpse-ly. I know that's not a word. Ooh, I'll post a b/w pic of nephew she took. There, I have to get some sleep. Not to worry, I won't let the "fame" go to my head.
Oops, still haven't done Affluenza. I'll keep reminding myself.
That bright bay stallion Champagne Til Dawn? My Tad Plaid looked a lot like him, but for the white. I am such a sucker for a bright bay. The first horse that was "my" special, favourite schoolie at that first, worst barn, was a bright bay hackney gelding named "Brown Derby". I learned how to sit a trot, bareback, on him. He also had a rather disconcerting habit of occasionally falling through his jumps. I remember one bad fall, where I watched his body rolling towards me, thinking, I wonder how heavy a horse is? Nice old bright bay, he missed me tidily. I'd come up for my lesson, and see a yellow sticker on his butt. I was so blissfully unaware. He was the first horse I ever fell off of, just by turning into the centre of the ring, at a canter. Plop. Bright Bays, no white. Can you tell that's what I like? I know, I know. That's my "colour", not so flashy, but oh, so safe. Funny, huh? Hey, I'd never turn down a great horse with appy or pinto or white markings, but give me two exactly the same, but for the colour, I'll go with plain bay. I must have been Amish, in another life:) My old schoolie, Sparky, "grade" Morgan, bright bay, no white. Solidest, sanest, smartest, toughest horse I ever knew. That he had textbook jack spavin, ringbone, both high and low, fazed him not. He had the weirdest "caterpillar" four-beat canter, (sometimes 5 beats, how did he do that??) but he could teach kids rudimentary flying changes. I never worried about Sparky, "show" name Spartacus. A truly gifted baby sitter, with a kind heart. The cutest, tightest knees over jumps...
Didn't I say I was going to sleep?
Warm, drying winds, to the PNW.
To Bright Bay Horses.
