Happy Thursday!
I am still basking in the glow of all of the attention I have been receiving the past few weeks from ‘my family and close friends’. In the Diary posts, several of you asked if MY TEAM was able to come to Lane’s End and visit with ME during the Sale. The answer is ABSOLUTELY YES. They were here on several occasions. We always share so many great times together!
John promised Dottie last night that he would download the photos so we can share them with you. Since everyone is just settling in at home post Del Mar and Kentucky, it has been rather busy. So, I’ll have them for you soon. In some, I’m simply sleeping. I guess they think it is fun to even watch ME do that!
This baby thing is really becoming quite fascinating to ME! I’m learning that babies grow up and that they come in so many different sizes! Here I am with Brian, Jeanne’s grandson. He is absolutely adorable! I can tell he has been around a lot of horses in his life…he knows WE LIKE SNACKS!
I’m off to roam around in the paddock now with Tasty. She is such a dear friend. We are great paddock mates…and get along fabulously!
Enjoy your day!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

@Barbara Wood, It is a small world, You said you have a friend in Moultrie, I am only about 22 miles east of there in Adel. I am about right in the middle of Tifton and Valdosta in central South Ga. small world indeed. Oh, we got rain tonight Yippee we need it so badly.
@Terry Crow, OMG, now I’m worried about Lost In The Fog. I am from so far away I hadn’t heard about Golden Gate Fields may be razed. Do they think this is going to happen soon. Seems like I remember, also, (Don’t quote me) but I think Mr Aleo Lost in the Fog’s owner may have died. I am worried now about him and Silky. I wish they would send his remains back to Fla where he was born. Just seems like he belongs there. He was such a beauty. Please keep us informed if you hear anything more about this. Thanks so much.
Zenny much love sent your way. Peggy

@ Lori & Zenyatta

Dearest Zenny,
You are such a big mother hen. I have missed checking the diary daily an am so glad to be back in the Zenyattasphere. Kids are great, just not a lot of time left at the end of the day! Big HUGS and a pat to the baby bump.

So sorry to hear about Rahy. May you Rest In Peace.

For “Z” Friends who would like to share an Evening Prayer:
……………………………….
For the fruits of his creation,
Thanks be to God;
For the gifts to every nation,
Thanks be to God;
For the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
Silent growth while men are sleeping,
Future needs in earth’s safe keeping,
Thanks be to God.
In the just reward of labor,
God’s will is done;
In the help we give our neighbor,
God’s will is done;
In our world-wide task of caring
For the hungry and despairing,
In the harvests men are sharing,
God’s will is done.
For the harvests of his spirit,
Thanks be to God;
For the good all men inherit,
Thanks be to God;
For the wonders that astound us,
For the truths that still confound us,
Most of all, that love has found us,
Thanks be to God.
……………………F. Pratt Green…

Just thought I would pass along some information that I found out. I am sad about it as I was hoping to combine a visit next year to Keeneland Sales and to visit Lane’s End. Lane’s End usually doesn’t do Stallion Tours in September. You know how much I love A. P. Indy so if I’m up there, there is just no question that I have to go visit Indy. Bah Humbug now I’ll have to work something else out. Wanted to go to the sales too.
Zenny love you, and yeah, I know, I’ll keep smiling. Love Peggy

Sorry to hear your plans are not working out, but perhaps there may be a better plan in store for you.

Not sure we will baby Z’s live birth, but I am sure there will be plenty of photos to share, filled with beautiful moments.

Dear Signofthetimes:
Thanks for the link to The Foal Project. I’ve been trying for the last half hour to get the necessary plug in installed on my computer, but it won’t work. At least I got to see one beautiful photo of a newborn. Thanks again. Hugs, J.B.

Dear Signofthetimes:
Don’t think Lane’s End or maybe even Z’s Team will think that a good idea. But, I’m sure you’re right and we will see many wonderful photos of Z and Little Z. Hugs, J.B.
