    Dear Judy.Hope all is well with you.Such a sad day in Orlando and it seemed he was known to police.Shocking how easily they get guns!If they couldn’t change the rules after Sandy Hook they never will!!
    The party on the Mall was fun despite the rain.Everyone enjoyed themselves.Looking forward to Royal Ascot this week despite the cooler conditions.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT Cap Hercules Frank Bentley and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX

    Dear Sheena:

    Heartsick for these victims and their families. Maybe this will finally get our Congress to act to make mandatory thorough background checks, personally and mentally, for the sale of guns and to ban the sale of assault weapons altogether. Although there is more to do, it may at least make it more difficult for madmen to acquire weapons that can kill so many people in a heartbeat.

    Glad the Queen’s celebration went well. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM, PC, HT, Cap, Herc, Frank, Bentley and all the Sweeties

    The need for perfection makes us say, “Standardize, make it all the same thing”-but do we think the same? No. How can we standardize and all be alike? The way you are is perfect for me. I have no desire to change you. All the change that I pray for is that you be happier, that you see how life is a journey, not just a destination. See it all minute by minute, hour by hour. I pray that you take no time to complain or weep for what might have been. Make this moment one to remember for its joy and for all the blessings that have come upon you. Time is dear and complaining wastes time. Rise up and rejoice!

    I was not brought here from a foreign country…I was put here by the Creator.

    “love is love is love is love is love”
    Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Acceptance Speech at Tony Awards

    My wife’s the reason anything gets done
    She nudges me towards promise by degrees
    She is a perfect symphony of one,
    Our son is her most beautiful reprise
    We chase the melodies that seem to find us
    Until they’re finished songs and start to play
    When senseless acts of tragedy remind us
    That nothing here is promised, not one day
    This show is proof that history remembers
    We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger
    We rise and fall and light from dying embers
    Remembrances that hope and love lasts long
    And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love
    Cannot be killed or swept aside,
    I sing Vanessa’s symphony, Eliza tells her story
    Now fill the world with music love and pride

    Dear Kathy.Yes,time is very dear and so much of it is wasted.Such sad news from Orlando.When we heard yesterday our first thought was “another US shooting spree” because a young girl had been shot in Orlando a couple of days previously.We live in a crazy world now with home grown terrorists and this will happen again.Time for some form of gun control.
    Thank God Miss Diane arrived home safely I found Star’s page and “liked”it.It was Marty’s mom’s birthday and they had cake.Poor Milo is in jail though how can this be??Monty caught 25 fish last week but the “bobs” had a real soaking last night.It’s drying up there now and they seem to grow each day.The going is soft at Ascot and Sole Power plus Timetest are out.Wes Ward is worried about Acapulco but hopes to run her in the Commonwealth Cup on Friday.Typical British summer weather I’m afraid.It will suit some horses though.Her Majesty enjoyed her weekend of celebrations it was lovely to see Princess Charlotte on the balcony.The garter ceremony at Windsor today will look out for pics.Remember to turtle.Have a safe day.Love and hugs to you,Kisses for Angel Holly.Nikko and Sugar.SheenaXOXO

      Sheena, our President refuses to call it terriorism and government only focus’s on guns.
      Guns do not kill people; the people behind the guns kill people. So for me, I believe in our second amendment rights but I believe there should definitely have “Red flags” set up between gun sellers and government. In this Orlando instance this killer recently purchased two guns. He had been on some kind of list by our FBI. I think, if on any list, one should be denied a purchase of a gun and they themselves should have to contact some one in government to get an approval such as the FBI.
      They take away or do not renew a drivers license here for various reasons but many because of health issues and they must go see their doctor for an approval signed by the doctor that they can still drive.
      hugs, Sally B

    Dear Sheena,

    Absolutely, that God Diane is back with her beloved Zoe and Ken, of course. Glad you gave Star’s page a likey. I laughed when I read the ratties’ comment…”Mom is even older now…” lol!!! Not sure why Milo is in jail. Guess we’ll just have to stay tuned. Monty is an impressive fisherman! What with getting soaked the “bobs” need all that protein. Best wishes for all horses and jockeys taking part in Ascot. Thank you again for posting all those pics of Her Majesty’s celebration. Princess Charlotte is so adorable. She’s certainly growing like a little weed. I look forward to pics of the garter ceremony. Glad Karen survived Airfield Anarchy ad that David was able to ride Hovis. What a treat! I will be turtling today. You have a good day as well. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Angel Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy XOXO

    the Orlando shooting is sadly not suprising when you can go down to your corner gun store and buy an assault weapon. Only in America.

    Rest in peace all victims, condolences to their families.

    Is something you thought you were rid of trying to come back on you? Refuse it. If it did not work before, it’s not going to work now. If it is an illness, see yourself as whole. Tell the illness to be gone. Stir yourself up and feed such powerful thoughts to spirit that the devil himself cannot control you. Decide what you want and go after it. Speak to the mountain and speak to the valley of the shadow. It is your right to do so. Even a few hours of taking charge will make all the difference. Try it and prove to yourself what a powerhouse you are.

    I am a man, and you are another.

    Dear Kathy.Not good weather here or at Ascot today but the procession has just taken place.Her Majesty is all in yellow and Prince Harry was in the carriage with her plus the Duke of York.We have just seen Tepin she looks gorgeous I just hope she copes with the ground.There is an American commentator on only caught his first name Scott.
    Sadly another terrorist attack in Paris last night a police officer and his partner were stabbed the killer was shot dead.
    Mark Casse has his sunglasses on???I don’t remember 1971 or the dreadful ground We were moving house that summer so must have missed it.They couldn’t even use the stalls that year.The “bobs” are thriving despite the rain I didn’t sleep well last night and could hear the rain I was worried for them but the mumbrella was out!Getting in the stalls now.Wow Tepin has won!!!Bless her She is a real superstar.She hated the going though.It’s a tough mile at Ascot.Wonderful to see her win here.Poor Ray has lost many friends again.Did you see that video on Zoe with the dog’s coat?Did’nt he look so much better afterwards.It sends a big message to the US race day medication is not needed!Have a great day.ove and hugs to you,kisses for Angel Holly,Nikko and Sugar.SheenaXOXO Love seeing Americans in top hats!!!

      Dear Sheena,

      Too bad the weather isn’t very good, but at least they were in carriages. I love when you post pics of the different events involving the Royal family. They live in a different world! Those poor ospreys. Life is tough for the mothers keeping their “bobs” under the mumbrella! Dreadful news of yet another terrorist attack. Sorry you didn’t sleep well last night. Maybe you can sneak in a nap today. So proud of Tepin. Just wonderful news. Yes, many of Ray’s friends have crossed The Bridge. I did see that video on Zoe’s page. Never would have believed that was a shih tzu! Have a super day. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Angel Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy XOXO

      Last horse to win Queen Anne the June after winning BC Mile was Goldikova in 2010, & it’s not wrong to mention Tepin in same sentence.

    Congratulations to my namesake Jennies Jewel for winning the Ascot Stakes.Quite used to ground more suitable for jumps (she has won over hurdles and fences) she led all the way.It turned into a war of attrition out there.Great news for a small stable and a wonderful ride from young Ronan Whelan.Sheena
