I love how we continue to familate (i just made that up, but it works) as adults... no easy feat given the many years and miles we span. Yay, us! 5 of the big 6 were together at Thanksgiving, and I took the week off for visiting and cooking.</div>

Speaking of engineering, I could've used some structural support to hold together the gluten-free pastry for the next pie. After much trouble (and some profanity) I carefully transferred the rolled and cut pieces outside to chill before weaving. When I went to retrieve it later, I found this:</div>

Having had a white horse for 15 years there was just no question. <br />
<br />
I pulled it out and saw on the back hints of another pony peeking out below the reinforcing boards. 15 minutes later I was home with tools in hand prying up rusty nails and boards singing, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPRJiOdPC9s&feature=related">"Wild Fire" </a> (OK- not really but go with it)<br />

<br />
This white horse gets it's "paint" look from an old varnish that is amber and crackly...I rather like it.<br />
<br />
I have no official information about the sign (other than I officially like it).<br />
<br />
A search on the interwebs found that "The White Horse" was a pub situated in E. London and established in 1780. The pub closed in 1969 but had belonged to the Colchester Brewing Company passing to IND Coope in the 1930s.<br />

This Memorial Day weekend was the best in recent memory. (likely better, I just can't say for sure...)<br />
<br />
<b>SALE! </b><br />
<br />
I nearly had a stroke when I walked through the doors of my LYS and learned they had 50% off <b>EVERY YARN</b> in the store. <br />
<br />
I was stuttering by the time I left...<br />

'Farmhouse' doesn't quite capture the home on their property. This is more 'party house' meets ''rustic artist' with a left turn at whimsy. <br />
<br />
My friend's husband has used wood from the property to rebuild the railing in the center hall..<br />

</tbody></table>Don't get me wrong... I'm not naive enough to put the canopy up on the gazebo just yet (the threat of snow lingers for one more month), but these early signs of spring are most welcome!<br />
<br />
On my recent walks I've spied itty-bitty crocus everywhere reminding me of spring in my first house...<br />
<br />
I had moved in during fall and didn't know what the gardens held, but was thoroughly delighted when I found my favorite tiny flower popping up all over my front yard. After reporting this delightful discovery to my gardener father, I later learned it was he who had planted these bulbs and kept the secret for months while fall turned to winter and winter to early spring.<br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I've ordered an orthopedic bed for her...an investment I thought she deserved now that she's on the back nine (I know: pot calling the kettle 'black'). Hell, both our bones hurt and we might even have to time share THE NEW BED. THE NEW BED is the best money can buy: memory foam, lots of real estate, special moisture barrier cover...yes, $$$ of Orvis engineering for the older great breed.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
Why was the bed always wet on the left side? <br />
Why did it happen even though she'd just been out??<br />
And, come to think of it, why was there a bigger puddle on the bottom of the bed than on the top???</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Ollie hasn't been wetting her bed...I've been overwatering the plant next to it. Sheesh.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
