OH it looks like everyone had a GREAT time :mrgreen:

Why did the one horse have a muzzle (?) on ? Or whatever it was over its face ?

butterflywing 08-08-2010 10:38 PM

my family left to right, daughter sondra and husband mike, daughter (in law) liz and son ethan, me and karla.

david must have taken the picture.

karla is exactly the person she is here, you would know her anywhere. she is so gentle and loving with her kids and her animals. (there are rabbits, too.) thank you karla for a wonderful day.

p.s. she also bakes a mean ....well, she calls it cookies, but i call it cake. either way, it's so good.

There you are bfw! Hope your trip was awesome and I'm curious if any BIG fish were caught!

Your family is delightful. Sondra is so inquisitive! I get the feeling she explores all parts of her world. Your dil is sweet--she goes with the flow making the most of every situation. I love how she wandered around the gardens and played with Buddy while we chatted. Ethan seems very easy going too. Nice couple!! You and David seem like a solid team. :-D

I used to bake often--mostly cookies the family liked. But, no one but me eats them anymore, so for the wedding reception and for you I baked for the first time in years. Used the trusted favorite recipe. :wink: Mark didn't eat one that was left!! Rach and I ended up eating them--aaargh.

The muzzle is to prevent the horse from eating too much grass--which can make them FAT and get hoof problems and all kinds of bad stuff!!!!

Aw, looks like you had a great time!!!!!!!!! I just love the pictures!

mimisharon 08-09-2010 04:55 AM

Beautiful pics. Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all. Thanks for sharing, Karla's place is truly idyllic, love those little horses....ahhh, I shall continue to dream!

butterflywing 08-09-2010 07:52 PM

how come nobody asked karla about the sunflowers? i know i said not to ask, but that never stopped anyone before.

nursie76 08-09-2010 08:00 PM

OK....what about the sunflowers?

BW, I am soooo glad you got to visit. Aren't those muzzle kisses sweet? I am jealous that you got to meet the Budster!

You have a great family. And you are right Karla is just as she is here, sweet, gentle...and very talented!!!

Thanks so much for sharing!

butterflywing 08-09-2010 08:05 PM

last year (i believe it was) karla and mark fed the minis sunflower seeds. karla cleaned out the poop.
the poop got piled up in a corner of the yard.
this year, guess what happened. is that a wonderful surprise, or what?

the gift that will keep on giving.

sewnsewer2 08-09-2010 08:13 PM

Great pics! Thanks for sharing them :)

quilterguy27 08-09-2010 09:05 PM

Oh so precious. I just changed my avatar. Prevously I was with Dakota, a beautiful paint colt. I'm guessing they are minis. I so love horses. It's a toss up between horses and my dogs. Don't make me choose.

How wonderful is that? I used to feed the squirrels sunflower seeds (way out back) to keep them from pulling my grass up but the little buggers would bury them in the yard to dig up later and to keep the others from eating them. I stopped when the seeds went so high above my limited income, Roy never liked me feeding them. He thought all the oaks we have are more than enough acorns but I loved watching them.

What a lovely visit! and I love all pics of the horsies.... :lol:

sandpat 08-20-2010 12:19 PM

BFW...looks like you had a great visit! You should have been nice and taken all those cookies with you so Karla didn't have to force herself to eat them though.... :wink: :roll: :lol: :lol:
