Last week was a time for sharing joys and concerns. I will start with the concerns, first we said goodbye to Red. Most of you know that he was not our pony, we fortunately just borrowed him from our friends for a few years. It was time for Red to travel on to another family. The old, trusted, fat pony has blessed 5 families. He will be greatly missed. A few tears fell, but we must be thankful for all that we have learned from him. I recently received a picture text from Red's new family and I must admit, it assured us that Red needs to be there. The next concern comes from child #2. Gertrude, the chicken that hatched in her Kindergarten class, is no longer with us. We sadly found her feathers in the yard. Once again, things like this happen, and we can hatch more chicks in the spring. Gertrude will remain as a memory. #2 has also had a sore throat and she smashed her finger in a door, but is feeling much better.
Now for the joy! The concerns are only small issues in our lives. When we look at the BIG picture, we must realize how small our daily troubles are and must remember don't sweat the small stuff!

I do agree!! It doesn't take long for the big man above to put us in our place and realize how lucky we are!!! (especially you-- because of your daily partner in crime!! )
Oh, you girls are getting so wise on life! It sure was fun watching Brett with Red and she needed that stable steed to give you courage. I am wondering which of you shed the tears? I know Briley has had a rough week but all will improve. I am so proud of you all, Love MOM
