Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

I BEEN THINKING

I was thinking about the horse I have been using since we moved here. He was a nut case when we got here but was a beautiful Palomino. I figured if I could work with him a few days he'd be alright. I had some terrific rides and some to scare you to death for the first two years but now he's one of the horses we can DUDE. That means anyone can ride him and he'll take care of them. He's turned out to be one whale of a good horse.

Only trouble with that is I just realized he has to be over 12 years old now which means he is over half a useful lifetime old for a horse. I can't believe how fast time is going. It seems like only yesterday that we came here.

I think I'm about that point in my life too. ;)

I know! You guys have lived there for seven years! (I was 21 when you moved...crazy, huh?)

It is crazy that we have been here that long. Delerious I seriously hope that I am way way way over half way through my life.

When I get to the point that I am no longer useful and can't remember anything I hope someone will put me down.

Palominos are my favorite!
