Late but great news....

I got so excited that I forgot to post last month that Zenyatta is again with foal.  All was fine with the 60 day checkup.  So sometime in February 2012 (or March) Zenny will give birth.  Bernardini is still the proud sire.

Can hardly wait!!!!!!

Congratulations to Kiely and Alan

She (our niece) got her ring and proposal on Sunday night. 

And I'd say she made out pretty good.  All good things are worth waiting on, eh Kiely?

Beautiful ring for a beautiful girl.  A wonderful life together to you both!

Two graduates!

Our family had two graduates - both with honors!  So very proud of them both!

My great niece, Victoria!  Vice-President of her Class!

Our nephew, Evan with a fellow graduate!  President of his Class!

Bright futures for them both!

Newest member of the family..

Winston, a 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi that we got on Friday, April 29, 2011, the day of the Royal Wedding - how appropriate!  I will post better pictures later.  These are some of the previous owner's ad pictures.  He is going to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully to the groomer this weekend.

20th Anniversary of the Komen Indy Race for the Cure

Well it was a muddy mess but none of us in pink were going to let that stand in the way of a great day.  It always is, rain or shine.  It is an inspiring event.  Thanks to Komen Indy and all of the volunteers for making it great!  My 27th year as a survivor and my ninth race and pink parade.

The 50 year survivors back to the 20 year survivors are a pretty small group as you can see.  From that point back the group gets bigger.  The one year and five year survivors being the biggest.  Hopefully, someday these numbers will be reversed.

Much love to all my sisters in pink.  Those before me and those after me.

So disappointing..

They scanned Zenyatta yesterday and found she is no longer with foal.  Maybe it was too soon to bred her as she had practically just came off the track.  Hopefully the next time will take and she has such good owners I am sure they will do only what is best for her.  Afterall, they didn't seriously race her until she was almost four.   I have not seen any updates for Rachel Alexandra. 

Will you answer the call?

Noah Gabriel Smurdon

I wanted to share this information with you all.  I could tell you all about Noah, but instead I will post this link so that you can see for yourself what an amazing little boy he is.  I say is not was because as you will see he is still doing good work here on Earth, even though he is in Heaven.  His Mommy and Daddy are amazing people and it is very clear as to the reason Our Lord chose them to be his parents.  If you can, please donate to this cause and I will really appreciate it.  No matter what, please go to this link and read his story.

There you will also find the link to his CaringBridge page where you can know him and his parents even better.

Letting Noah go....
