Memory Lane

Today, 10 years ago, we lost one of my favorite childhood horses. Precious.
She was a beautiful bay Arabian mare. She was 19 years old when she passed.
I didn't get to find a lot of pictures of her, besides I think most of the really good ones are film and packed. :-/
Anyways this is Precious, also known as Preshy. :)

These are of her in her winter coat. Wasn't she beautiful?!

Then about 6 years ago we lost Preshy's sister Angel.
Angel was a race horse when she was younger and was "Race Mare of the Year" in 1994 and 1995!
She was undefeated, well, unless she raced against her stablemate boy friend. ;)
I'm serious, she would see him coming up behind her on the race track and slow down so he could pass so would end up coming in 2nd instead of 1st!
I only have a couple pix I took when I was little, I didn't get enough time to look for the disks with photos as most of her pictures are packed in the storage shed along with Preshy's.

Wasn't she beautiful too!?


Also about 8 years ago, we lost everyone's favorite pony. Galloper.
His name was Gallagher (sp?) when we got him, but us girls were little and couldn't say that so we changed his name to Galloper. :)
My mom used to give riding lessons and most of the kids rode him when we lived in Yacolt and had an indoor riding arena. :D

Sweet boy!

I loved to ride him around bareback in the pasture. :)

These are my childhood horses that I grew up with.
Though one of them is still around, Poppy and he is 33 and doing amazing!! :D
He is the best horse ever too!!

Have a great week everyone!

  P.S.
I have a good reason for not posting last week, honest!
I will share it with you all on Thursday. ;)

 Ok, so I have three favorite actors as I can't decide which of the three are my favorite. :)
So in no special order, here they are:

Most everyone should know James Stewart, that is if you've watch "It's a Wonderful Life".
 Other great movies that he's in are:
"You Can't Take It With You"
"Mr. Smith Goes to Washington"
"The Glenn Miller Story"
And countless others! :)

My favorite movie with Cary Grant is "Arsenic and Old Lace".
Its a comedy, and is absolutely hilarious!!

My favorites with Myrna Loy are the "Thin Man" series, they're comedy detective movies.

She's played in several movies I've watched, like "The Stratton Story"and "The Glenn Miller Story"with James Stewart.
She's also starred Jo March in one of the Little Woman movies that's out there!

4. Do you like to have a snack while you watch a movie? If so, what's your favorite?
Normally, no. But popcorn is good. :)

5.What's your favorite genre?
 I don't know, I like different ones, so no favorite.

I think it would have to be:

 Seasons 1,2 & 3. :) (sadly they won't be making another)

10.What was the last movie you watched in the theaters?

Umm..... Ice Age: Continental Drift.  (as you can see we go there a lot) *cough, cough* ;)
Eh, it was okay, not near as good as the 1st one. (in my opinion)
 Actually, I've only been to a theater two times in my life!
And the first time really doesn't count because it wasn't even a
movie is was a documentary on the Grand Canyon which was kinda cool. :)
