Oh my gosh, you ladies make me cry. Not bad tears but just knowing in my heart how wonderful you all are.

Thank you so much. Really truly I thank you. I wish I could come up with better words right now to tell you how much I appreciate you all.

Teenah is resting in such a beautiful place now. It's in a park like setting. She is next the the river, green tall soft grass and beautiful trees surround her.

This fall I will plant tulip bulbs where she rests. This way every spring I will see beautiful flowers and remember how she is running free.

Life works in many mysterious ways. Weeks ago I came across this horse in OK I really liked. He is very calm and thought how even my husband could ride him. I was going to give him another visit and if it all worked out to buy him. He would keep Teenah company in the pasture and I was thinking of selling my other horse Wildflower. Well, now that Teenah has passed it looks like Wildflower will be with this other horse if I buy him.

So today I will be driving to OK w/ my horse trainer to look at this gelding. I have to keep taking deep breaths because I can't explain it, but still feel a little sick feeling from the other night over Teenah. So I have to relax today when I am around this gelding and push my pain from Teenah aside for a moment. I am just not sure if I can do that today yet. But I shall try.

Anyway - you ladies are so great and I will be back to 4wt as soon as things stop spinning around here and it all gets back to an even kilt.

Thank you all again and I send all of you hugs of gratitude.

I know we all talked about changing our avatars to show our faces. But, Teenah is in my avatar and I think for awhile Id like to keep her on it. I remember that day when this pic was taken. It was a great ride that day, warm and sunny.
