That. Is. All. That. Matters.<br /><br />A pony you say...?! My mother, who lives hours & hours & hours & hours & hours & hours & hours & hours & hours away from my Grandmother, convinced her that she had bought a clydsdale horse, you know, one of those increadible big beasts with the fluffy feet... everytime my gran rang my Mum or visa versa, she would ask how the horse was going & my mum would say "Just fine" or "A bit quiet". My gran would go on & on to me about how silly it was for my Mother to have a horse. "What does she need a horse for? Does she go grocery shopping with it?!"<br /><br />..I had no idea my Mother had bought this horse, called "China" & I rang her, outraged at not being informed of such a cute & horsey development...<br /><br />That is when she told me that "China" was china. IE A porcelain ornament.<br /><br />"All I told her was that I bought a clydsdale called China."<br /><br />She kept up the charade for FIVE YEARS. I was her ultimate undoing. It all got too much during one of Gran's horse rants & I couldn't stop laughing.<br /><br />Don't ever tell me any secrets, will you?<br /><br />xoVichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00036114016276478304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-23677765909528012412010-02-09T02:24:38.641-08:002010-02-09T02:24:38.641-08:00I hear you sister.

It's way too easy to have something start small and turn into something huge and before you know it, it's stealing you from more important things, no matter how fun it might be. Wise of you to think ahead and realize it's not the right time, but to leave the door open for tomorrow. ;)june at noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14405406383067957490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-66341486055132525922010-02-08T14:10:05.308-08:002010-02-08T14:10:05.308-08:00Good for you for putting yourself and the family f...Good for you for putting yourself and the family first, very important.

I had to leave a comment (not very good at that yet but trying)after reading this post. I can totally relate to what you are going through. This could have been my very words so many times in my life. I had to learn the hard way but it sounds as if wisdom is in charge for you. Your family is very blessed to have your love and highest concern for them....I have chickens too. and I LOVE your story about the Dutchgirl and Lumberjack.
