I have very fond memories of MY grandmother ..... one of the things MY grandmother used to say is "everythning comes to he who waits" ....... when I get in a hurry for something I stop and think what my grandmother used to say to me. What I'm trying to say is that you will remember all the nice things bout your grandmother, her horses and computer for a long time to come .......

Before anyone hollars at me that I did a stupid thing, I want to tell everyone that I KNOW I did a stupid thing - and that I've already yelled at myself so long and hard that I'll NEVER do what I did ever again ...... It's Friday the 13th -- that SHOULD have been a clue for me to stay in ed .... but, I didn't -- and, after work I decided to take SEDONA and my little surrey down the street for a drive. I had forgotten to get my sunglasses so I drove up to the house, got out of the surrey and proceeded into the house for the forgotten sunglasses. I did not tie SEDONA -- she was standing quietly -- I went into the house (I've one this a number of times -- with X, Tuffy AND SEDONA ..... never thought it might lead to trouble). As I came out of the house I spotted SEDONA trotting down our driveway (it's 200 feet from our house to the road in front of our house). I started on a dead run after her. She so very polietly made a turn out of the driveway into the roadway -- if one didn't know what was happening you would think hat the driver really did a good job maneuvering a turn with the horse at a full trot. I'm running MADLY down the street after my "runaway" horse and carriage ...... one neighbor tried to catch hold of SEDONA but SEDONA has having no part of it. Another neighber ran to his car, raced down the driveway shouting to me 'GET IN' .... here I am half way in and he guns it ..... SEDONA was headed for ROUTE 80 (VERY busy road). I was praying that she would stop and fearing that she wouldn't and she and the surrey would get t. But, as luck would have it, (and the Good Lord looking after me and my horse), ALL traffic STOPPED ...... heck, cars were lined up a mile going west AND going east ... they just let SEDONA go wherever she wanted to go. By the time *I* got to that intersection I saw SEDONA alongside the road (in the grassy area) just trotting as if she were going to a Sunday Social. ALL traffic was stopped and sitting still and everyone had their headlights on. A very nice young man jumped out of his pickup truck and stopped SEDONA. I was never so happy to see anyone in my entire life. By this time Buddy had gotten to the scene in his Jeep. SEDONA was NOT scared ..... she wasn't even blowing hard nor was she shaking -- she was calm as a cucumber -- *I* was the one scared half out of y mind. Buddy drove her back home ...... on a trot and he kept ON trotting her right on past our house down the road. By the time they got back SEDONA was ready to be VERY quiet and stand still. I know I SHOULD have tied her ...... and, ya'll can bet I'll NEVER leave her (or any other horse)_ unattended ever again!!! --- * Origin: Home of Mr X's 'XTRAORDINARY CARRIAGE SERVICES!

(Now, only a friend could do that!) Glad everything worked out ok...phew! bet you're still shaking! You don't know how lucky you are that everyone was so cooperative and that Sedona stayed so calm! Most horses would have spooked and taken off at a run and really gotten into trouble. She sounds like she was just out for a little trot about! Some horse!
