Miss Marguerite wrote about my cousins Paul & Maureen in that book; it was based on real people – but the Phantom was a black & white pinto and the Pied Piper was one of Uncle Clare’s stallions, also. Misty was born on Pony Penning Day in 1946, and Marguerite bought her that day and had her shipped to her home when she was a weanling…

My phone is a landline that only receives voice messages if I don’t answer. Don’t have a cell phone and do NOT want one. Don’t want anyone to be able to access my private info, or to trace me around. They are awful inventions.
Nedi got salmon in gravy this morning…
