Hi Ho And Away We Go

Revealing your age? Naaaaaw! Can't be. That was my nick name in high school. I was quite upset when a couple of the girls, my kid sister included, arranged to have the name "Hoppy" inscribed in my class ring, without my knowledge or consent.

Great story.

Another good story, Kathe. I taught SPecail Ed several years beofre moving to FL and grew to love it.

This is so neat. I know a guy that has a heeler that responds to two languages, bracero and english. He gets poor and disabled kids out to his ranch and treats them to a day of food and watching Bi-lingual Meg do her cattle herding tricks. That is the most amazing dog I've ever seen do anything.

Another great story from someone who can pour them out. Wish I could! Thanks, Kath for sharing.

Hello Granny!
Recovering from three late nights at the Great Reunion, and possibly a little giddy, but this is a fascinating piece of work.
For this girl who came from boats, saltwater joys, and living on a Rock in the North Atlantic--it drew me into a whole new world. Loved it!
GO, GRANNY, GO!!!!!!!

Kathe, I always love your stories. This one makes me feel as if I were there participating with you during this special outing with the kids.

Another great story. It brought back a memory of an afternoon that our company employees went 'for a ride'. When we arrived, there were six parents and kids there for their weekly riding lesson. The special thing were the kids, all handicap. It seemed that the owner donated the horses and time for the 'special kids'. Later, when I talked to him, he said that he got more out of the weekly rides than the kids. I know what he meant.

Interesting account of enjoyable days gone by. I can picture the kids and the donkeys and your helping them learn to ride. What a special time it must have been for the children and their parents. Naidine Sanderlin

Love this story, Kath. I can just picture the whole scenario as it unfolded. Kids DO say the darndest things, don't they?

A beautiful story Kathe.....I'm always amazed at the wonderful things you have done in your life...for others.......marilyn (Okla)

That "edge" you lived on must have been really something! You had to be sharp to keep from falling off it, with all the hats you wore! Good story and great dialogue. Barbara
