She can get so caught up in what the media tells us is normal to have - and she just found out at the local Horse Expo. that those pretty bridles with all the bling (flash) come at a price - instead of a typical $40 US dollars, she likes the $85- $150 ones. (sigh) Believe me - her pony isn't worth that much show. lolPlainJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748315137944685936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679222788629761697.post-73899291836377116632009-04-30T11:41:00.000+00:002009-04-30T11:41:00.000+00:00My daughter craves horse and pony stories and rumm...My daughter craves horse and pony stories and rummages through second hand shops and car book fairs for decent finds. She has the Chestnut Hill books (and other similar modern "horse" books) and is always commenting on how the characters have loads of money wishes we were in a similar position! She has a lovely lots of older stories too of course and I know she'd love the David and Pat books - I shall go in search of them.

Our pastor has been focusing on some wonderful messages on what God wants to do in our lives during our recession...here in California it's hit pretty hard.<br /><br />Anyway, thought you might like to know that you've inspired me to start mending again...and I'm working on my hole-y undies.

I'll have a hunt around I think. <br />I like the sound of your Miss Read readalong. How does that work? I just discovered the entire collection in our local library!! Yay! I'm re-reading Winter in Thrush Green at the moment (one of my favourites).<br />Rachel LRachel L from NZhttp://www.homesteadblogger.com/littlebournefarmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679222788629761697.post-79130592762292240342009-04-24T13:12:00.000+00:002009-04-24T13:12:00.000+00:00Lovely post Jackie, thank youLovely post Jackie, thank youLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02842327865295227316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679222788629761697.post-80360263472804231402009-04-24T07:59:00.000+00:002009-04-24T07:59:00.000+00:00I read all those CPT books when I was younger; the...I read all those CPT books when I was younger; they are sooooooooo brilliant. Makes me want to hit the charity shops and read them again. I've got Toymaking with children by my bedside table so it's frugality gone mad here. No more Toys are Us here; just a few bits of wood screwed together by Mum. Don't know how they'll adjust but hey ho, needs must.
