ITP and geographical location!

I love horses, too. We have two horses: a 10-year old Arab, and 4-year old palamino. They are both a lot of fun; it's like having a big "dog" around. My husband loves the horses, too, and has really been helpful in taking care of them.

The above picture is my son, George, on our Palomino. The next picture will be our Arab and my Husband. I had to sell my beautiful paint when I got sick this last time.

Ah! They are gorgeous, Dee Dee! (Both the horses and your 'boys')

I remember stopping at the old reenactment cowboy town in Norco, when my oldest boys were really into that sort of thing. It was a highlight of our trip for them.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Ooh, like April said, they are beautiful! I would have loved to see your paint. There's actually a paint in the story I've been writing since high school! ;) When we first moved here, there were a horse and pony just around the corner from us, they'd been here for years. One day, they just seemed to disappear and I thought they had been put in the barn for the nights (during the summer, they were out 24/7); found out later that some one had killed them. Don't know why anyone would do that. Now even the owner is gone, he passed away a few weeks ago.

OOps, sorry, didn't mean to bring anyone down or high jack the site! :blush:

Very beautiful animals!

Now I'd like to ask Melanie37 a question. Are you going to put the location information together and let us know what you found out?

My daughter was born, raised, and diagnosed in SC. Sandi, I think I recall the map was called a "flapper" map. You could put a "pin" for your location. Shame we don't have one on this jazzy new website. (Hint)

Here's a start, if someone with technical know-how can set it up on here. I couldn't find a "flapper map." (Not even sure that was the name, but I think it was.) This site said you could add its maps for free to your website. I used all my tech knowledge and skill finding it. I have none left. (That's why I was a political science major. Little real science required, and no math.)

I wanted to add that it could be just a coincidence, but my counts increased when I spent the summer in New Orleans (I'm from CO) as soon as I came back they dropped and have never been so high.
