I Must Share This

[Just Saying]

The Tuggle Party rode out this morning. They were going to leave yesterday but the little girl was under the weather so they stayed over to make sure she was OK. (our barn is 2 blocks from a Level 1 Trauma Center) It'll take them a couple of days to reach Covington,IN where Tim & Lynn's family are. They'll hole-up there for a while, then head on. What a blessing to meet these folks.

Someone that they met along the way showed up at our barn shortly after their arrival with some hay. We're going to do the same as they get further down the road... kind of a "pay it forward" thing. Can't take much because they don't stay one place very long, and have no way of taking much excess with them. Heck, might do it a couple times... they are good company and it makes us feel good to be part of their journey.

Lynn Tuggle has a facebook page that gives updates on their mission, but only when they can get time & access.

It's a comfort to know as the economy grows worse and if I lose my house, I can bunk in the JS barn!!!   I'll earn my keep by coming over to the house and making some Johnny cakes for breakfast on ocassion!

This story balances out the rotten SOB's that stole the Delaware equipment......just when you think the world has gone off it's axis, you get a warm fuzzy like this, thank you JS for giving me a much needed feel good that the world isn't as horrible as it seems.

We live in a political environment where a lot of time, energy, and money is spent finding ways to divide us, having the result of eroding our belief in the inherent goodness of our neighbors.  A story like this refreshes my spirit.  Thanks, JS.

I had a Facebook squabble the other day with a woman who proclaimed there weren't any good horsemen and she was one!  I argued with her there were actually more good than bad......she said, "where?"....I then pointed out the man who posted right above her had spent countless hours caring for horses stranded last summer at Tioga due to the flooding.....there is no less or more, good and bad people involved in horse racing than there is in the general population.......but all anyone wants to elaborate on is how horrible everyone is........whatever happened to, "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?'
