Puppy? and Classy SOLD!

Big news here, Rhoda is getting a puppy. Sunday after church Lord willing we are traveling up to Chicago to pick up a fawn female English Mastiff pup with FULL Registration papers and rights.
After taking care of things at the farm, the rain started again. Driving home in the rain is getting to be a common experience. The turkey was done around 9:45am and by the time it was taken out of the oven the pies were ready to go in. Four pumpkin and four pecan were all ready just as soon as the oven had room. While the pies were baking the turkey was sliced and the gravy made. Once the pies were done the other pumpkin dessert was ready to go in the oven. The oven was on from early this morning until late afternoon. The house unfortunately didn't smell as good as it should, I spilled some pumpkin in the oven and that filled the house with smoke. Just about the time the smoke was thick and I was opening the doors to air out the house, Ben, Taunya, and Addyson pulled up. They are staying here for a couple of days. Had to explain about the smoke. Rhoda, Sarah, Ben, and Taunya let me babysit while they did some shopping and went out to eat.
They got back here around 4:30pm so I went out to bring Classy in out of the rain for his new owners. They actually put down a deposit so we will mark him sold. He is going to a GREAT home. The mud is so bad, we took Classy into the indoor arena and let him loose. He had to show off with his HUGE trot. I wasn't sure how he would act, he has never been in the barn but he did good.
A really neat phone call came today. A lady buying a 4 year old Raven daughter called to get some information. She told me that when she first told her trainer she was going to look at a Friesian TB cross in Indiana, the trainer was not at all thrilled. She told him the 4 year old is by the Friesian stallion Raven down in Peoria, IL. He said, "I know that stallion, BUY her!"
What a wonderful reputation Raven's offspring are getting!
