Well,

Its been a quiet week here in Lake Woebegone --- OOPs, I mean here
in Raymond.
The big event of the season is the annual Raymond Christmas Drive,
held last Saturday. Seems to be a tradition to have this event the
same day as High Tea in Woodland. 
I got the girls out to hitch as a  pair for the first time in
months. All went well and the only problem was what to do with 10
pounds of pony hair after cleaning them up a little. 
The drive was beautiful, as many miles as you wanted down a country
dirt road with a view of the snow covered Sierra. Some people did a
little Christmas decorating on their carriages and horses. Only one
went over the top. Joan Ervin's Connemara was wearing antlers and a
red nose. Connemaras may not be perfect but they are very forgiving
of their silly people.
