Hi, Mona,
Thanks for the good wishes. I think the transportation to the new barn will
work out okay. Sometimes, Alex can pick me and Panda up if she is on her
way over to the barn at about the same time as I. And the rest of the time
I will press Dennis into service as my driver. He likes to be involved in
my projects, and he gets a kick out of my horses, especially the Icelandics,
(hopefully, not literally), so all will work out fine, I trust.
Mona, could you please write to me off list at
annedie@xxxxxxxxxxxx
as I have a non-list subject that I would like to talk with you about.
Thanks so much.
Best,
Ann
