Beautiful photos from Austria.
Thank you, Elenor!
Mom's horse.
When I was eleven, I attended Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, a Catholic, Dominican, college-preparatory all girls boarding school, situated on top of a mountain in La Canada Flintridge. That year my mother married a prominent Australian racehorse trainer. We left for Australia and a really different life. After four years in boarding school and no pets, though I did have horseback riding lessons for a while. Once we were in Australia, I had 1 cat, 2 dogs (Labrador and a Cocker spaniel), a magpie (crow), a pony, a cockatoo, and later a retired racehorse. Heaven. I found this picture of my mother's steeplechase horse, Summer Flower, and lots of good memories from Australia.
So, as I continue to try to purge through my years of stuff, I will occasionally share a memory that distracted me for a while, and it doesn't take much to do that.

Thanks for sharing my poor pics, Jacki. I feel so honored. It will be frosty all over the next week. But that's what winter should be like.
Have a good week ahead, Jacki!
Thanks for sharing your memories, Jacki. I wonder how you felt going away from the world you were used to. And from your dad.
Thanks, Elenor. I was raised in a different time. We weren't asked if we'd like to, we just did what we were told. Actually, it was a wonderful experience, as was boarding school. My Dad wasn't happy about it, but he came to visit once during my four year stay and of course I wrote letters.
So much emotion in this face. :-)
Thanks, John. You know I think of all the mother who have lost children in this monstrous war. I just kept adding worry lines.
