Last Saturday us kids went to our Aunt Helena's house, while our parents went on a mini vacation! Because Sunday was our little cousin Jayne's baby dedication, as well as we were going to have thirty-some people over, we spent most of Saturday cutting up veggies and making stew, chili, Jayne's cake, and mine. We ate my birthday cake, which was a Chocolate Pudding cake, on saturday. On Sunday morning we went to church, then got back early to get the lunch ready. There was a lot of leftovers! I spent my afternoon reading. At faspa, they sang "Happy Birthday" to me three times because first, not everybody sang, second, Jewel blew out my candle, (which was a match) and then third when I blew it out. The Friday before, my parents gave my my present, which was a designer scrapbook! Then Sunday when they got back, they presented me with a emerald pendant on a golden chain, as well, for my birthday! Now I have 364 days til my 14th!!!
"The Gypsy Vanner, also known as a Gypsy Cob, Colored Cob, Irish Cob, or 'Tinker Horse' is a breed of horse which is usually of Tobiano coloring and has many draft horse characteristics. There is no exact known history of the Gypsy Cob. It is believed that the Gypsy Cobs are descended from a combination of Shires, Clydesdales, Friesians, and Dale Ponies with their origins in the United Kingdom and Ireland."
