Passing Notes in Church

About six months ago, a friend stopped by to visit, bringing her eight year old son. He was fascinated by my collection, and I ended up giving him a mini circus pony when he left.

These are HO Preiser Performing Horses in a scale of 1/87, and made by a company in Germany that creates items for railroad hobbyists. Smaller than Mini Whinnies, they have excellent detail and paint jobs for their size.

I'd forgotten about his visit and having given him one of the circus ponies. (He'd sent me a thank you note shortly after receiving the model.)  But my memory was jogged when I received this note after church services Sunday.

That's the third or fourth note that I have received from kids after church recently. All have been about horses, and some have had cute little drawings accompanying the note. (And how sweet that he invited me over to play games!)

Do you suppose my horseshoe earrings or necklace are giving me away? Or maybe it's my purse that has an embossed galloping horse on it? Whatever the reason, I love getting the notes and pictures, and I sure hope there are more of them in my future.
