First, today is a special day for us as it was five years ago that Pepper came to live with us!
Me meeting Pepper for the first time at the home of the woman she guided, Sarah.
Pepper on the day we brought her to our home. Cow and Donut were her favorites of all the toys we'd bought for her. Go here to read about her first day with us from her perspective in a letter she wrote to Sarah.
We love this girl so much and cannot imagine our lives without her.
Tomorrow is Halloween, of course, and I thought you'd like a look at some of the Halloween decorations around our home - almost all of them horsey.
Illuminati, the 2006 Halloween Horse, is really a cool model. And he is on a vintage mold, the Running Stallion. I have him on display in the sewing room this year.
He's pretty neat in regular lighting, too!
On the upstairs overlook, Crane, Ichabod, and EEK stand on the coffee table. All three glow in the dark.
Cryptic is my favorite Halloween horse of all and, in my opinion, one of the most unusual models Breyer has ever done. He's made to look like a concrete stature that you would find in a cemetery. He, too, glows in the dark.
Beowulf adorns the dining room table - he glows in the dark, too.
We have 16 bags of candy on hand for tomorrow's kiddos. Many of Lisa's students, current and former, live in our neighborhood, so she will be joining us with special treats to give to them, too. As prepared as we are, it would not be unusual to run out of candy. I may run out and buy a few bags more today.
(Perhaps the fact that I've already broken open a bag of Twix and started in on them contributes to that shortage...)
Scheduled for tomorrow? A very special Halloween post.
Stay 'tooned!
