If you live in the States, my comments won't publish. I suspect you have noticed that, too. Nicole was the one who clued me in to the problem. Please be aware, I visit, regardless. It appears the only people able to publish their comments live outside the states. It appears this problem has been corrected.
It's time for me to share a few more rocking horses. Today I'm joining Nicole for Sunday in the Art Room or SITAR, and Gillena with Sunday Smiles.
As I explained the last time we visited my guest bedroom, there are over 100 rocking horses in this room. The first week I showed pillows, the second I showed stuffed rocking horses. Today I have a mixed bag.
This is my heaviest and most expensive. This is solid brass and weighs a ton. This horse cost $465.00 (USD), but all I paid was the first $45.00. I placed it on layaway about a month before Christmas right before I moved to Wichita, KS. When friends asked what I wanted for Christmas, I told them to put whatever they liked to the layaway. I told the company holding the rocking horse to take the person's name, but not what they donated to the horse. I had put the entire amount away to buy it, just in case no one left any money. Nearly a week before I planned to pick up the horse, I got a call from the company telling me to come pick up the horse. It had been paid in full. I had the names of the people who contributed money to the horse. They were all friends I already had gifts picked out and wrapped for them. I was truly blown away!!! This was the gift of a lifetime.

Happy Sunday
