Veterans's Day

It's 7:30 a.m. on Veterans Day and I'm sitting in bed with my kitten Moses on my chest as I write this. My husband is sleeping beside me. He is a Vietnam veteran. He has the day off work because of the holiday. If I sit up and look to the left I can see our three horses standing like statues in our back yard. Their names are Zazu, Nora and Tessi. All three are Morgan mares. Zazu is 13 years old - she is my first horse. Nora is 25 years old - we got her when she was 20. Tessi is 3 years old. She is Zazu's baby. In a moment I'll get up to feed them their breakfast. I'll also feed the rest of the gang - that is our three angora goats, six hens, four cats and our dog.
