Good Morning Everyone!
What a fun day! I have so many wonderful things going on in my life that I want to share with you! Firstly, HERE I AM…in the above photo…DANCING! It is a photo of my BRONZE. YEAH! Dottie was able to request #19/100 for the contest. Bet you can’t guess why she wanted this particular number? We thought it would have a great deal of meaning and significance, for sure! So, 19 is the NUMBERED BRONZE being reserved for our LUCKY WINNER.
Also, she met with the postal people again yesterday afternoon and this is the address to use when mailing your post cards for the contest. Please address the cards exactly as follows:
ZENYATTA John Shirreffs 511 S. First Ave #230 Arcadia, CA 91006
Each day, they are going to place the cards that arrive in large carrying containers for John to pick up. He will then take them to the barn for the drawing. It is getting very, very exciting!
In relation to the timeframe for the draw, we want to give you time for your cards to arrive from all over the country etc. Thus, we will do the DRAWING for the 64 contestants on Monday, APRIL 4, 2011. Technically, the last day for mail delivery is Saturday, April 2nd. The DRAWING will take place on the following Monday, the 4th, after training hours at BARN 55!
Please have fun with all of this and drive carefully as you go to the Post Office to mail your cards. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
Just heard that LIFE IS SWEET is in the foaling barn! Hooves Crossed for her today! I’ll keep you posted.
Another very cute thing is happening today! It is my BERNIE’S BIRTHDAY! He was born on March 23, 2003. I hope he has a fabulous day! My BIRTHDAY is coming up soon as well, April 1st. Bernie is a year older than I am…but this is TOO CUTE…we are both ARIES. I guess I’m going to have to read about all of the fabulous qualities of an ARIES and see how much we are alike. John’s MOM, Mary Jane, is an ARIES as is Dottie’s sister, Fran. From my personal experiences, this is a great sign! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BERNIE!
Enjoy your day!
With Love,
Hugs to ALL~ (And a special BIRTHDAY HUG for my BERNIE!)

I’m so excited over the possibility of Dottie reading my post card!

Oh wow, I never thought about you being an Aries before… That makes so much sense!

Dear Zenyatta: I can’t stop staring at that beautiful baby boy. Thank you so, so much for showing him to us. I agree with L.S. – he DOES look so much older and stronger than a one day old infant. Bless your friend in her role as a new Mama. Surly, Life Is Sweet for her today. A High Five for whomever thought of “Sweet Strike.” It’s perfect.
What a wonderful day today, Zenyatta. One new baby already born, and our Zen Baby growing safely. Day 28 scan, and all is well! Hooray and good night. xoxoxo

@Dawn & Kennedy:
Thank you. What I meant to say was that my final post being the last for the day. I realized that I (IMO) was getting post happy (posted 3 in a row)….thought it was a bit too much.,,,it’s not hard to do on here. ;)

I apologize to you sv as I was responding to a couple other comments; I was in the wrong. I should have stated my comment genericly. It is seldom I get involved except to speak to lovely Z. Sorry, it was not aimed at you personally at all.

@ HolllyT: Yeah, great idea! :) I wonder how many Wyoming-ites will send in cards….?? Sometimes I feel like the only person around here that’s even heard of horse racing at all!!! :)

Heh, didn’t realize before that B and Z were both Aries! High five from a March 27 Aries! :D
