Good Morning,
Well, to all of my friends born on April 1st…and ME…HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (That includes Dottie’s sister, Fran!) I think I’m having some FUN visitors today from California to help me celebrate. It should be exciting!
Here is my cake from last year’s party at Barn 55! This is the photo of me literally taking a huge bite out of it. As Steve reminded Dottie yesterday, ZENYATTA really likes frosting! I bet my cake this year will have some!
I hope you have a wonderful day! The postcards are arriving. We begin the drawing next week.
I’m off to get ready for my guests! We’ll take lots of photos to share with all of you!
It’s PARTY TIME!
Yippee!
With Love,
Hugs to All~

@Sally (B): You’re welcome! More than others I’ve seen, that Tribute focused on just how much heart she has, there were some surprising not-so “famous last words” about her, and the music swept the theme along. It was nicely put together. Here’s the link again, for any who missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llf8gdfCRIE

Dear Z Fans,

As others have mentioned on this day, Zenny, a birthday gift to Old Friends on your behalf sound like a winner to me. So that is going out today. You always have given so much to us, it feels good to be giving something in your name! Love and kisses.

Dear Zenyatta Good morning. I hope you had a Great Birthday. The class and I sang to You Logan, Corey and Brooke. They also have April birthdays. We finished our celebration by reading a play. The children love to act. I also want to mention Susan and her class. They did such a nice video for you. My class and I enjoyed it very much. She has a very talented group of 2nd graders. Way to go Susan and class! Well my sweet girl enjoy your time with your family. I love you and hope you have a Great weekend. Hugs and Kisses from Shari in Ohio XXXOOO

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET LADY ZENYATTA!!! Thanks for Dottie for posting that “too cute” birhtday photo at Barn 55 that John provided, that wonderful cake eating birthday celebration! Zenyatta, you are so awesome & I am so proud of you for all your accomplishments in your racing career and all the awards that honor accomplishments and most of all the heart of love you have that touches everyone in a special way that meets the needs of that person. Zenyatta,on my postcard I told you that God used YOU as a Lifeforce with supernatural qualities to help me to go forward in life as you did in your 20th race. You faced the biggest challenge of your racing career to show me to face my challenges in life head on, never give up,to have hope & give it my best try, and to enjoy life. You showed AGAIN WHAT A SUPERHORSE you are! You are the complete TB racehorse with racing talent,a brilliant brain, wisdom from perfect training & beauty that melts one’s heart all of which is combined in an olympian sculpturesque body. In that 2oth race I heard them say “This is unbelievable! The Great Zenyatta once again comes from behind to past the horses that were so far ahead, to a nose to nose finish.” To me, Zenyatta you won that day. I’m here today because of you. You connected with my heart & soul that day. That’s why you are My Sweet Lady Zentatta and I humbly say “Sending Hugs & Kisses With Love to thank you. My birthday wish is that you have a long, happy, healthy & safe life filled with sunshine & fun. In post #216, I told you how I was going to celebrate your birthday. That didn’t happen. I sat with my 85 y.o.cousin with Alheizmer’s as his life is coming to a close. I thought about you & imagined you with your Cal. family & friends making your birthday special. I was there with you in spirit. I love you, Zenyatta more than you know. Sending Love & Kisses With Love From Alabama, Amanda Gilliland
