Dear Max:
You’ve got me laughing out loud. Too funny. Yes, I guess it would be a very carefree life. I have a visual of us breaking out of the starting gate in the BCC trying to get a jump on the horses. Lucky for us we wouldn’t be racing Z. Hugs, JB

Beautiful poems ( referring to birthday section of the blog) Trina – I am not sure how to navigate all of these various discussion groups. Certainly will take some time for me to figure out. Love the various categories. I wasn’t sure at all where to post just non-related to Zenyatta news. I did want to share that my son Steve is home in the U.S.A after serving in Afghanistan for over a year. Received a call this morning on his way home from Kansas City Airport. I know there is a poster whose husband is currently in Afghanistan – I wish I could remember her name. I want to extend my prayers and thoughts for his safety and all others. I’m very glad Steve is home with his family in Warrensburg/Whiteman AFB. Not sure what his next assignment will be. Zenyatta’s website and the caring posters sure helped me throughout his deployment. You are all so kind in your thoughts and prayers. All the Zen-news and feedback helped me immensely. You are all the tops! Everyone have a wonderful weekend.
A super huge shout out to Trina for helping me post this on the blog. I did not realize most everyone was still posting on the last diary entry. I wrote the above in the “birthday portion ” of the forum. I had no idea what I was doing. I was unsure with all the categories. In any event. Trina has guided me through all this computer stuff – such a Zen -like teacher. Thanks Trina.
Now I have catching up to do on this blog because I didn’t realize folks were still posting on it . Love that you are. Serious catching up to do.

Great news Delrene! So happy for you that Steve is safely home.

Dear Terry Crow:
You can start your own Discussion page on the Forum just for Redneck jokes. Or if you prefer to stay on the blog, many of us would like you to continue posting the jokes. We enjoy them. Very fun. Hugs, JB

Z'isters of Omaha
Tomorrow is a milestone in Thoroughbred history. Eighty years ago on March 24, the great American Triple Crown winner Omaha was foaled from royal breeding. His sire was Gallant Fox, the second Triple Crown winner. His dam was Flambino, also a Grade I winner who ran third in the 1927 Belmont Stakes. His performances in the 1935 Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes were so dazzling that they together led to the formalized usage of the term “Triple Crown” as he became its third winner. He went on to become the only Triple Crown winner to race in England, winning the Queen’s Plate and running second in the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Ascot Gold Cup. The latter performance must have been akin to Zenyatta’s heroic second to Blame in the 2011 Breeder’s Cup Classic, because it was what endeared him most to the Brits. At stud, Omaha was said to have been a failure, yet he was the third generation dam sire to Nijinsky II and three other Kentucky Derby winners. As a young man, Morton Porter accompanied Omaha when he traveled by train from New York to Omaha, Nebraska, his namesake city. From that point, Mr. Porter made it his life’s work to care for Omaha until the great warrior died in his stall at Porter’s farm in 1959. Mr. Porter remains behind, still reminiscing about his old friend, and it is to him we also pay tribute for caring so much for one of the 11. Unlike the other 10, the location of Omaha’s remains is not known. Originally buried at Aksarben race track in Omaha, efforts to find his remains years later, as development encroached, were unsuccessful. Regardless, he still ranks among the greats of the American turf and in our memories as we honor him today.

High hoof to OMAHA on his 80th birthday and to his protector MR. MORTON PORTER, who is now 85, I believe.

HAPPY FRIDAY – there is a new “NEWS” post with a great picture and news about the next dad to be!!!
Anne from Paramount, CA
Hello all Dumplings! Have no clue who is reading what or where at this point. I just “applied” for new Forum–will see what occurs. Was able to read the comments here–now will try to “peek”in elsewhere. @OUR QUEEN: what do you think of your next date? (Can’t help still talking to you! :) )
Can somebody respond (anyone) just so I know I am not on an island on this Saturday the 24th?
@Terry Crow: nice to see/hear/read you again!
Diana Stuart Not on an Island - Drat!
@Anne: Hi – you are not on an island. I’ve been on an island, or two, and you are definately not on one – – – unless the San Andreas lets loose! I’m guessing the link at the top labeled BLOG is for sequential posting – kinda like the Diary was, while the Forum is to discuss specific topics. Oh listen to me – haven’t even gone to either but am guessing based on what others say. Since your post was 3/24 and this is 3/30, my bet is everybody is having a party on the BLOG and I am talking to myself here. Swell.

P.S. to Zenny: I would just love to nuzzle that fuzzy face you have for a son. He is BEYOND TOO CUTE!
