      Dear BGG,

      Thanks for this link. No one is more deserving of this award than Art Sherman! He is certainly a class act and is the trainer (and best friend) of a magnificent California Chrome.

    Congratulations to all winners!
    Well done Team Z! Great total for TRC.

    It occurred to me that we Z’sters are ALL winners since we have the gift of this wonderful blog — a priceless gift from the Mosses which allows us to be connected to our beloved Zenyatta. We are connected to each other, also, and are very grateful.

    A most Happy Thanksgiving to Mr. and Mrs. Moss, all of Team Z and LE, and all friends here on the Zenyatta Blog!! Bless you Z, and bless us all.

    Hugs and Love

      Dear Judy B.,

      Thank you for this link. I am so happy that beautiful Charismatic is coming home to Old Friends to spend the rest of his days being loved and admired. If I had an extra $200 lying around, it would certainly go for this. I wonder if they accept small donations with no expectation of material reward? Good Luck to this cause!

      Bless Charismatic and his late buddy, Chris Antley.

      Hugs and Love

    Congrats to all the winners! I am happy to be a small part in a big cause. Love you so much Zenyatta and a huge thanks to Team Z for allowing us to continue to be a part of your life.

    November 23 Cherokee Devotional

    Start out in faith, but know the very act of faith brings challenges. No one cares when we sit in silence and do nothing. When actually doing something, taking a step forward, stirs the heart of envy.
    Opposition is the first sign that we are doing something that should be done. No one else has had the courage to do it, but criticism doesn’t take courage. Action takes courage.
    If you want to move mountains, go move them. Don’t let anything stop your good thoughts and constructive words. Even if you have to speak them to yourself quietly, do it. Not once, not twice-speak them over and over, and watch the thing happen. Listen intently and learn to discern what is there to help you-and what is meant to destroy.

    I am glad that I have come here, and that we understand one another.
    -Red Cloud, Sioux

      Dear Kathy,
      Again such wise words. Am going to try to catch up on the past few weeks devotionals. Always so thought-provoking. Hope you have a wonderful day today.
      with love, Elizabeth

        Morning, Elizabeth. You have a wonderful day as well! Are you cooking tomorrow? Hope the turkey is thawing in the fridge! :-)

        Hug, Kathy

        • Dear Kathy,
          Hope you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving as well. We’re going to one of our sister’s-in-laws tomorrow. We used to have the family here. One year we had 65 for thanksgiving, and the oven ‘quit’. We finished cooking in the camper. Now everyone it so spread across the U.S.A, that we rarely get “all” together – too hard to co-ordinate with so many kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
          But we get to see everyone other times of the year. Anyway, wishing you a wonderful day tomorrow. with love, Elizabeth

    Dear Kathy.Great words from the Native Americans once again.No one shall stop my good thoughts or words even if I will have to speak them to myself.We always had a fresh Turkey at Christmas remember poor Mrs Butterball the widow with loads of children?A dry day here and mild too but an elderly gentleman has drowned in the river Ogmore he was driving to collect his wife.
    That was a shocker last night especially in Louisville of all places!I did enjoy the story of Fatboy the cat who was rescued after being stuck up an electric pole for 9 days.They had to turn off the power for a few hours but did he care?No fear Larry was out early this morning making sure his neighbour Big Phil didn’t do a runner.The autumn statement today and in future we will have our budget in the autumn instead of the spring.
    Linda Gray is in one of our soap operas this week It is called “Hollyoaks” set in the Liverpool area.My mother was a huge fan of soaps but I never watch them.Planet Earth is getting huge audiences over here I hope you get to see it in the US.I heard there was 40ins of snow in upstate NY isn’t that Max’s area?I used to follow Why is my cat sad on twitter His owner Tom Cox doesn’t write for the cat magazine anymore and I lost touch.Well the bear has been poorly and has recovered but given up his tweeting now.Tom is keeping on posting though he had 326,000 followers and is 21 now a little frail but still going strong.I think that would be 126 in human terms he has lost all his 9 lives and a lot more besides!Mr Fibbs was enjoying his pea!I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.I will not be here tomorrow or Friday.Be back for the races Saturday.I shall still post on FB.Love and hugs to you,kisses for Angel
    Holly,Nikko and Sugar.SheenaXOXO Enjoying Hovey’s book!

    Dear Sheena,

    I don’t think I ever had a fresh turkey…always the frozen ones. I’ve heard the fresh ones are much tastier. Sad news about that elderly man dying. His poor wife…Yes, that certainly was a shocking story out of Louisville! Oh man…9 days up an electric pole??? No thank you! Linda Gray…I remember her! I’ve only watched one soap opera, All My Children back in the 80s. They had some great story lines! Yes, we get Planet Earth, I think. Yes, I heard about the snow fall in NY. They get a lot! I think that is where Max lives. Congratulations, Tom, on all those followers! 21…that’s remarkable! Always enjoy Mr. Fibbs pics and quotations. We will miss you here, I’ll look for you on FB. Thank you so much for the e-card! Glad you’re enjoying Hovey’s book. Love and hugs from me, kisses from Angel Holly, Nikko and Sugar. Kathy XOXO

    RIP Red Marauder winner of one of the most memorable and controversial races ever run in Great Britain the 2001 Grand National.aged 26yrs he lay down in his box last night and went to sleep forever.i will never forget the exhausted mud splattered horse and jockey win that race in atrocious conditions.He spent his retirement with his jockey Richard Guest enjoying life in the paddock and would parade every year at Aintree.Sleep tight Cariad the sun shines in Heaven alwaysX
    Joining him is the Jonjo O’Neill trained Black Jack Ketchum who has succumbed to the dreaded colic He was 17yrs old I will always remember AP insisting on riding him despite having several teeth knocked out in a previous race.Rest easy Brave boyX

    Congratulations to everyone. Those that won an invitation to visit with Zenyatta are so fortunate.

    I hope all is well with you Zenny. I had a great time at the BC this year. California Chrome brought back the excitement you gave us back in 2010.

    Zenny we have been waiting a long time for you to duplicate yourself. Maybe this next baby is the one. We can only hope. When is your due date again?

    Wishing Team Z and all Zsters a very Happy Thanksgiving.

    Love you Zenny, Coz and Ziconic.

    Love,
    Linda
