Two more minis went to a new home

Jasper and Hazey went to their new home on Christmas Eve. I believe this is the first time in many years that we sold out of colts.

We do still have some nice miniature mares available. They are on the website at www.unicornerfarm.com.

Season's Greetings

Well, another Christmas has passed. I am always sad when it is over. I hope everyone received a special blessing this season. And a gift that they truly wanted. My sweet son, Jeff, gave me a neat digital photo frame. And his girlfriend Robin gave us a really fun game... the latest Cranium. We played it Christmas day and it was a hoot.

Overall we had a great time, with good food and good health... well, Bob was fighting allergies, it appears the Noble Fir is the culprit. So it was outside by noon yesterday. Booo... it will be artificial trees from now on. In fact, he just called to say he found a 7.5 foot pre-lit tree for half off at Wal-Mart.

Avery's first photo

My niece Kelly sent me a photo of her daughter that will be born next February. Isn't she precious? And isn't technology amazing that a photo like this can be taken before a baby is born?

Here is a really neat website about names...

Find out what you should have been named, based on your personality traits. Test your knowledge of names with questions about origin, meaning, popularity, and more on this website sponsored by the Family Education site.
