38 m-broke my chain-20 ft away was Randy & Terri automotive. I I think it was a miracle-Terri took OR to bike store -no charge
Waiting for someone to take their picture
Etta-got off tractor to come talk to me-her beef cows
Large Amish & Mennonite communities & farms
Out of water-lady gives us 2 bottles-cat comes over to offer sympathy-Sparky was happy to have new friend
Told Terri I liked to take animal pictures-told me if you stand by fence-cows will come over. Tried it-COWS came running over

Bad luck and miracles often go together. Mary Fran Pena was in a golf tournament on Tuesday and got a hole in one! That night there was a party at the tournament, and it was raining, and Mary Fran slipped and broke her arm. Two nights in the hospital! She’s home now. I love your animal pictures, and I am happy for Sparky that he has a new friend, even if for only a brief moment!
I just talked to Mary Fran’s friend who is staying with her, and she told me that a deer came into MF’s courtyard in front of her house and gave birth to a fawn! MF has a plate and screws holding her arm bone together.
Dear Nancy,
Thanks for the story on Mary Fran. Terrible news about broken arm-hole in 1 & new baby great. See you soon. Love,Karen
