We got out of the habit back in 1999 when we moved into Indy's Lockerbie Square neighborhood. And since we moved back to Missouri last year, our attentions have been focused on the inside of the house.
That's all about to change because today, we bought a 1987 Wheel Horse 312-8 lawn tractor. The Horse had one proud owner for its 28-year life and was sold at an estate auction this morning. (Some proud owners have even been known to join the Wheel Horse Collectors Club and meet in Pennsylvania each June for some Horse trading!)
To break in the Horse, Kelly saddled him up and rode him home through the streets of Aurora.

| Past the Pate Early Childhood Center |
 |
| Past the beautiful Aurora countryside still proudly wearing his bidder number |
 |
| Waiting for the traffic to clear on Carnation Drive |
 |
| Past downtown and our favorite store. (Kelly must have run inside Modern Variety to pick up something.) |
 |
| And finally arriving at home. |
I'd love to get a copy of Straight from the Horse's Mouth: The Wheel Horse Story at a fair price for the new Horse owner in the family. Please let me know if you find one.
Yours in Horsing around town,
Mary
