Let's see.........I have a moose that is a statue! This is from a trip with friends. We were in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and this statue was in the library.

This weekend part of the pack of hounds went somewhat off course. I went to try to help and when I got there they had got most of the pack back together, but had to trot up the road for a way to get to a safe location hang out waiting for other hounds to re-appear. They did have a "road whip" driving along behind them with its emergency blinkers on to ensure no cars came racing up behind. It's unusual for the hounds to cross a road since foxes usually circle around within their territory. Someone thought the hounds were on the scent of a coyote, which run more in a straight line. In any case, luckily none of the hounds were lost or injured.

On Sunday the Hunt Club held a "Hunter Pace" which is a timed trail ride on a marked course in small groups. The weather and the views were absolutely beautiful. After that they hosted the Virginia Field Hunter Championship, a judged mock hunt (no huntsman, no hounds and no foxes) going out over much of the same land, in a big group, with judges riding along determining which rider and horse have the best form.

maire, no I never wanted to give up on it...I find them compelling almost to the point of obsession. You can look up jigsaw murder mystery on amazon and you'll find a bunch. I just get puzzles from my library...they lend them out with no due date, so you can take as much time as you like.
