My last name was Roper at the time and there was a horse named Roper's Raider, so she bet a dollar (probably) and sent me her winnings in the mail.

I actually need very little to get through a day. As soon as I am itch free I am going to be uncluttering my life dramatically.

I have been feeling just that way, and coupled with the neverending gloomy, grey, and cold weather we had ALL OF MARCH AND APRIL (and the start of May), I could not get out of the tunnel. <br /><br />The story of your mom and picking horses made me smile.
