She had three wishes in her young life…..To make the most beautiful quilts ever….To marry a cowboy….To see the clouds from up above. She accomplished this in her close to 100 year life. I hope you have read it.

Just guessing I have no idea. I watch a lot of DIY remodeling homes and just the other day they said horse hair was used with plaster to plaster the walls many years ago.

However, we do have openings for us to slide through and not the livestock. Now I know what to call them. When you go to a live, livestock auction there will be a "Grike" right in front of the auctioneer podium. When cattle come into the ring to be auctioned off, the ring men stay in the pen with the cattle to keep the cattle moving so the buyers can view what they are buying. If an animal, isn't very human friendly and wants to take out the ring man, he can duck behind the "Grike" to stay safe and the cattle can't harm him. Thanks for the info that was fun.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453204755957030500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068518284057885551.post-82161286837191721932014-02-24T10:13:44.636-06:002014-02-24T10:13:44.636-06:00Very interesting.
