Wow....those are amazing! Thank you for posting the link. I have already sent it to a few horse lovers. You know, I missed this post until now.....
Bir þey deðil. She has a gallery reasonably near to where my sister lives - although I never heard of her before. I think we might try to visit next time we are back in England.

Lucky you! Her horses are beautiful, they look like Arabians. My cousins had a couple Arabians. She manages to have so much movement in her work. I saw she also has other creatures....like a bear.
Just noticed she has a book...........I may buy it....

Amazing....I also have some long life genes...not as long as you though...mone only got to 100! A long life is not always what it´s cracked up to be though. I´ve seen too many older people who can hardly move, can´t see, pee or chew......alive only at the mercy of those taking care of me..........please just let me go.

Ahhhh.. you can never predict these things. There are some 90+´s running around doing business, while some 50+´s are in nursing homes needing help with using the bathroom...

But of course....I think the object is to be functional, as well as have the will to function. I don´t think many want to be in nursing homes at any age, at least not without the prospect of getting out in a reasonable amount of time. Actually, will has more to do with it.
Some are able to contribute with very limited resources.....Stephen Hawkins comes to mind.

If this story wasn´t so sad.......it would make you chuckle 
Transvestite Pact
Funeral dress: best friend keeps promise to Private Kevin Elliott
It was a promise neither man would have wanted to keep. Yesterday the funeral of a Black Watch soldier killed in Afghanistan took a bizarre turn when his best friend arrived in a bright green dress and pink leg warmers to honour a pact that the two of them had made.
Private Kevin Elliott and his friend, Barry Delaney, had agreed that whoever survived the other should wear a dress to the dead man’s funeral. Mr Delaney duly fulfilled the pledge as a tribute to Private Elliott, who was killed aged 24 while on foot patrol in the southern province of Helmand on August 31.
Mr Delaney wept on his knees at the graveside in Dundee as shots were fired during the military funeral. His dress plans are believed to have been known about in advance by other mourners

A sad ´individual´ story..
I hope the people who sent those soldiers into Afghanistan feel the guilt at least a little bit as well!!
