A Busy News Day

Hi, Fans,
The weather in eastern Pennsylvania was beautiful today. Not too hot, Not too cool. A nice breeze. And it didn't rain.

I spent last night at Wendy Cronshey's beautiful farm in Kresgeville. I had a beautiful, roomy stall with a window where I could stick my head out and see the fields and paddocks. A room with a view, if you will. Our friend Kathy Romano came over this morning to visit with Wendy and see me off. Before leaving, we took some pictures of Wendy and her family and thanked them for their kind and generous hospitality.

As soon as Mom arrived she started grooming me because I was going to be interviewed on the TV news. Ethan from Channel 69 taped me being groomed, eating grass and walking. He also seemed interested in what Mom had to say.

Mom and I headed north on Rte. 209 for a very short distance and then merged into traffic and waited in line to turn onto Rte. 534. As soon as we turned around the corner Mom led me into the parking lot of Jeker's General Store. Mom had seen a sign that said Books Around the Corner and wanted to investigate. Mom and I like to read. Sometimes I have to help her with the hard words.

While Mr. Albino was taking our picture in front of the sign we met Steve and the owner of Jeker's. They wanted to meet me and were interested in hearing about my trip. Then we met Eva Martin. Eva is the owner of Books Around the Corner. Eva gave us a wonderful present, a copy of "The Walk West." It's the story of two people who walked across America. They didn't walk with a horse though. I wonder what they did for excitement. Books Around the Corner in Jeker's General Store is having their grand opening on Saturday, July 11.

Then we headed toward our hosts for tonight, Lynn and Dennis Harleman in Kunkletown. Along the route a newspaper reporter stopped to take my picture and find out about our trip. She's going to write a story for the local paper. As we were approaching our destination, Lynn saw us on the road and told us we were almost at her house. When we walked up driveway her horses ran to the fence to see me. One of them looks very much like me.

Shortly after we arrived Channel 13 came to do an interview with Mom and Me.I think Mom did a pretty good job of answering the reporter's questions. After the interview I enjoyed some hay and Lynn and Dennis prepared a nice dinner for Mom and Mister Albino. Now I'm going to tun in and get some sleep.
Love,
Winnie
