Freedom of Speech

Without freedom of thought,

there can be no such thing as wisdom;

and no such thing as public liberty,

without freedom of speech.

Merry Christmas

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder; 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, 

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm

Three of us had a great trip this afternoon to Old Friends near Georgetown, KY USA.

Old Friends cares for 150 retired thoroughbred horses with the help of donations and tour fees. 

The weather was a little hot and very sunny,
but thankfully there were a number of shade trees along the route.

The hour long tour is $10 for anyone 12 years and older and well worth the price.

Check us out at our Facebook page for a few photos from our trip.
