[haflingerfriends] Re: Therapy Ball

No, not like the instrument. More like Kye-o-la. Don't worry about it though... I have had it pronounced everyway under the sun now. I am surprised people even remember it, as I have a tough time remembering names. I have to pronounce and spell out my married name as well. Krienke.

I am a lucky Grammy, as my GD spends a lot of time here at Grammy's farm. Actually her favorite person is her Auntie Lauren though... and visa versa. Next grandchild comes in May. I am told it will be a boy. ;^)

Your Haffiefriend,
~Kiola~
Brier, WA

While she has her own pony, she likes our Haflinger Lucky the very best. Her Auntie Lauren (my 12 yo daughter) has given her rides on him too.
