I received it from my friend Mel, who lives in Indiana. I bought it from her with some money I received from selling some of my other Julips (just a few that weren't my favorites.)
I figured that I needed something positive to write about, and Julips are pretty pleasant things for me to talk about.
I was happy that I could add to my collection while helping fellow collectors add to theirs. Voila! We are all happy!
(With the Julip trade I arranged I was also able to work out a deal where another Julip and two Magpies will be joining my little stable.)
Mel sent me this photo of the palomino Arab so that I could post it, she knows my digital camera is kaput. Thanks, Mel!
In other news, Derek needed a new bike. He had outgrown his tricycle, his knees were banging on the handlebars. So the search was on! We checked in stores, but the little toddler-sized bikes were very costly (around $100), so we gave that idea up very quickly. I then advertised on my Yahoo Garage Sale Group for my area that I wanted a toddler boy's bike with training wheels. A woman was very kind and said she had one in her garage sale and would hold it for me. The best part was that it cost only $3! It was in almost brand-new condition. It needed a small tire repair, which Brian was happy to do. That cost about $5. So Derek got an almost brand-new bike for only $7! It is bright yellow with black accents and has flame decals all over it as if it would like to blast off into outer space! Derek is very proud of it and loves to ride it. I wish I had a photo to share with everybody!
