They just moved into the town when they got married. :) <BR/><BR/>Did you know that the horse statue is not the only one? Well, it is the only one with a horse, but it used to be a watering area for horses and things. There are actually three, but the VERY lousy mayor only keeps up that one, and they have even talked about getting rid of it! Could you imagine? They say it is a road safety hazard. It is not the stationary horses fault that people can't drive! And if they do hit the poor horse, at least the hospital is on the same road...Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-91603908714342319842007-11-02T19:01:00.000-03:002007-11-02T19:01:00.000-03:00Jill - check the Sept. 6th blog post for the ances...Jill - check the Sept. 6th blog post for the ancestor info.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2715650832746263882.post-31524622142924527902007-11-02T18:59:00.000-03:002007-11-02T18:59:00.000-03:00Jill - no professors that I know of, but in the Ac...Jill - no professors that I know of, but in the Acadian world, you could very well know someone who is a distant cousin of mine.
