December 21, 2007: Max went to school today. The Manhattan school district had a book sale to benefit the library. They had to sell more books than last year for the principal to kiss a Donkey. He lost the bet.

340 students K-8 plus probably at least 20 more people including the Belgrade and Bozeman newspapers attended.

When the librarian made an announcement they were still short 50 books of the 450 they had to sell, the last two hours there was a big rush and sold over 500. The librarian was sure it was being able to see Scott Schumacher kiss "an ass".

As you can see by the schedule below he wasn't allowing much time but was a great sport and even brought flowers, I guess he thought he was going to kiss a girl donkey!

We let the students vote which end he had to kiss and you can imagine which one they voted for. ;)

"Getting Ready...
Schedule: 11:30 All students and staff who wish to attend need to be in the MPR bleachers and seated. Students will need to be wearing their coats, hats, etc. dependent upon the weather conditions. Mrs. Mead will announce the number of books purchased, etc. at this time. 11:35 Everyone will proceed to the playground. Students should have coats, hats, etc. dependent upon the weather conditions. We will not be dismissing from this area so backpacks, Christmas gifts, etc, should remain in the classrooms. 11:40 The kissing of the donkey. No I don't know which end. 11:40 & 2 seconds. Students back to homerooms

Well spring has sprung, I have been gone alot helping my boyfriend out who died of cancer on February 17. I am home now and have 9 mares home bred April and May half to the Brazilian Jack General so anxiously awaiting my foal crop this year. I then have a bunch more bred in June/July while my interns from the Scotland Vet School were here. There are just 4 yearlings left and they are all looking very nice.

Rafael from Brazil will be back going to horseshoeing school.
