My Brother & Another BreyerFest Model

Second Post of the Day

I have not yet mentioned the fires that California has been experiencing. My absolute deepest fear is fire, and I cannot imagine what the people in that area of the state are enduring. I am aware that several of you regular blog readers live in the area. My prayers for your safety have been with you. 

Remember my post about my supportive kids? Well, then there's my brother, Steve.

Yup. That's my brother! He has been teasing me about my horse collection since I first began collecting as a little girl.

Steve winning at Bank last Thanksgiving. (He's still giving me a hard time about that.)

But honestly, his offer to help was serious - he just has an irrepressible sense of humor. (I responded tongue in cheek that he could come over and pick up the doggy poo in my back yard.)

One of the best examples of his sense of humor was actually caught on film during our 2022 Dirty Santa exchange. 

It's hilarious in and of itself, but when you consider that James had died just three days before this was filmed, and Lisa is laughing that hard, well this sister's heart is grateful for her brother's quirky sense of humor.

In Breyer news, yesterday Breyer announced another Limited Edition for this year's Breyerfest.

This is Beau N' Arrow. (I love that name!) He is a portrait model and will be available to all ticket holders.

Beau N' Arrow is on Karen Gerhardt's Cleveland Bay mold. I don't collect that mold, but I do have Oliver, the 2019 BreyerFest Celebration model. There is a heftiness about this model that, for some reason, I enjoy.

A shelf-eater, I use him to model many of the XLT haversacks I make. (Including one in today's earlier post.)

Stay warm!
