While I was gone JP managed the home/barn/horse/dog/cat-front (with his usual aplomb), while Remy got daily "personal time" with his Aunt Jude. Judy kept me updated on Remy's work, and I was thrilled when I received a text "Remy found his big boy pants!", which means he really is working like a grown up. Yay! Hope he'll keep his pants on for me, too! We''ll be starting the season with Waterloo (good thing I'm not Napoleon!) at the end of this month.
During the week JP had finalized our farm sign, and it greeted me yesterday: Saumur, Chambord, Remy and Teddy are all proudly featured.
The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires [le tʁwa muskətɛʁ]) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, first serialized in March–July 1844. Set in the 17th century, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard. D'Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos and Aramis, inseparable friends who live by the motto "all for one, one for all" ("tous pour un, un pour tous"), a motto which is first put forth by d'Artagnan.
The boys always stick together, (i.e. when we try to get one of them out of the pasture alone the others try to block access), so the motto "all for one, one for all" fits 100% - hence the farm name was a no-brainer! As for the spelling - we had to get creative for our truck's licence plate (Michigan limits the number of letters).
