Yes, we heard that statement often. Two of our horses, Pal and Pronto, both liked watermelon. When we lamented about them jumping fences and making nuisances of themselves, Rene would say, "Well, they don't eat much." THE IVORY DISH: Another nice story I remember was about a lovely center piece she kept in the center of her dining room table. She had a visitor say, "My, I like your piece of ivory. Don't ever wash that." After that, Rene said, "I made a mental note not to wash it with the rest of the dishes . . . anymore - just in case she was right." And then she laughed her soft melodic laugh.
