News from Linda and Maude

I guess we now have positive proof that the mules of Rancho Santiago are afraid of nothing.  Nicole said she had the trailer door open, went to get Maude who came right along with her and the next thing she knew she had three other mules in the trailer ahead of Maude.  She said it was hard to get them out, between them stealing hay and her laughing it took a minute or two.  The really bad news is, she got so caught up in the mule wrangling that she drove off without the papers (you know the ones that you drove 80 miles plus one way to deliver).  She did not realize this until 50 miles down the road.  When you get a chance would you mail them to me along with my bill of sale and anything else I need for Maude.  I am so sorry that you apparently went to all of that trouble for nothing and Nicole is just about as embarrased as can be.  I will need that health certificate and coggins for Maude's trip May 31.  Until then I don't need it for anything.  After listening to the tale of the hitch hiking mules, I sure wish there was a video.  Talk to you soon.  Oh by the way, Nicole said I got a great deal, she said Maude just seems to take everything in stride and she's a looker.  She said she really liked Maude.  I told her to make sure Maude made it all of the way here and didn't "get lost" on the way.  Bye

Phone call after arrival:  “Dr. Jim this Maude mule is not quite what you represented her as ... Maude is 100% better than you said she is!”
