OH YEAH!  Ok, here's the story on the hose reel.....

The hose reel has made it big time now! 

We all may remember it's début a few years ago at Double J Ranch in Mammoth Cave, KY.  But since then she's been on tour! 

A long time ago Rod brought her home.  We were all so proud of her.  She made her first trip to JJ's in Mammoth Cave.  She helped us water the horses with ease.  She was the hit of the party!  Everyone love her!  Then she started leaving.  She just packed up her hose, and left.  She sends us pictures once in awhile of her grand adventures.  I think she even met the Roaming Gnome once in Italy.  Occasionally you can find her here at the farm where she will help water the animals.  But her favorite thing is to travel.  Every now and again she sends a Post Card, "Wish You Were Here".  We are so proud of her!  Watering flowerbeds in South Carolina.  Filling troughs in Montana. Washing cars in California.  Watering Spring Training Baseball fields in Florida.  But don't worry!   And you can see her here, that means you too Dan!  If we knew then what we know now, we would have let her ride in Show's passenger seat in the truck to Mammoth Cave instead of in the trailer.  Enjoy her pictures!  Where will she be next week????  Stay tuned.....

It's been a long time since she sent a picture.  Now she's helping the Cincinnati Red's out, she's the new Left Fielder!

We think she's working in Santa's Workshop making toys for little girls and boys!  Maybe she'll get to meet the reindeer and ride in the sleigh! 

Well, it seems a lot has gone on since we last heard from the hose reel.  While on a Safari in Africa, she meet someone.  His name is Brinkman, sounds corny.  She says he's a real hot guy.  Seems to make her happy.  I just don't know what to tell the Kelly's hose reel.  He'll be heart broken.  Here's her last post card:

Hi everyone!  Miss you, wish you were here in Venice with me and Brinky.  Be home for the fall ride, hope I can ride in the wagon with Don Robert.  Can't wait for you guys to met Brinky!  Love - The Hose Reel

We just got this picture from the Hose Reel.  She's been in Athens for the Olympic's.  She didn't win a metal but said she's had a great time!  I didn't even know she could swim.  Great form and in total sync with her partner!

Well, just got another letter from the hose reel.  She's been in Australia!  She's been to the Great Barrier Reef, The Olgas, the Opera House in Sydney.  She's even seen some koalas and kangaroos.  At first she thought they were really big rats, but we told her they were kangaroos!

Where is she now?

The great and wonderful hose reel hopped on a plane and headed for Egypt.  That's right!  She's at the Giza Plateau exploring the pyramids.  Been in the Pyramid of Khufu, Menkaure, Khafre and the Sphinx too.  I tried to tell her they were camels, but she still calls them funny looking horses.  Last we heard, she was heading to Ireland to visit some castles.  Who knows where she'll go next!  That silly hose reel.......

The Hose Reel went to Disney World!

Proud to announce this year's 2004 Pace Reel at Bristol!

Pamplona, Spain for the Running of the Bulls!
