Iron horses
Posted by: Fats in: Fats, Vitamins & Minerals > Wala lang
These are some 11 cast iron horses that my mom just brought out from the junk at the back of the house. She cleaned them and put them here to dry. My sister will be putting some of them in her family’s new house in Laguna.
These are all my father’s horses, decorative cast iron horses that go on the hood of passenger jeepneys. These horses have been a symbol of the Manila jeepney for many many years until an ordinance required drivers and jeepney operators to stop using the horses as part of the law to minimize the decorations being used on jeepneys - for safety reasons. Quite unfortunate really, because the color and decorations that have marked the identities of jeepneys were really very beautiful.
Alwin saw some small white eggs in the laundry area where my mom cleaned these horses. I told Alwin that those were lizard eggs. Unfortunately, many (except one) of the eggs were all broken. So I took the one left and put it in a plastic container. I told Alwin that we should wait for the lizard egg to hatch. He was excited of course, and said that a dinosaur was going to come out of the egg. 
This will probably be the third time that I’ve kept a lizard egg until it hatches. It has always been a nice exciting feeling. 
Alwin loved the spaghetti!
