thank you so much......that even hurt my eyes
I love your house and barn. The house is beautiful. Both the horses look right at home there - I’m so glad you’ve found the right place.
What kind of mix is the dog do you think? And did you keep the kitten?
First hard freeze here was Oct. 1 and we’ve got rain this am, with snow coming to the mountains. Sometimes I miss the south :)
I think the dog is a hound mix.....I did keep the kitten, she will become a barn cat if the dog doesn’t kill her first. She’s real cute,a calico.....
I spoke with my daughter (in Ohio) and she said they might get snow this weekend...it was 80 today but rain coming and colder temps this weekend.
I love the south.
Duchess, where are you located?
I’m in Stagecoach, NV, about 25 miles east of Carson City, NV. It’s pouring rain here at the moment, has been all day. We’re getting the leading edge of the storms in CA.
I love the desert but every once in awhile, I miss the warm weather and the green. (and the growing season) I lived in Alabama for four years and eleven years in North Carolina.
All in all though, I wouldn’t trade in my heat and dust and wind and snow - I just like to whine every once in awhile :)
Anyways, your house and barn are beautiful! I am so glad you are happy and content in the South. Did you come to your cabin for the summer? We didn't have much of one did we?
The pup is cute and nice pool!
The whole family is sick and I sure hope it doesn't get to me. Might wreck my social life lol
I go line dancing a few days a week. The local Senior center has classes that I attend, plus we go to a couple of places that have dancing in the evenings. I started going last January and have lost almost 30 lbs! I can even get on my horse now without a step. Good exercise. About 15 years ago when Country dancing was so popular, we used to go all the time. It took me awhile to get back into the groove again. It's sure is fun!
I've got a bug here. Not the flu or anything related. The Urgent Care doctor called it “our local bug” and gave me a prescription for anti-nausea pills and antibiotics in case there's a low grade infection.
We (hubby, son and I) have been going out every other weekend or so and hunting arrowheads. We've had a couple of rains here and it's always easier to find them after a rain.
Take some elderberry extract and I'll keep my fingers crossed you don't get sick too.
OMG! Y’all came back!! I’ve missed talking to y’all so much! I used to check the thread some, but nobody was ever here, so I quit. I don’t know what possessed me to check tonight, but I’m glad I did.
As you can see, I’m way behind in what’s been going on. I do know about Hair’s Pony, but that was just by accident when I checked in on her blog one day. I’m dying to find out about everybody else, but it’s too late and I’ve got to get to bed. I’m leaving on a weekend horse camping trip tomorrow, but I’ll be back Saturday night so I’ll try to catch up then.
We’ve had a great summer of riding and have lots of good pictures and videos. Kari(HaveFaith) has become quite the videographer, editing all the pictures and video clips together with great songs, so we’ve enjoyed it.
Talk to y’all soon!

I was thinking about our visit too and remembering how fun it was, and YES the house is finally started, just this week. So far it's just a hole in the ground, but it's a start.
{I know I said I was going to bed, but I just COULDN'T!}
Have fun on the trip, I’ll be looking for you Saturday night. Hope you’re taking pictures as the house progresses.
You’ve got the apartment looking great Becky!! I love it!
Hi frog! Kari was posting updates for you and the videos for a while, but she’s disappeared! Good to hear from you!
Hey, Frog:) Great to hear from you.
I’m excited for you getting your house started. Construction is stressful, but in a fun sort of way:) I’ve enjoyed watching the process. Keep us posted with lots of pictures.
I usually check over here every few days, to read the news.
Well hey, stranger! Good to hear from you. Can you post some pics of your Poland trip? I would love to see them, what an exciting trip! I actually have family living in Japan, a nephew that works for Konami and a brother in law that was in the service and ended up staying there. He wants to move back here but my nephew loves it there! He’s living his dream working at Konami. He just got married to a gorgeous Korean woman.
It seems that most of us in the Saddle Club has had curve balls thrown at us lately. I got another one recently, my mother in law was just diagnosed with breast cancer and is having a mastectomy tomorrow. She’ll be fine, it was caught early enough, but still scary stuff.
You have a great Christmas, too! And all the Saddle Club. I sure miss you guys!
Can’t wait to see the pics! I’ll watch for them.
Yes, my nephew is American (no offense taken! at all!) He did have a very, very difficult time getting a full time job in Japan but it did help that he’s fluent in Japanese and Korean, he’s also a college graduate in Japanese (University of Texas). It still took years for him to get that job. He’s been in Japan quite awhile. My brother in law lives in the Tokyo area, I think. He teaches english, so funny that you mention that. My nephew at Konami started out teaching english and doing translation when he first moved there. It’s funny that you knew all that information about Japan. I had no idea until I had family move there that it’s so difficult for Americans to get a job there, other than teaching english.
