I love the man and horse at the gas station.

Beautiful trail pictures as always - it's already fall here, leaves are all changing and falling.

Cool about the political rally although I'm with you, I don't do crowds well at all.

I want one of those little trailers so bad :) It would be so much fun to have to take traveling. It would be great to have as an extra guest room too.

It seems like weeks since I've been here. I've been up to my ears in tomatoes, canning and dehydrating them. We pulled all of the tomato bushes this past week and hung them in the garage to ripen since we are already having frosts.

Rocky leaves for PA on Oct 6th, he got his health certificate and Coggins last Friday and will get the brand inspection this coming week. Vet said to take him off grain and alfalfa - grass hay only, he wants him to slow down with the growing. He was out in the big ring today for awhile - he moves just like his dad, tail up and prancing. No pictures of that though, I was in the middle of canning and just had time to look out the window. This is from a couple of weeks ago. You can see he needs a diet.

CJ had her first trail ride today, fourth time under saddle. She went out with her grandda, Prez.

Janelle got a letter Thursday, Tuffy qualified for the World. Wish we had the money and time to go.

Congrats! You should go. My friend Judy, invited me to go with them to the World Show. It might be fun and I have never been to Texas. They are taking their weanling filly.

Rocky looks good. Where in PA is he going?

My tomatoes were a failure this year. Only ate a few. It just was too hot and too much rain, I guess. It would have been nice to freeze some for winter.

...it's already fall here, leaves are all changing...

What leaves? ;o)

Rocky's gorgeous as always, but he IS looking a little portly. The grass hay will do him good.

CJ's looking good too, on her stroll out with her Dad. You've got some good ones coming along there!

And Tuffy qualifying for the World is GREAT! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you'll be able to find a way to go. Seems like that would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Hello everyone. Long time no see!

Life here has been a whirlwind of busy. I honestly haven't stopped since I got back from California in August. I will get around to posting pictures when I can. I've been very busy at work. They have me doing double duty doing my (real) job as a chemist and my other job as project lead for an internal customer thing that they are trying to set up for one of their products. It's extremely high profile, and between the two I've been working six days a week since I came back. They're finally giving me the outside support that I need (after a year) and it should be done by the beginning of December. And oh yeah, I'm also taking a graduate class in Business Management. I knew it was nuts, but I needed something to boost my self esteem. We'll see if it works.

I'm heading out to Chicago to see The Fellow in about a week and a half. He's finishing his last year getting his MBA at the U of C, and that has me in limbo too, because I don't know where we're going to end up. I'll send more in a Freepmail.
