Well hey there! I’d just about given up on ever seeing anyone on this thread again, so I’m glad to see y’all back.
Hair, I’m glad to hear the snow is loosening it’s grip, at least on the trees. I’ll bet it’s been a real trial!
Becky, I’m glad you had a good Christmas with the kids. I hope Travis is ok. Chest pains in someone that young, or at any age for that matter, are really scary. I hope you didn’t get any bad weather. We’re supposed to get some really nasty storms sometime after midnight tonight, and I hate stormy weather at night. The weather’s been really crazy around here lately, with 15* temps on Monday and now 70+ yesterday and today.
Cindy, your new puppy sounds like fun! I’m looking forward to seeing the pics of him!
And Duchess, how’s things going out your way? Are Bob and all your horses ok? Are you still selling some or are you pretty much down to the ones you’re going to keep?
I actually went riding today for the first time since before Thanksgiving, in short sleeves no less! It had been raining and cloudy pretty much every other day from then until now and it was getting really old. I don’t cope very well to a lack of sunshine! :-p
HaveFaith didn’t get to go. She’s gone to S. Alabama to see her Mama but should be back tomorrow. And BladeRider has had her kids over for the holidays, then her older brother and his kids came down for a few days so she was hanging close to home too. That left me and my old riding buddy Shirley. We just took a short half day ride out of the horse camp but it was really nice. When we got there, there weren’t that many other people there, but on the way back from the break area we met more riders coming down the trail than we’d seen in a long time. I guess everybody else had cabin fever too, but just waited a little later to get out. We plan on riding again on Wednesday too since several of us are off work. I just hope the weather holds!

Glad you got to ride... we’re melting! And a mess. :~)
It’s good to hear from you. Glad you and Shirley had a good ride.
Everything here is okay, just cold and snow. And computer problems.
Still have five horses left for sale - Sonny, Friday, Slick, Lace and CJ. I’m not a good salesman, I keep warning off any beginning riders or new to horses people :)
Had a great Christmas present though, cards from the people who bought Red (he’s sixteen hands, so smart and they love him); the people who bought Sam (he loves the boys, the boys love him, he’s into everything and so smart); the girl who bought Ghost (he’s ready for 4th level dressage, she’s hoping she passes, she loves him) and the girl who bought BamBam (put shoes on her, been out on trail rides, getting along great). That was all really great to hear.
Hope to be on line more frequently here soon. Take care.
Thanks Frog:) I’ve missed reading everyone’s posts here too. LOL...it’s hard to change at our age:)
Our weather has been crazy here too. Today and tomorrow we have high 60’s then another cold front, altho not too bad. Suppose to stay above freezing anyway during the day.
I just wanted everyone who contributed to the gift you sent me when Larry passed away to know that I spent it today:)
I ordered blinds for the windows down here at the office where I plan on living. Blinds was the first thing I needed before I could move here, and I’m ready to move rather the apartment is ready for me or not. The blinds I ordered are going to be just beautiful, IMO:). I didn’t know that you could get fabric vertical blinds, but you can. They seem so much warmer and homier then the vinyl ones. It will be two weeks before they are here but as soon as they get here I will take pictures to share with you all.
Once again, the gift was very much appreciated. Larry would have been honored to know that so many thought enough of him to do that for me. Thanks again.
Becky
