Another quick post. Becky, are you working now? I’ve thought about you often and wondered how you were doing. I noticed you have a facebook page.

Duchess, I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through. Everybody seems to have been through the wringer lately. I know it’s hard to come on here and talk about horses but since we have so much catching up to do, horses may be last on the list for awhile.

Anybody know what Cindydawg is up to?

I see CindyDawg on threads here every once in awhile although it's been a long time.

I guess it's been an eventful year for us all. Did I ever tell you Hair, how proud I am of the website you started? It really is great and you have the patience of a saint.

If I can still remember how to do it - here are a couple of pictures of Tuffy at the show. Janelle isn't allowed to show non-pro since she's not sole owner so she has to show against the professionals.

Remember Ghost, Bob's endurance gelding. This is him and the lady who bought him at the show. She is working with him in dressage.

And this is the water hole (spring) I've been off roading to and hunting arrowheads. My son in the picture and the range cattle that Zuni and her momma moved out of our way.

Ran out tonight after work and picked peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, corn, and tomatoes - everything that was close to ripe. It's way to windy (40 mile per hour gusts) to try to cover the garden so I'm just crossing my fingers that the weather report is right and low will only be 38'.

Thanks for the thoughts Tuffy:). I’m doing OK. Life seems a lot busier here living in town, so that keeps me busy, altho I was telling my kids the other day, I don’t do much:) I use about 1/4 of a tank of gas a week:).

Right now I’ve just been busy hanging around here working on finishing my apartment. Seems like I’m always waiting on someone. Good help is hard to find. I also keep the books for our company, but I’ve always done that. I’m have been learning to measure/bid lots to help Charlie out. Once the apartment is done, I may go to work somewhere, or I am also thinking about buying the flower shop that is in my building. It’s a good established small business, I’ve talked to them, and they would sell it. Seems like a good business that would give me plenty to do, but still leave time for a life. But mostly right now my life still feels like it’s in a holding pattern till I get my home finished.

MT: it surprises me too that I totally lost interest in horses. You’d think that would have been something that would help fill time. But it seems to me that horses became 99% work and 1% fun. A few months ago I was questioning myself if I really wanted to get rid of them, Then I had to haul Harley to the vet for yearly stuff, and while I was hooking up the trailer I knew I wanted to be done with them.

I pretty much just have Harley to a friend of Charlies, to keep from having to winter him. I kept telling everyone to make me an offer, he finally did, his wife is going to run barrels on him, and when/if he ever sells the horse they will split it with me, rather $500 or $5 million:) He went to a good home where he’ll be used and I don’t have the expense anymore so I’m OK with that.

So that’s my life up till now. The plumbers are here now putting in my bathtub, finally. 4 months of bathing in a dish pan sucks:)

When they are done I’ll post some pictures of the place. It looks nothing like it did when you all were here. It’s come out very nice, better then I expected. I’m kind of proud of how pretty it looks now.
