Well that's the movie version. The book is soooooooo much better. It's really worth reading even for adults. The 2 dogs and cat don't get lost on a vacation. They are staying with a friend of their owners with the owners are out of the country. The animals travel across Canada during Indian summer. It is very well written.

I know, I've heard of having your system "crash", but this one really crashed.
I think that I have read The Incredible Journey. I still read good children's books. I loved The Cat Who mysteries, and still have just about every single one.
The books are always sooooo much better. Now the Green Mile was pretty close. That was a good book AND a good movie.
I don't believe it! The clouds have cleared and the sun is shining:)
Heather is suppose to come tomorrow, the temprature is suppose to reach the 50's. I'm not really looking forward to having to tell her that I'm going to have to cancel our riding, probably till spring because of my going to work. But I'm glad we are going to get this last time.
Becky
That's fantastic! Hooray for nice riding weather, and drat the fact that work gets in the way of horse time! I'm starting to wonder how long I can hold out before I have to stop riding till spring.
I have found very few movies based on books that I thought were as good as the book. Alot of the movies are good, just not as good as the book.
I didn't read the Green mile. The first time I saw the movie I didn't like it. But I didn't realize till it was over that it was a Stephan King. I watched it again later and liked it alot better, knowing what to expect.
Becky
Well in this instance, I'm really looking forward to working. I really need some diversity in my life:).Since the kids left home, it's been nothing but horses. Which is good, but I'm burning out. Altho I never thought that would happen.
Becky
Mine would stay out in the rain too if I didn't put them in.... I force them to accept the comforts of the soft life and put them in when it's nasty, whether they like it or not :~D
Good day everyone! we didn't have internet all day, cable was out. I could barely figure out what to do! Completely lost!
Glad you might get a good day for your last weekday ride for awhile! What will your riding schedule be when you are working?
Hey guys, I mainly lurk and when this site first opened I wanted to post pics but I just don't know how. I just finished my website and would appreciate it if you all would give me some hits for the search engines. I'm still tweaking but am to mentally exhausted to mess with anything for fear the dang thing will quit working!!! Thank you!!!

Gorgeous.....I checked out all of them! Thanks for sharing!
Well, for awhile not much.
I think Jenny or Mack will give me an afternoon off if I need them too. But like I said, I really think I'm close to horse burn out. I really think I'll enjoy it more, if it isn't something I feel I "have" to do. The last few years I've felt since that was all I did, I had to do it.
Does that make sense:)
Becky
I think it makes sense, yes! I hope the change does ya good.
All day with no internet:).
You didn't miss much. No one around much. Might as well have not had any service:)
I'm sure it will do me good to get out a bit. Winter time is not much fun to ride in anyway, come spring I'll be ready to get started seriously again. I think I just mostly need some sun:)
Becky
Just the idea that I had no idea if something ~was~ happening was making me nuts!
And it's not like we don't have things to do.... but we handled the crisis by stopping all productivity to check the connection every 15 minutes.
~shakes head~
Tomorrow we want to try to put up another rail between the mare's stalls, and make it a solid wall by the feeders... they really fuss at each other at dinner time. They're all bluster, but I don't like it getting any more carried away.
What gorgeous horses. They made me melt! :-)
Well work interfering in my horse time. I guess I'm just going to have to start making do on weekends. Seems like it's dark most of the time when I get off work. I can't use the internet and been working 10 hr days. Bummer. Oh well, when I get my 40 in, I have to go home so maybe I'll have some free time Friday afternoon too:')
Where in Southern Ohio are you? I have property in Amsterdam (Jefferson County)
