Good morning
Becky
Good morning.... We went to bed early... Middle of the night we wake up to mayhem of Gidget barking hysterically... takes a minute to realize it's midnight and the neighbors are all shooting off fireworks! Went outside to check the horses, they were alert but quiet in the barn. The fireworks stopped by about 12:10, everyone settled down again. Stuff like that really messes with Gidget's head. FWIW, the Homer dog was calm about the fireworks, more anxious about Gidget.
I didn't make it to midnight, 9:30 was it. No fireworks here or anywhere nearby. More snow last night, another 2inches here.
We had neighbors next door with three boys who were horrid, not surprising since their parents were too. We put padlocks on the gate and the tack room. Finally, one of them stole money out of a purse in a car in our driveway. Friend was over visiting. We called the police, turned out they knew the family and the boys. The one boy was on probation and his probation ended up revoked. They finally got far enough behind in house payments that house was repossessed and they are gone. Thank goodness. Everyone on the block despised them and we were very glad to see them go. I had called the Humane Society on them three times over their care of their horses.
You all have a very good day - I think I'll be cleaning house and doing laundry. If we can get to the shed to get the boxes, the Christmas tree comes down too.
