Let us know how that bourbon chicken recipe works out. Nothing new here, except we’re getting ramped up for spring. Put a new fire pit on the patio. Ordered new pool storage sheds for all the accessories and equipment. She’ll get a crew out in a couple weeks to deep clean and overhaul everything. Bought some more blueberry bushes. My sister’s the one having a bad week. First, she got laid off from her job, then she had to put her horse down. Intestinal papilloma twisted her plumbing and caused a major blockage. My sister said she was fine Monday or Tuesday, trotting along full of energy, mooching her treats out of my sister’s pocket. The next day, a staffer at the equestrian center was walking her back to her stall after a run, and she just keeled over on the ground. The vet came and diagnosed her (horses that age don’t go through that thorough of an annual exam), but she was 23 and not a candidate for major surgery. In fact, he couldn’t guarantee that she’d survive the surgery if he did operate (not to mention it would cost $20k), so she had to make a hard choice. A shame. She was a sweet Arabian, gentle dispossition around kids, loved attention.

Oh, Viking, I’m so sorry to hear about the horsie. How hard for your sister, a heartbreaker!

Yes, Vision, let us know your bourbon chicken recipe.
