I am getting closer. I got one of my camera cards of pictures on the computer. However, I can't get them into the correct folders or anywhere else except where they are. I am going to get a card reader tomorrow when I go into town. Sharon told me to get one and our friend Bernie did too so that is on my agenda tomorrow.
This evening we went to a potluck party to say goodby to Bernie and Sherri Lionberger. They are moving from Couer d'Alene to Helena, Montana. I absolutely hate saying goodby to friends. I know this is their dream but I wanted them to stay in the vicinity. They have been good friends and good riding partners too. They have encouraged me to go places I would not have gone and let me know they were glad I tried. It seems so many of our friends have left the country or died. I guess that happens when you hit the 70's. Can't say I like it much though. Life will continue though.
When we pulled into the driveway this evening about 9 , we got greeted by Yuma's song. It is quite funny. It like he is saying welcome home folks, I am still here.I am not sure he has forgiven me for body clipping him and taking him to a horse show. LOL. He did good tool.

Thankful Tuesday
Today I am thankful for my new computer. I can get things I have never been able to do, still with our antiquated dial up. I would certainly do something different if I could. Just can't afford it. BUT, I am thankful for my beautiful new computer with everything on it except the ability to get pictures. I had a 15" monitor, big and clumsy and this monitor is a 20" slim line. Love it. I don't have to put my nose practically on the screen to see it. So you see, I am very thankful for this lovely new computer that does things I did not think possible.
Sharon, I have a card reader on the tower. And I have the device you mentioned. Just will need to find it. I put it away carefully but where that is, I can't remember. You need to get well so you can come help me.
I saw nearly a miracle today with Rusty. Our grandson Lane is with us for a few weeks and he was standing by her fence. She came right up to him and put her nose on him hand. I thought he would come unglued because he does not seem to be a horse lover but I told him to stand still. He reached up his other hand and rubbed her forehead. I could not believe it. That is the very first time she has ever let anyone that isn't Bob touch her willingly. And without a halter or rope on her. Lane is quite proud of himself.
Remember: When friends ask, there is no tomorrow. An Old Proverb
Be a friend to someone today or any day. I could not live without them

Monday July 13th.
Still have no pictures. It is all tied up with my printer and I could not get it connected. I need a disc. Jim is going to make me one and I will go out and get it. I can look at them but can't get them to go anywhere. So for now its just words. Sorry.
We found out today that Amelia had ear mites. We treated them and she just let us. Bob also trimmed her front feet last Thursday evening. She had such long toes he could not take her clear back. When he took off the worst and rasped them they bled so he just left them the way they were for now. He will do it about 2 weeks from now again. She is so happy. Thank you Dr. Doolittle for giving her an opportunity to have a good life.
Today when it was raining so hard we looked out and the horses were all out just eating and ignoring it. All but Ditto. She was under cover. Shes no dummy. The grass would still be there when the rain quit.
Everything is off the old computer and on to this new one except the printer. Vista looks so different from XP. I am getting it though. Thats OK. I am thrilled to have a new one. I wish I was more computer literate. Oh well, I know more than alot of 71 year olds.
Remember: A friend is one who pushes you in the swing, pulls you up the ladder, pats you on the back and hugs you goodby.

Sunday
We had a great campout with kids, grandkids and great grandkids. It was really hot but not over bearing. I have a ton of pictures but can't get them here yet. Jim is coming tomorrow. I hope we can get things going here.
I did have a wonderful time with family but I really messed up. We were supposed to be in Longview this weekend to a mustang adoption. I wanted to be there so bad. I wrote the wrong weekend down on my calendar. I feel really stupid and very sad that we missed something so important to us.
Our two little great grandaughters kept us all entertained. Lilianna is 2 and Arawyn is 3. Both are really characters. Their Papa took them both fishing this morning. LOL. He was braver than me.
Remember - The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.

Have warm thoughts and have a marvelous Monday.

Wednesday
After alot of discussion...............Lane and I are going down to Banks Lake this afternoon when Bob gets home. He will drive the trailer down and set it up and then come back to work tomorrow and will come Friday AM. Lane and I are getting the trailer loaded. I am sure he and I will have a good time down there.
One of the things I put in the frig is stuff for salad. All out of our garden except the tomatoes. . In 2 more weeks I will have bunches of tomatoes. And more lettuce. I need to plant more radishes and lettuce so by the time we use whats there now, we will have more.
I put the horses off pasture late this morning. They are getting funny. I start the four wheeler and they come in. All I have to do is close the gate. If I don't take the four wheeler though, we are in for a chase. Ditto and Liberty lately have been the last ones to come. They seem to think they need one more bites.
I will be gone until Sunday evening. Remember: True friendship foresees the needs of others rather than proclaims its own. Andre' Maurois
Have a good week.

Thankful Tuesday
Again, same ole same ole -
Today I am most thankful for the love of books and reading. I think I enjoy just about any kind of book. I usually have 2 or three going at different places in the house. At the moment I have a history of the Ococho area of Oregon. It is like reading a history book but am enjoying the series. There are 4 books in the series and I am about half way through the second book. I also just finished a book by Susan Richards. Her first book was Chosen by a Horse. Her memoirs. It is kind of a tear jerker in parts but an enjoyable read. Her second book is Chosen by Life. Its about how writing the first book liberated her. I also just finished recently a book called Born to Ride. It is by a vet here in Washington. An easy read and liked it. Her name is Dr. Leslie Cunningham. Then I have snuck in a Debbie Macomber book and a Danielle Steele book. I keep a book in my purse so I have something to read if I get stuck sitting some place. I think my Aunty Lou got me started reading from the day I knew how. I can not remember not reading. Aunty Lou whose name really was Mary Louise but always Aunty Lou to me. She was severely diabetic and never married so she poured out to her 3 nieces of which I am the oldest.
I went to town today and finished Nikki's birthday present, got Isaac's, both of which are late, but they should know me by now. They always get there eventually. I also went to the used book store and got a months worth of reading. Lane was so patient and a good sport about tagging along with me.
Bonnie came to work with Cody today. We took his halter and drag rope off. We can walk up to him. Bob can and that is a miracle really. He no longer shakes when Bob reaches out to touch him. Now maybe we can start to work with him a little too although Bonnie saddles him and lunges him and long lined him today. We just have to overcome the fear that accosted him with that trainer.
