My Brain Is On Leave of Absencde

Either that or my computer is having fits. I can not get a picture to load on to my blog tonight and I am too tired to try any more. I wonder if I could really drop kick it out the window. Tomorrow I will try my laptop.

Now its later and not only are we in the midst of an estate sale for the man next door but he is failing and his brother could not deal with it and overdosed with something and they both were transported to a hospital. I guess we will go on with the sale and who knows??? Your prayers are appreciated.

54 Years - Remember When

Did we not look like children playing dress up. Wow, I guess we were young. That was 54 years ago today. This evening we went to the Olive Garden and had a yummy dinner. I had Apricot Chicken and it had broccoli and asparagus and grilled tomatoes with I. I ate it all too. I will be stuffed until tomorrow sometime.
Bob was in the Navy and left six weeks later for the Antarctic. He got home in May.

I had a terrible time getting my pictures to load to Blogger. I don't know what was wrong. My computer or Blogger? I don't know. It took me 2 days of messing to get Nikki's picture to load off her thumb drive on to my computer. I get so tired of it not working right.

This little guy was 3 weeks old and a real pistol.

Kitty Lauman,s dog Daisy May

One of the orphans that Andi fostered. Isn't that a sweet face.

Loved her look.

A very Kigerish mare.

Tomorrow through Saturday we are having a Living Estate Sale for our next door neighbor. It has taken Bob a month to get all the stuff organized. We will have the gate locked and will not open it until 8. Our neighbor is failing quickly.

54 years -

Kiger Mustangs

These are all Kiger Mustangs. I love the silver grullas.
Young boys tired of being nice to each other.

She was my first choice. More than likely 2 for 1 price but aside from than other than being thin I thought she was exquisite. Very regal. She was adopted for $700.00. She was 7 but she would have done fine.

I loved that face.

A weanling boy

They feed them well and have hay in front of them all the time.

A group of two year old boys looking at us looking at them.

My favorite again

Nikki's favorite.

She wondered what we were doing.

It was the best looking group of horses up for adoption that I have ever seen all in one place for one adoption. Am so glad to be a volunteer for the BLM.

Home

Yes, I am home and had a wonderful, fun weekend. The WiFi in the motel was not really good with my laptop so just gave up. I have tons of horse pictures to sort through. I am going to divide up the pictures though. I have so many to share, sharing them all at once would be difficult besides being boring after a while.

So, tonight is just on our trip down to Burns and the first picture of horses.

Let me tell you it was a successful adoption. The high selling horse went for $8,750.00. A 2 year old dark dun stud colt. Many sold for 2,3,4000. I about swallowed my teeth. I will go into that another day but 89 horses sold and about 20 did not all but 3 I believe were stallions at varying ages, mostly older.

The pictures below are on our way down.

This was taken in the rain on a potty stop at Government Camp up on Mt. Hood. We did not see the mountain though. Clouds clouds and more clouds. You would never have known it.


The colors are so vivid this time of the year.

We had lunch at the Black Bear Diner in Madras. Good food.

Could someone tell me what this weird plant is.

Oregon

The first picture of a horse at the corrals in Burns. This old guy was not adopted, I believe he was 12. He will be on the internet later. I thought he was beautiful. Not what people think a Kiger should look like but he is.

Have stories to tell and pictures to share. Tonight though I am off to bed in my own bed. On top of traveling, I have been fighting a sinus infection. Much better today but it helps zap my energy.

Whew

Three days of working Sage hard for at least an hour. She backs at the wagging of my finger, lowers her head on command, I can get two crossover steps on her hind quarters and the plastic bag while not yet her friend, at least is some what tolerated. I could run it down her legs today with out a freaking out incident. Now she gets the next five days off. I don't like that But.......

That is how long I will be gone to Burns, Oregon to the big horse event they have every year at the wild horse corrals. Poor Bob gets to stay home. Well, he could have gone but he had a commitment on Saturday and so home he will stay. Nikki and I will have fun.

We have been working hard on the estate sale for next door. I will be surprised if he is still here. He is failing very fast. I am surprised Hospice is not there 24/7. He is that close. His brother found him on the floor during the night, he tried to get up and could not support himself. It is so sad. We are trying to purchase the place. I wish the bank would get back to us. It would be easier if it were completed while he was living. I so wish he would have come home and recovered, even slowly.

I will keep up with blogging with my laptop. I don't know how to add pictures on it, maybe Nikki can help me.

Yesterday

These are all pictures of Marilyn working with Sage. I tried today to reinforce the things she did today. I felt so crummy with these dang allergies I only could work about an hour. She will lower her head for me and back with me wagging my finger at her. I got the plastic bag all over her back but don't touch my head is what she told me. We will work on that again tomorrow. I am having a time getting her to move her haunches and step over. We mostly just got one step both her haunches and front end. We did each thing over and over. I tried getting her to change directions on the lounge line with her rear end. I was not successful with that move. Maybe tomorrow.

I have felt icky all day. My head is so stopped up. Just my yearly struggle this time of the year. I am about packed to leave Wednesday. One thing today the water pump was about to go out on my car. Bob and Tom replaced it today. I am so glad it did it at home rather than out in the middle of the desert in Oregon.

Some good news for our church family. At least for us because we love them so much. Our worship pastor Jason is leaving to get his masters degree in theology. That is not the good news, we love Jason but not like we love Greg and Lisa. Greg will be added to the staff. I am excited about that. I love how they lead worship besides how we love them as people. We just had a connection the first time we met them.
