Commenting

Remember my Comment drawing ends in three days at 5:00 PM - Monday the 23rd.

Bob is off hauling a very sick horse to the clinic for Dr. Peters and McKinley. He is on their on call list to haul horses when needed. I hope the horse is OK. Dr. Peters has been with her most of the afternoon.

A beautiful afternoon. I helped Bob put in a gate to where Sage Ditto and Ezra are. There is a gate but its clear on the other side and this will be way more convenient. We will put up another gate tomorrow so Raspberry has a run too. She can be out when we are out but she wanders when we aren't and I know she will eat my flowers.

Yesterday my sister and I were looking up some genealogy on line. She belongs to Ancestry.com and we traced our family tree back to King Henry 11 of England in 1183. I think royalty got lost between then and now. I am looking for a birth certificate for my dad. The first thing we could find was a census in 19l0 when he was 5.

L Is For.........................

L is for Lea

Its just who I am. On the short side, a little overweight, white hair (it started when I was 19), loving my husband of almost 55 years, get my feelings hurt easily, am crazy about horses, particularly wild ones and more particularly one named Sage. I dislike cooking, I love to crotchet, I love to read. I am a Christian and I love upbeat worship music. Really can't be too loud for me. My favorite vacation ever was a week spent in Key West, Florida with my sister.

I have one sister who lives in Normandy, Tennessee that I miss so much sometimes it makes me cry. She has a daughter named Tina who has two boys, a son named Daniel who has l son and a daughter who has l daughter, my special grandniece who loves horses like I do named Caroline.

I have besides my best friend and husband Bob, A son named Steven and his wife named Debbie, a son named Scott who lived in heaven with Jesus, a daughter named Nikki and her husband named Carmen, A daughter named Coreen who lives in heaven with Scott, A daughter named Christyn and her SO Wendy, and a son named Tom and his wife Christy. They have given us l7 grandchildren and 7 greats.

So that is what L is for

Lea,

Donkey Day

Yuma getting his feet trimmed up. Chemmy did too. That is really hard on Bob's back working on the short legged guys.

Yuma was not too thrilled about it.


We are in the light pattern for Fairchild and this guy kept going over and around and over again.

Funnel clouds in the area but nothing touched down. I don't even like the sound of that.

Keep up the commenting. Love hearing from you all. To you who have asked, Sage is not going any where. She is a gift from God to me.

K is for Kind
I hope that is me. I want to be kind to everyone. I try.

Blessings

J is for.................

J is for Jealous, I hate to admit that, makes me embarrassed. I am jealous of families who seem to have it all together, their kids all get along and everything is awesome, I am jealous of people who get to travel to wonderful places that I never will get to, I am jealous of things I have no reason to be jealous of but I am. Sorry.

Last of the Weekend in Pictures

Mary on Black, her mustang mare and her SO Pat. We had a good time on Sunday with them. We are at Wall Lake.

Me unfettered, on my own riding. I must have ridden 3/4 miles alone with her. She did really well. She only gave me one start and I think something was in the grass under her feet and she jumped way up over a little hill. Jolted me but we came down together where I belonged. That was her only problem. She did not like the gates. Bob had to pony me through most of them.


Mary and Black. I love that picture. She is a good friend.

We did have a great time and I really hope we get to do it again before too long.

Thanks for the comments, keep it up. I have the surprise ready to mail when I know who its going to.

Blessings

2nd. Day of Pictures

Towle Falls on Rock Creek. It does look more like a river this time of the year.

The second place the falls come over. It is so beautiful.

Another view

A third place water spills over the rocks.

And Sage eating along side Wrangler. It was a good place to have a rest and a snack. Sage did really well and was just ponied that day. I would have had a better ride on her. Raven was a tough ride. She gave me a run for my money. Not bucking, just wanting to be first or wanting to jug along. My arms got really tired.

Sage was wonderful all but one moment. Something spooked her and I was in front of her. She tried to miss me, but didn't and knocked me head over tea kettle into a dry ditch. Hit my head pretty hard but it was soft dirt. Knocked me a little coocoo for a moment but got back up and rode Raven back. My head ached for about half an hour and that was all. She felt bad and came back to me. She would never delibertly hurt me. There were some hikers that I think scared her. I am fine, no one worry.

We had a really good turn out for the ride. I was so sorry Marilyn and Dave could not make it but there was Laura, Alexa and Taylor, Andrea and her sister Amy and their kids, Mary and her SO Pat, Bea came down and hiked and camped with us. She can't ride yet since her hip replacement. Then of course Bob and I. John, Andrea's husband came down on Saturday to spend the day, and Andrea and Amy's step dad came down to hike. He is preparing to hike Mt. Rainer. We had a good potluck and everyone ate until we were stuffed. How fun? It was great.

One week from today you will know who wins my surprise. Keep up the commenting. Thank you so much.

Blessings,

Home and First of Pictures

Sage ready to go. We had quite a time getting there. Driving down the freeway just before Sprague which was out turn off the transmission went out in the truck. Just like that, gone. We thank God for good neighbors. Wonderful neighbors. Bob called Shannon and she came after the trailer full of horses and all our stuff for the weekend. Then he called John who came after the truck with his car hauler trailer and brought our truck home. I thought our weekend was lost but Shannon loaded us her truck, so horses back in and we were off.
Riding down the trail towards Towle Falls. It was a 3.8 mile ride to the falls.

Taking a break.

Still on the break

I walked up a little hill and took this picture. It is such beautiful country.

Tomorrow I will post more of the pictures.

To say I am tired is too mild of a word.
