Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas

7 Little cuddly stuffed horses.  Just 7 of many.  I have to fight Pistol for some when she figures out how to get to them.

It is bitter cold here.  At ll:00 AM it is 8 degrees and the wind is blowing.  Makes it so bitter.  Bob is over trying to get Katie's water going.  It froze in the pump house.  I think they should have left some water running but I don't know.  They are looking for a house to buy so I imagine they will be moving by spring. 

We are boing to a Christmas Party this evening over in Dalton Gardens, Idaho.  Hope the roads stay clear.

See you all tomorrow,

Blessings

Day 6 of 12 Days Of Christmas

I love candles.  It does not look like it but they were all burning. 

Our high temp today was 12.  It is 9 at the moment according to my computer.  I had to go to the Copy Shop to get our Christmas letter copied and then to Walmart to do some shopping.  By the time I came out of Wally World the wind had come up.  Man oh man was it cold. 

I am watching the NFR finals.  I really would love to go but would want to go if I could go all week.  Thank goodness for television coverage.

Stay warm,

Blessings

5th DAY OF CHRISTMAS

Five of the trophies I won when I was showing horses.  Mostly ditto I think but maybe Glory and maybe Rosie.  Or if its halter could have been Mel.    I am taking the plates off of them so I can keep them and then I will recycle them back to the North East Zone.  I loved showing but I did it and I excelled at it and now I want to trail ride.

Glory be but its cold.  I had a zone meeting this evening and the thermometer in the car which is usually pretty accurate showed 5.  We had a little snow today but not much.  The roads were clear.  I can't get my foot into either of my furry boots so my feet got really cold.

Blessings,

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

I bring you 4 pairs of reading glasses.  You  may ask why you  have four pair of reading glasses.  Sometimes I go shopping and don't have any in my purse so I buy a pair, or sometimes I lose them around the house and a lot of times i leave them places.  I actually have more than 4.  They were the first ones I got a hold of.   Silly me.  The dollar store ones are a little flimsy but otherwise they work fine and dandy.

My foot is doing better for the most part.  It is hurting and keeping me awake but it is better every.  Finding that there were no fractures was jolly good.

He also told me I could ride all I wanted to if it didn't bother me.  Well our weather is so dastardly cold 12 at the moment and is supposed to be 5 by morning.  I don't ride when it under 20.  Too cold for all of us.  So it will be a few days before the weather will cooperate.  I don't mind riding in the snow but we haven't had any to speak of yet.

See you tomorrow,

Blessings

On the THIRD DAY of CHRISTMAS 

I give you 3 turkey feathers.  I think they are so pretty.  I have a whole vase of them and some other feathers I have picked up here and there.

I went to the doctor with my foot and had an X Ray of it.  I will find out the results tomorrow.  It is still big and more purple than yesterday.  I walked pretty good on it this morning but by this evening it is a little on the painful side.

I thought the doctor might not be too happy about me riding at my age and he thought it was great and told me to continue to ride as long as I felt I could.  I wanted to hug him.  So heal up foot, Sage and I have places to ride to. 

Blessings,

On the Second Day of Christmas I give you 2 old feet.  One is kind of pathetic looking.    It still hurts.  But I can mostly walk on it without a cane today.  It is turning black and blue.  Not very pretty. 

Snow predicted.  It feels like it but don't think it has started yet.  I sure wanted to ride today but not only is it cold, My foot is not up to it.  I may have to break down and go to the doctor.

See you tomorrow.

Blessings

The 12 Days of Christmas

Every year I do this the first 12 days of December.  Not the 12 days the song sings about but my 12 days.

This is day 1.  It is 1 book, THE BOOK.  It is my well used Bible.  

A nasty rainy day.  I still am limping around but have managed to keep my foot elevated so the swelling is about the same.  Aggravating.

I missed a good picture today.  It was raining and the wind was blowing and when we got home from church Sage and Rosie were cuddled together out of the wind. 

See you all tomorrow.

Blessings
