Thank you Lisa

I have a very sweet young friend named Lisa.  Her husband is our Worship leader at church.  When she and I got together it was like we found a part of us that was missing.  I love her so much.  I posted this on Facebook but if you don't read that there, this is what she made me for Christmas.  It says Hope, Faith and Ride on it.  I love it so much and will wear it often.  Thank you Lisa so very much.

 I had Justin today so I didn't get outside to do anything.  Watched the horses rolling in the snow.  Wished I was out there with my camera but wasn't. 

I have to write to the Mustang Club tonight with a proposition we have from the BLM office in Burns.  They want to have an adoption in Spokane on June 7 and I have been given the job of finding a facility and maybe planning some events for our club.  I will need HELP.  Ramona is going to call me later this week and we will get the details organized.

I wonder if it is ever going to get above 25 degrees.  I just am wimpy about going out and riding when it is this cold.  It seems like its been cold forever at this point.  We had some freezing rain yesterday on top of snow.  Didn't appreciate that at all.

Blessings.

My baby horse in the snow in the front yard.  He was adorned with Christmas lights and I need to go bring them in.  He looks cold.  If I had a foal blanket I would put it on him.

Over a month ago when I put Sage out in the morning I gave her a treat.  Bob usually puts her out and he got after me for it because she expected him to give her one.  And he did not want her mugging him every morning.  Well I didn't give her any more and she quit mugging him for a treat.  BUT this morning I put them out and she just about pulled my coat off me pulling on the pocket and lipping my hand.  My coat had never had treats in the pocket.  She has quite a memory to remember that it was a month ago or more and it was me.  I had to keep getting after her and I hated it when it had been so long since I had gotten to handle her at all.

I apparently have not solved all my picture loading problems because I could only get one to load.  They were scenery pictures.  One of Mt. Rainer  when I went to Ellensburg last Saturday and one of our loved winter sunsets.  Oh well, I got one to load easily.  That was better than it has been.  

I ran errands today.  I had to have the oil changed in my car.  It is so aggravating that they always want to do any number of things besides what I asked them to do.  Then I went to the quilting store for thread and needles.  I lose needles right and left.  #9 sharps must be used by a lot of quilters because I got the last 2 packages.  I have thread somewhere but no doubt Tazzy used it for a toy and it is under something. 

Thank you Lori for the recipe.  I don't have any self rising flour.  I wonder if non alcoholic beer will work because that is what I have.  I can buy some but have that.  It sounds so easy I surely want to try it.  For every one else it is a recipe for Beer Bread.

Take care .

Blessings.

Here I am

This is Tazzy and the picture on the computer is of the barn daddy Hitler sitting in the sun.  Tazzy was so fascinated she tried to get him to play and he just sat there. 

Not a horse picture I know but being sick since Christmas has not gotten me out and about.  I will though I promise.  Have some pictures of scenery in the snow on my camera and tomorrow I will get organized now that I know how to get a picture here.  Thank you Nikki for helping me, rather telling me how to do it. 

Blessings to you all, will be back tomorrow I promise.

Still can't get a picture to load.  This is making me really really REALLY mad.  I feel much much better, still not on top of all things but today have been cleaning house and we did some errands in town.  We went to lunch, came home and took naps.   Not too exciting of a day huh?

The horses went on a run about but fortunately they only got into the arena instead of clear out.  They had a grand time running around, bucking, unladylike farting and tearing around.  I think this nasty wind we are having blew the gate over, probably with a little help. 

I am basting my quilt before starting to quilt.  I wanted it done but this takes a while.  I really am getting a little excited about getting it this far. 

Blessings,

Getting Well

I can not for the life of me get a picture to upload here.  I need my computer worked on.  I don't think its must my ignorance or ineptness that is making these ugly things happen.

I am feeling some better but did not go to church this morning.  I was afraid I would start to cough and create a scene or something.  Maybe next week. 

My sleigh is down and Bob has made me a track to run in.  It is a cutter so it has narrow runners and will not go in deeper snow.  I am excited though to get to use it.  Last winter there was not enough snow that lasted long enough.  I will hope to be able to get some pictures to upload for me. 

I am putting the last row on my quilt.  When I get the front all together, I will take a picture.  In the meantime - I just keep plugging away.  I am excited to see it happening.  My first completed real quilt. 

If I can get this cough to go away I am going to work with Sage some in the round pen.  Snow or no snow.  We had a couple of really cold nights/days.  Near 0 a couple of them but it has warmed up into the 20's recently (that sounds so silly 20 being warmed up).  I want to ride. 

Take care, I just remember one more day of winter gone and one day closer to spring.

Blessings

Winter Crud

On our Christmas Eve roaming we got to see the big Whidby Island Ferry coming in.  I love riding the just anywhere but we didn't have time that afternoon.  They are so big.  I hate being the first car on though.  I always think we are to shoot right out into the water.  My favorite ferry ride is out of Anacortes to the San Juan Islands.  We have not done for a long time.

 

These boots were one of the things I got for Christmas.  Love them, just what I wanted.  They have a comfortable walking heel and you can ride in the.

We still have this crud going around.  We both seem better today.  I am glad.   I have trouble laying down because I cough worse but at least I feel like my head is remaining in place.

I have a little thing going here. My list of people who have read my post is growing.  Nearing 40,000.  Then it reaches there and the person has commented - you will get a prize.  Don't know yet but keep watching.

Blessings

Winter Blahs

Christmas Eve Chrissy and I went for a drive down along the coastline of Puget Sound.  I needed my saltwater fix.  I miss the smell.  This lighthouse is at Mukelteo. 

Bob and I both came home sick, he way worse than I.  I want it to leave.  NOW.  I am better this afternoon and he says he is but doesn't act like it so I am not believing him.

More snow falling outside and the roads are bad according to the news, glad we are staying in.  I will miss church though.

Blessings,
