Our very pretty daughter Nikki. She is lovely. And so sweet to take care of her auntie during our cruise. She didn't need to take care of me but she would have.
My sister and I sitting on a seat just outside of the Internet cafe' aboard the ship. We did not use it. At 75 cents a minute it would be pretty spendy. I did not see anyone use it. We had been shopping though. Stuff was more reasonable than I thought it would be - tax an duty free. I bought myself a couple sweatshirts. One heavy and one quite light weight.
I had a little go round with Sage today. The horses came up to drink, she began picking on Rusty and would not let her to the water. She was really nasty. I was watering down the pigs and I yelled at her and told her I would squirt her if she did not quit, so I did. She did not like it at all but Rusty got her drink.
My foot is still all black and blue where the naughty mule baby got me. The swelling is about gone. The little stinker.
Tomorrow is our Mustang Club meeting. I will be glad to see them all.
Blessings,
Lea

The ocean from our little balcony on the cruise ship Norwegian Jewel. It really was a jewel. I had more pictures to add this evening but they would not load. We had a wonderful time. They treat you really REALLY well. We had a nice room, small but not as small as some of the others. The food was great, I was afraid I had gained 20 pounds but it was really only 1.
I was glad to be home and to my own bed. I have not caught Sage yet. Just too hot. It was 102 when we got home Sunday, 97 yesterday and 98 today. I mostly stayed in my cool house. Only when I had to deliver eggs and then it was in my cool car.
Last night we changed the halter on Chico. He stomped on the arch of my right foot during the battle. Bob also trimmed his feet. They needed it bad. He wasn't so good then either. We got it though. I will try to get some more pictures of him soon. My cameras are full of cruise pictures.
You may get bored hearing about the cruise but it is bubbling over. We saw Orca Whales and Humpback Whales, seals, eagles and three large glaciers. I need to look up what makes up a glacier as opposed to just snow in the valleys. I will try to get pictures of Sawyer glacier which is the one the ends at the water. There were a lot of small icebergs floating. It was cold that day and the wind blew hard.
We started out from Seattle and our first stop was Ketchican. We had a good day shopping and looking around. We took an excursion and went through a rain forest trail. they said we would see bears but we only saw bear poop, bear foot prints and trails through the grass but no bears. Lots of eagles though and they are so beautiful and regal.
So anyway, I will get back to the horses soon. I am glad to be home.

Hurray, I am back
Mr. Chico was taking a nap. He had to look up see what I was doing though. We have had to let his halter out twice he is growing so fast.
Our pasture of mostly mustangs under their morning tree. If my lense was just a little stronger it would have been best. Sage is enjoying herself out there. She will be there until I get home from the cruise. Then back to work for you missy.
I finally got pictures to load but if the will print onto the blog, I will know I accomplished something.
Bob's brother is not doing so well so we will be going to see him tomorrow before he goes to surgery on Monday. he is very worried and stressed.
Blessings to you all.

I don't know what happened yesterday. I could not get the picture smaller no matter what I did. I don't know if its blogger or my computer. Anyway, it was what it was.
Just a short word - Bob had his surgery today and is doing well. Day surgery is certainly in and out. He is in some pain but nothing like he expected. Partly due to better living with pharmaceuticals. Good neighbors are helping with the chores. I can handle it all but the pigs. 5 gallon buckets of goat milk are heavy. Bless Shannan and Ron.
That was my day. Sage came up when I was feeding Ditto and Rosie and wanted some attention. I petted and loved on her and gave her a treat. That made me feel really good.
Blessings to you all.

Can not get a picture to load so a few words about where we have been and I hope at some point to be able to load the pictures.
Our oldest daughter turned 50 last Saturday and her husband and friend planned a large birthday party for her. She is so beautiful and I don't believe she thinks that. Love her so much and we went to help her celebrate. It does not seem like 50 years have gone by and they placed that precious little bundle into my arms. She was very small and utterly beautiful. After two boys she was an answer to my prayers. She was a special baby, never gave us a moment of worry. She walked early (8 months 4 days) and talked early and was totally potty trained by 20 months old. She has been the light of my life since she was born until now. She was a second mama to our two younger children. I knew she would be a good mother and have a large family and she does. 6 boys and 1 stepson, 1 daughter in law and 3 sweet grandchildren. She got her girls that way, 2 of them. Not that Nathaniel is not darling too. I wanted to tell her how special she was to me this weekend but did not have a moment alone with her. Lord bless her and keep her and speak to her in Your still small voice how beautiful and talented she is.
I am in a quandary. I need to make some decisions about Sage. I love her so much and she loves me. However, I am not as spry as I was and she may be too much for me. I am praying and wondering and crying and praying and wondering, etc.
I got my large suitcase down today to start packing. I leave home in 16 days for Nikki's, my sister comes the next Friday, and Saturday the 13th. we venture on our cruise. Honestly I am a little scared. Have never done anything like that. How do I act, how do I dress, every question anyone has asked, I am asking my self. How will I know what to do when we get to the place where the ship is, I am feeling a little nervous about it all. I am just a country girl. Lord help me.
What a goofy blog this is. Sorry.
Blessings,
Lea

For some reason this is the only picture that loaded and I am too tired to fight with a computer tonight. He is a sweet little guy. Today he and mama went to a pasture for the day. He stuck pretty close to his mother. Her last baby tore around when we let them out the first time. Not Chico. He never left Rosie's side.
We went on out ride but I did not get to ride Sage. She was being so naughty I was afraid. I rode Raven and Bob walked with Sage for a time. I have to get over this fear. Lord help me.
If the thunder and lightening would let up I could go to sleep. Bob is snoring away and here I sit cringing every time the lightening flashes. The rain will be very good for the crops though. Especially the grain farmers. They needed the water. I hope it is falling where it is needed. Our pastures will be drinking it up in big gulps.
I had a perm today but am wondering if I am happy with it or not. Maybe tomorrow I will know. LOL
Blessings and good night,
Lea
