Hay, flowers and me

I was on my way to a Memorial Service this afternoon. Bob wanted to take my picture. It was a lovely day. A nice service for my friend Julie. Can't remember what these are but their color is so beautiful. Love that intense yellow.

Bob backed in almost 5 tons of hay. He had taken off the top layer. He won't ask for help because we can't afford to pay them.

So that was about our day. Bob went and mowed more hay. I spent the afternoon dressed up. Sage had the day off.

Do I Need A Babysitter?

My pretty Mama. I don't know where or when this was taken but I imagine she was having fun at the water.
Mama with my two babies. It was when Tom was born in Phoenix. Chrissy was 9 months old. They were both adopted, its a long somewhat funny story how we got them both in 6 weeks time. This picture was taken about 40 years ago. They still are my babies though.

I am disgusted. I didn't get to ride today because there was so one around to baby sit me. Bob nor Marilyn want me to ride when I am here alone. I don't mind except days like this. Grrrr. I wanted to ride so bad. Bob is helping Bob Gish hay and Katie and Cameron went camping. So I just had a long conversation with Sage and worked her briefly in the round pen. Dang it all anyway.

My sister in law Jackie is very ill. When it rains it pours I guess. Have not heard how Brownie is today. I am glad I believe in the power of prayer or I might go batty.

Great Day

This morning we worked Sage from the ground. Tarp, pool noodles ect. The end of the ground stuff, tomorrow I will ride her. The tarp was a non problem, she did not mind that in the least. The noodles were something else but we worked through them. She certainly is a great horse.
Our Mustang Club had our annual potluck/BBQ. A couple of people were not there but we still had fun.

Its late and I am tired. It was good to see the guys though and Marilyn did a demo with Sage and that was good.

See you all tomorrow.

Blessings

A nice visit

No pictures. I didn't pick up my camera, darn. Emily Graham was home this week from El Paso where she works as a Border Patrol agent. Her dad and mom were with her. So good to see Dick. He retired from the Border Patrol up on the Canadian border last weekend. Becki has been a good friend for a long time. It was so good to see them all. Emily is one of my favorite. Dick and I got a discussion about mustangs. The ones hes ridden belong to the government so he didn't get to bring any with him. I am so glad they have moved down here on the West Plains.

Bad news about my brother in law today. Nothing more can be done. Its up to Hospice now to keep him comfortable. I feel bereft because I can't be there for my sister..

Bob is home. He had fun with the Kalispel kids. One little girl had had a very bad experience on a horse and by the time she was done, she and Rosie had a wonderful relationship.

I wonder why no one is commenting on my posts? Missing you all.

No one here to watch me ride

The only picture I could not load yesterday. Lane, our grandson fishing at the end of the pond. It is full of catfish.

I was so disappointed today. I wanted to ride and I promised Bob I would not ride unless someone was here and no one was here. Katie had a job interview and Bob is still gone. So...who knows when and I am getting ready for the Mustang Club meeting here on Thursday. I went and got burgers to BBQ and buns today. They had jeans in my size half off today and I snagged a pair. Riders jeans are all that fit me well. Anyway, that was besides the groceries.

Maybe tomorrow I can snag someone to be here and get on my princess. Marilyn is going to give a demo on Thursday on the things she has used to help me get her going good.

Other than that I have done house stuff. I watered plants outside and got some of the yard organized for Thursday evening. Just normal stuff. I watched a couple of things on the news this evening that was of particular interest. I thought of my grandsons that are skate boarders and Ethan Hawke was in town at the skate park in Harmon Park. They would have loved to have watched him in person. And there was a piece about Dennis Weitman on channel 4 at 6:30. He drives a horse in shows and is paralyzed from his waist down. He fell through a roof 5 years ago. His wife designed a cart for him and he runs his wheel chair up a ramp in the back and they strap down the chair and away he goes. He helps harness his horse. He wins a lot. He also announces horse shows. Dennis is really an inspiration to lots of us. And I am blessed to know him and his wife Michelle.

Summer is Returning

This last weekend we took out grandsons home and attended pig roast at Bob's cousin Tim and Theresa's place in Arlington. There were about 200 people there. The pig was roasted over an open pit and was it yummy. I ate too much of everything and I know most people did too. Tim is the one whose back is to the picture. He is a big fellow.
Our Nikki and Theresa, Tim's wife. We had such a good time.

Our nephew of sorts (his mother is really our niece)Donovan and his partner Cindy. A sweet couple with sweet kiddo's.

Sister in law Jackie. She had a stroke a few years ago. She gets around pretty good in her wheel chair.

Donovan and Cindy's baby Landon. He is such a doll baby. He just turned 2.

We had a good trip over except we went through the heart of an awful storm. The hail was bad and we thought we might have a cracked windshield but we got through it. Scared all of us though. The lightening was flashing all around us. The boys and I especially did not like that part of it at all.

I had more pictures - maybe they will get posted tomorrow.

Lots of kids

My cowgirl granddaughter Sheya. She had watched me work her and was petting Sage and loving on her when I was finished. Sage just loved it.

My BF Ditto

Sheya loving on Ditto in the lane.

And she rode Pepper. We need to let her stirrups down. She had not ridden since last winter and she grew. It was too hot for her to ride too much though for both of them and me watching. But she got about 20 minutes and the sweat was running down her face so we called it a day. If it had not been so hot I would have ridden Raven and we would have gone across the road but just too hot,

Sage did well today. I was again very proud of her.

Have an extra two grandsons and a granddaughter here today. Plus the two that have been here. Tomorrow we go to Marysville and return them to their parents. How quiet the house will be. We will be back Sunday.
