Finally Some Answers

Bob was slicing some turkey for sandwiches and he had an adoring audience. They wanted a piece.
Mt. Spokane through the windshield on our way to the doctor. It was so pretty sitting up there.

Bob had a good doctor appointment and we finally got some answers from the doctor. He had gone to the chiropractor that did help his back but not his leg. He went to the ER and they took an ultrasound of his leg checking for blood clots, no blood clot. The Xrayed to check for a broken bone, no broken bone and still pain that leveled him. Have never seen him in pain like this. It took our family doctor not long at all to find a tear in the muscle of his calf and when he stood up it would irritate the nerve and then it would feel like a white hot knife in his calf. It will take time, but he gave him some really powerful pain killers so maybe he can get some sleep. The he is to wrap it snugly whenever he is going to be on it. So we will try this.

Katie did chores for us this evening because we were not home yet. She was a little leery of Sage because she had never handled her. I got a text a while ago saying she was awesome. I knew it of course.

A long day, Blessings.

A Sunny Sunday

I am still going through pictures and I came across a stack of my Sierra Nevada. She was my yearling Mustang Makeover that I did a few years ago. It brought back some really wonderful memories

She was a silly girl. I went up to the porch to talk to Bob through the screen door and instead of standing on the ground to wait for me, up she came right up on to the porch. She would follow me just about anywhere.

She was a pretty little thing wasn't she. I don't have a recent picture of her. The lady that adopted sends me some periodically. She grew into a pretty big girl. I loved her a lot and it was hard to let her go. She went to a good home though.

Got the stalls all cleaned out today. Played with Sage a bit and took a good nap. I have been really hungry for a turkey sandwich so I fixed a breast of turkey for dinner today. Now I can have a few sandwiches. It was a good dinner if I do say so.

The sun shone and it was a beautiful day however, it was cold and is getting colder. I don't care as long as the sun is shining. Hope your weekend was good. Blessings

Oh Happy Day

Yesterday Bob and I put up a new pen for Sage. She seems to like it OK. Today I tied white plastic bags around (thank you Walmart, usually I recycle them) the pen. They did not seem to bother her too much. Although she had her ears perked up most of the day. She came right to me this evening. Bob was tarping some hay when I was putting her in and she stopped in her tracks and was watching. She thought that big blue thing was coming after her I guess although she did not try to run.

My tummy is OK. Unless I eat too much and then it hurts. It certainly is helping my portion control. Bob's calf is still almost unbearable pain most of the time. Sometimes he just forces himself like building the pen yesterday. But he has suffered for it today. Back to the doctor on Monday if it isn't much much better.

We moved Sage and Amelia into different stalls yesterday. Bob finished the 4th. one so Sage has a new room. I cleaned them both today. The other two got ahead of me so am glad there was a place to move them.

I will be sending an e mail to the Mustang Club this evening. We had a very good meeting yesterday evening. It was so good to see every one.

Take care my friends, I think winter is returning full blast. Oh well. Blessings.

Fog and Sun

If you want to know how I feel about our weather, go read my friend Linda's blog - Beautiful Mustang. She doesn't live far from me and I don't want to whine any more here about the weather so go read hers. We both have the same opinion of this mud. Almost sucks your boots right off of your feet.

Despite the mud, I played with Sage for a bit with the plastic bag on the stick. She smelled it right off the bat and let me rub her face with it. Then I could rub it all over her back and side. The legs cause her to jump so we will work more with that. She loves apples. She even took a piece of apple from Katie. Then licked her hand to get all the juice.

I keep worrying about getting on for her first ride . She is so big and my legs are so short. It scares me to think about it and yet I want to be riding her. I may have to send her out for that. I don't know, I am several months behind my schedule (in my head) of where I wanted to be.

Some of you wonder how I read so many books in spurts. I have a book by my bed, by my chair, in my purse ect. Sometimes I finish one or two within a day or so but have been reading for a while. And when I have a night that I can't sleep which happens more often than I would want, I have been known to read a whole book.

Blessings

Weather Forecast: Grey and Foggy

My oldest little boys in 1964, Easter. You can tell who had been eating chocolate. That would be Scott.
They had been fishing for the first time and caught those fish. I think they are 3 and 4 at that time.

October 12, 1957. A couple of kids who had no clue what was ahead.

Myers, Kentucky founded by my relatives. My maiden name is Myers. There is an old abandoned cemetery full of Myers headstones. I wanted to take one but it was too heavy for Sharon and I to get.

My Grandma, Myrtle Foreman, My mother Elsa Gjerness (she may have still been Myers then), Me and our firstborn Steven.

Bob and his Grandma Hannah Lea Williams. As some of you know, my dad and Bob's dad were long time friends. So, they knew Hannah. I am named after her.

One of my favorite pictures of Bob. It was taken on a camp out with the Back Country Horsemen by our friend Bernie Lionberger.

A horse drawn horse hearse that one of our neighbors had. I wanted to buy it but they wanted way way more than I could afford. They did sell it. I don't know why I wanted it but it intrigued me.

Bob bought these spurs when he was 12 at a feed store in Puyallup for $12.00. They have been appraised for over $300.00 a few years ago. Probably more now.

I feel better today but my stomach still hurts when I eat anything. Soup has all that entered my mouth today.

Hope your day tomorrow is wonderful. Blessings.

Yuma shortly after we adopted him. He was so cute..Still is of course but he was little and sweet.

All the snow that is left.

Sunning themselves yesterday morning. Don't they look relaxed.

Am just laying around because I don't feel good at all. Be back tomorrow.

Blessings.
