Chalk Another One Up For Mary
Just a brief word, because I am so totally proud of myself! I drove the horse trailer with Murphy in it to the park and went riding for about an hour — all by myself!

Moving in little baby steps of separation, thinking that will ease the pain. Instead, each minor step brings another stabbing jolt. Ouch! The latest step was to open my own checking account. Woo… hoo… I’m trying to distance, trying to stop thinking in terms of “us”. It’s working so well for me, don’t you…
I got together with some friends the other day and they gave some rather “unique” belated-birthday gifts. There was also a candy necklace in the goody bag but I already ate that. There is one gift in there that I’m not going to call by name or I’ll get all sorts of weird Googling traffic. My…
Well it’s the first day of December. Where are my 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo? Nowhere. Okay, so I did 19,927 words before fear and gloom won out. Again. I feel like a football player who’s had 10 players pile on top of him after the tackle. Someone please throw a flag! And get that darn…
I did it! I’m so excited! Luke and I made it to Crow Hassan Park! I was pretty nervous about this drive with the trailer — narrow, windy roads and I wasn’t sure how the trailer parking would be. There were a lot of trailers there, but the parking area is so large that I…
It doesn’t take much to make a dog happy. And Java’s antics are always good for a laugh. This is a video of the things that make Java happy. Lest you fear for her life running with the horses, it’s not a regularly allowed thing, not because the horses try to hurt her — they…
Java and I took a walk at the Rum River at 9 AM. The temperature was only in the low 40s and there was a chilly wind. Quite a switch from the 70s and even 80s that we had earlier in the week. But mostly sunny so that made it still gorgeous out. The clouds…

How exciting! Glad you had a nice ride.
Yeah! I am so happy for you! You did it! Wasn’t that so much fun? Now you can just take off and go riding, and know that you can!
Lovin’ the orange halter! Gotta do it if there are hunters around!
Congratulations!!!! You *should* be proud of yourself!!! Way to go Mary and Murphy!!! 🙂
Mary….see! Already you are moving forward. The good news is that you found out you can do it. I find that when I take Berlin away from the farm she is more dependent on me…even if we are with other horses. A couple of days ago when we rode down the lane behind our farm, she was a pain in the butt knowing that the rest of the herd was close by. I sure hope you don’t have to sell either horse. You need them and they need you. Keep up the good work.
Al-right Mary…you go girl (and Murphey)!!!!!
That’s wonderful! I don’t like bumping into hunters in the bush either-the orange halter does make sense, and it looks pretty too!
Yea! Go Mary! That is exciting news. I bet you felt really good. I like the bright halter….a great idea, actually! 😉
I had such a great time, I did it all over again the next day with Luke. Total bummer that I’ll be losing the trailer and truck in the divorce. Hopefully I’ll find a place to board that’s right on a big trail system.
I sure wish I could keep Murphy but I don’t see how I could pay the bills on him. He’s such a good trail horse. I hope I can find someone that will appreciate him the way I do.
