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!

Started out right away this morning on my manure project. The side of the barn went from this: To this. I got the worst of it done in four bucket loads. I know I said I’d only do three but that didn’t even take me half way down the side of the barn. Ended…
I wasn’t going to blog today, but it has been quite a day and I have to unload on someone. Lucky you. First off, it was pouring rain this morning, which is a good thing because it’s been so dry here. But does a whole years worth of rain have to come down all at…
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart” — Confucius I was busy yesterday moving Luke to his new home, then helping send Murphy off to his new home. There was an e-mail from the new Murphy family last night, reporting that Murphy is curious about the other horses, is bonding with one of their…
After only two days of supporting new software users, I’m exhausted. Today I had three people fighting over me to come fix problems or show them how to do something. Hectic, but it was nice to be able to help people figure things out. I love troubleshooting and solving problems! I wish I got to…
I went cross country skiing Saturday afternoon. It was wonderful seeing the sun and the bluest of blue skies. No wind was a plus too. We explored a few new trails, getting into the “harder” but not “hardest” trails yet. Only one nasty spill. I had my usual problem with going down a hill and having…
It’s almost Easter and I’ve been feeling nostalgic. My adoptive Mom was Polish and at Easter time she made a beet and horseradish relish that we called “Kassan”. I have no idea how to spell it. My Mom We had this relish on our hard-boiled eggs, kielbasa (Polish sausage), ham and whatever else we felt like…

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.
