You Call This a Vacation?
— Beverly Sills (1929-) American Opera Singer
Guess what it’s been doing all week? That’s right, it’s been raining. And the horses have been hiding out. And there has been much wiping of Java paws. The clouds have been pretty interesting. But nothing, not rain, nor sleet, nor snow, stops Java from playing with her branches. But today we are looking at…
“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.” — Mother Teresa I should be working on my story, I know, but I have some things on my mind that I need to get out first. It’s been a rough week. Things happen behind…
Despite the best of intentions, it’s been awhile since I posted here and will probably be awhile before I post again. It’s been an interesting summer — strange and perplexing and directionless and maybe a better summer because of that.
It reached the low 70s today.Cloudy and muggy but an event just the same. The warm, humid weather has brought out the gnats already. As I rush around after work each day, it seems like there is too much to do and not nearly enough time. I’m sure no one out there can relate to…
Here is proof positive that I’m not very good with money. I own a horse. And he’s looking kind of wooly too. And yeah, I left his sheet off after I rode so his sweaty self could dry a bit in the mild weather. Nothing says spend, spend, spend like a horse does. Make that…
“It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand.

Your sister and brother in law are great and I’m sure you enjoyed their help and company. You have a beautiful barn! So nice that they could be there to help you in so many ways.
Thanks for all your sweet comments. When are you coming over for dinner?
Bring Java.
So glad that your sis and b-i-l came to visit. Seems to have helped you enormously.
As for the barn door being left open etc – I’m a bit confused. Who made the mess? The horses? Raccoons? Java?
I take care of my friend’s horses sometimes, and she’s always emphasizing closing doors so the horses don’t get into things – so I’m betting on the horses.
Me too…who made the mess? I didn’t know horses were sneaky mess makers.
What a great sister and brother-in-law…and really cute folks too!
Lori – As soon as I can find a horse sitter, Java and I will be there.
KB and Lynn – The back barn door opens up to the paddock so yes, it was the horses that came in and tore things apart. I couldn’t believe they emptied the trash, which had no food in it, when they had free rein of the hay. So yes, they do things sometimes just because they are curious.
wow you are blessed with such great family… you take ‘er ez
