Hi All,
Boards seem to be cooperating right now. A wild thunderstorm rolled through this afternoon, hail and tornado warnings in some places. Rode before the storm and decided to leave Lukas in which I was feeling a little bad about but once the storm hit I was glad he was in. Played music on my phone while we rode and it seems to relax him or distract him either way it works well. Lukas tends to be very alert to every little "strange noise" in the indoor if he is in there without another horse, he seems to like the "70"s" station. the disco beat is good for trotting, LOL. Very much looking forward to my lesson tomorrow, even though I know it will be difficult. We took a break from the whole head set thing and now we are back to working on it tomorrow. I think the break was good I feel ready to work on it and not as frustrated.

Faye- the jodhpurs are still around. They are the pants that go OVER the shorter ankle height boots. The breeches are the pants that go INSIDE the tall boots. In hunter competition the Jr.s and Adults wear breeches with tall boots and the children wear jodhpurs with short boots. There are jodhpurs in adult sizes too but they are not worn in hunter competition.

My WI was yesterday and I was down just .2 lbs. but at least it was in the correct direction. I have lost some of my momentum that I had when I first started the journal I am trying to get that inspiration back. I am considering buying a "goal dress" that is in the size I want to be. I had a "goal dress" when I first started WW but I fit it now. It was an awesome feeling the first time I wore it in public.

Hi to all, I am still putting comments under your posts. I hope you all are well, or getting better.

HAGD

Good morning all -Sunday - well yesterday was a bust -I made one sale at the very end of the day -one of the musicians who had bought from me last year! At least I made my table fee (it was only $15) 2 of the artists didn't even do that! pretty much the only people coming in were the "groupies" of the musicians & their families!

My friend did take Penny out w/Dee -she's the other boarder -her horse is 32ish & has cushings so he has a very heavy coat -(he's on meds) and they went out so late she was afraid he would get too hot & sweaty even at a walk so she rode Penny -which she has other times. All was good -we were thinking of all going out this morning -but it is VERY windy (and only 35 right now) so I will see when i get to the barn if I even want to go out. They said the footing was still slushy & icy so today it may be more icy.

Dutch -love the picture of Allie -she is cute -I forgot -what are your plans (english? western? jumping?)

Amy -congrats on WL -and getting Lukas moving & of course the braiding!

Cathy- are things settling down at the condo w/ the kids?

Libby -sounds like a win/win for you all with the horses -

Beth & Faye - hope you guys are doing good -

Windows are just about done -yesterday they realized they mis-measured one of the long windows by 12" so they put in a temp piece & have to re-order , tomorrow they finish the big picture windows.

Anyone watching the oscars tonight? I enjoy that & have seen 3 of the movies!

Waving to all - HAGD

My db came over and looked at Lucy yesterday. He isn't a vet-although he is very skilled. I've been giving her bute and locked her in the stall. He said give her banamine and let her walk on it, not stall rest. It's not her shoulder, looks like a combo hoof infection and sprain. Cleaning her frog with betadine. Poor thing doesn't want to walk much still. Trotting thru! HAGR

LIBBY-i hope LUcy is better . 
BARB-sorry about the show. glad you at least made the fee.  good luck with the windows. does any house project ever go off without a hitch? Mismeasure? out of stock? you get the idea. I watch the red carpet and the oscars but I think I saw 2-hidden figures and Arrival.
Last time we had some downpour. better today but back to cold
CATHY-enjoy Staycation. any plans?

going to a wind symphony, my harp pal (yesterday was fun) also plays french horn in an orchestra and they are doing a concert at the local museum. Went another time and it was fun.

waving to all. HAGD

Much cooler here today. I woke up around 4am coughing and choking. Now I have a slight sore throat. I'm trying not to talk much. I didn't go to church today. Mostly reading and maybe a little TV.

Ha! Nothing to remember yet! I have no solid plans for her yet. My recent background is dressage. But I've done western, hunters and plain, fun ole trail riding. I'm letting her direct her path for now.

libby - hope it helps! So frustrating!

Hi, all!

Faye, hope you had fun at the concert!
Beth...what are we going to do with you??!?! I hope you're OK!
Barb, bummer about the show. But that was nice that Penny got out and about!
Dutch, yeah...it's tough when hobbies - don't need to be shared but at least respected - don't match. Hope you can sort it out. Ally is a cute little bugger tho'!
Libby, I hope Lucy starts to feel better soon! Has DH headed back to AZ?
Amy, hey, take any loss you can! I've never tried the outfit for the future...I have to fine motivation for something. I thought I'd want to lose weight for my niece's graduation in May, but all I've done is gain

Lunch yesterday was nice; I'm glad I was able to get "over the hill" and home again with no issues at all. Even did a little shopping

Back to the red carpet...missed Viggo on ABC, have to try another channel
