Good morning Sunday! Still cold/windy -did the barn in record time! The time change hasn't hit me yet I find the second day is worse! Going to venture to dog park as we haven't been in 2 days -then just stuff around the house
We are "scheduled" to get 12+" on Tuesday! So tired of this
Waving to all - keep warm -ride if you can -HAGD -CBL

Is this normal for weather Faye and Barb? Seems like you both have been getting a lot of almost spring snow! Cathy; glad kitty recovered from vet visit! 75 degrees sounds wonderful! Beth; are you staying well? how is dh? Dutch; Heidi bought Maximus with the intent of selling him. She has fallen in love with him and doesn't want to sell him now lol is this what's going on with Ali? Amy; how was the viewing/funeral? so sad! I had a frustrating time on Rosie yesterday. She wouldn't walk on the lunge line after cantering and she was not listening to me, ended up giving her quick jerks on the line after not listening to voice commands or body language, stepping in and in front of her. When I got on her she was calm and walked at first  then after trotting I had to really work to keep her at a walk, I got mad at her. I know that's wrong! old habits die hard. Got her to walk 1/3 of the arena and quit on a good note. This is going to be a hard 3 months!! Wondering if I should just stay on the trails with her where she is happy and not jiggy. I was reading an article about when to change horses. I guess I'm discouraged. 1/2 of my arena is still ride-able at walk/trot, if it stays dry as forecasted this afternoon I'll ride Lucy I'm really sore from the packing and riding! I've got to p/u more boxes today and finish packing the pantry and some glass/pottery platters, antique stuff from my mom and gmom. Then I guess I'll buy frozen meals till a week from Monday when I'm off to AZ for a few week! HAGD everyone! |

Hi, all!
Barb, it seems to take me a couple of weeks to get used to the time change. The animals always have a hard time. Wow...12" in March??!? That does seem late for you guys.
Libby, sorry about the bbummer of a ride. Can you mix it up a bit with Rosie and go on trails where she is? Or is there just the ring? Don't beat yourself up...we all have those days.
Faye, huh, so Kim Robertson has an arrangement? I'll see if I can find that. I think our teacher taught us a funky bass line and so I guess that's why this woman wants me to learn the melody, so she can play the bass line.
Terrible night...I ate something that did not agree with me (nothing different except for one thing but will toss all items used to make dinner). Lots of cramping and diarrhea. Thought I would hike today but will do laundry and maybe walk later today...or not.
Judy has been texting me about Charlotte. She's pretty worried, and takes her back in today for more tests. Poor thing...it's become quite $$$.
Cathy

Yes - this is not the norm -but it is NE -and as we have had -60's one week a foot of snow then next -just hope it melts fast. Libby -sorry that Rosie is testing you -can the trainer help you (or is this what she is telling you to do?) I think if you can ride this out (no pun intended) there may be a light at the end of the tunnel once she realizes you mean it -as we know - mares can be stubborn. Hang in & be safe!
As Cathy mentioned -Judy is having big issues with her kitty & yes it does seem to be mounting up $$ -and they don't seem to be able to figure out what the issue is -hope they can find some answer soon for her sake - I keep trying to get her over here -maybe once this is settled & her PT levels out (she is still in a wheelchair)
I am pissed at DH -while we did go out last night w/ one set of friends -we had tentative plans w/ a different couple who usually are in FL this time of year -came up on Friday for DGS's birthday -going back tomorrow until April -anyway -yesterday I mentioned they wanted to have dinner tonite -DH was ok -now today he decides "he ate too much last night & doesn't want to go out again" and yet -he will snack on chips & drink wine at dinner ( he will measure the wine as he is "tracking on his fitbit" but drink 2 or 3 glasses) and snacking -I am ranting I know -not the end of the world but we are just spending too much together time! And the snow storm won't help - thanks for listening - done (for now!)
Have several new pieces in the works -one is a wedding gift for friend's daughter -we were invited to the wedding but not going for several reasons -Going to watch last week's Nashville & what else I have taped before the new week starts -waving to all -

Good afternoon. DH still isn't feeling well although he did get some sleep last night which means I got some sleep. Last night my throat started getting a little sore. it's still sore this morning and I'm a little congested but not bad. 2017 has NOT been a good year for us health wise so far. We both slept in this morning and ate a very late breakfast. DH is in the bed with one of the cats (Blossom) right now.

BETH-hope you and DH feel better
CATHY-I'll look up which book Kim's arrangement is in but it's not a duet. I think Janet Witman's was a duet. I've been messaging Judy about Charlotte. they ruled out a lot but still not sure. I can't imagine how much $ this is and she's so worried. HOpe Charlotte will be ok.
LIBBY-sorry about the lesson. there are days like that. Weather is odd all winter. usually we have snow Nov-Feb but it's like we had March in Feb and now Feb in March. they are saying a lot so got some food today.
BARB-sorry about DH. hope you get to see your friends.
AMY- how is your trainer doing?
DUTCH-hope all is well
had lovely day with DD at the mall yesterday and tea today. Yoga teacher coming in a few minutes. then dinner and we'll take her home. Got a lot done. was able to switch weight training to tomorrow (and I have a facial in the afternoon) and Pilates to Thurs. so glad I could take care of that. Doing better with eating. much less snacking so hope I can continue that. I feel "lighter".
waving to all. HAGD

Dutch; Heidi bought Maximus with the intent of selling him. She has fallen in love with him and doesn't want to sell him now lol is this what's going on with Ali? Ha! Yes, it is (was?). Time will always tell! Waves to all. And here's some NO snow wishes to those that need them! |
