Good morning and Happy Spring! AMY-so glad you had a good lesson. Maybe trying the new bit showed Lukas he needs to get with the program  Glad you can return it. CATHY-any swimming this weekend? when do you go to the podiatrist. Glad you spoke to another parent and all seems to have quieted down. do you have a lesson today? how's the Facetime working out? hope you like the new Kim R. book. I love her arrangements. Bridget Cruise is really pretty. I think it's in that one. LIBBY-hope all is packed and have a good time in AZ. BETH-how are you both feeling? is DH back driving the bus today? or was last week back to school? BARB-are you done picking pieces for the next thing?

Hi All,
I posted last night about the great fun I had at my lesson yesterday. I am still on cloud 9. I know every ride is not a great one so I am savoring the moment HA! I might go out to the barn after work but if I ride it will be an easy walk around outside. It is supposed to be a nice day.
I always learned that the first day of spring is the 21st. Now the news is saying today is the first day of spring. I should try to balance an egg on the counter.
I have actually started using one of those 7 day pill box things so I remember to take my supplements. I am only taking 3 right now. A centrum silver multivitamin. A fish oil for cholesterol and biotin for my nails, hair and skin. The biotin is a new addition but I will say that it seems to be working well. My nails were constantly breaking and splitting and now I currently have all ten in tact. I have also given up diet soda and replaced it with drinking water. I really missed the soda at first but now I am fine with it. I hope this lasts.
Hi to all! got to go to work!
Amy

Happy "Spring" -Amy - so glad you had a good ride! It is always good to end on a good note! And speaking of notes.....Faye -when you do shows do you still read the music or do you have it all memorized?
Yesterday & this morning my tooth is fine -no tenderness at all -but I did put a call in to my dentist to discuss options. Heading to the gym in a bit -then the barn -may try to ride after lunch -depends on the melting.

Good morning.Happy Spring. It's supposed to get to 82 today. I'll be opening up some windows and doors. I don't want to start the air conditioner quite yet.
I'm beginning to feel human again. First morning in a long time I haven't woke up coughing. DH is back to driving the bus. He's already counting the school days left before summer. Today is his DM's birthday. She's 92.
Amy-so glad you had a great lesson yesterday and glad you can return the bit back. What is the thing with balancing an egg on the counter?
Faye-wished I could live closer and hear you practicing your music.
Barb-good that you are calling the dentist about the tooth. A root canal is better than having false teeth.
Cathy-I imagine with all the swimming you do that you have a strong set of arms on you. Has the rain settled down in your neck of the woods?
Libby-safe traveling!

BETH-so glad you are feeling better and Happy Birthday to DM. My mother was only 68 when she died, way too young.
BARB-I try to have several memorized and I read the rest. I memorize sections and I need the music to keep the sections in the right order for the ones I Sightread. Good luck at the dentist. Would you go to an endodontist for a 2nd opinion?
AMY-have a good ride if you go today.
LIBBY-have a good trip
CATHY-are you starting some painting lessons again? I thought you said you were to get a fresh look at things.
hope Dutch is having a good time.
waving to all. HAGD.

Hi horse lovers, Been up since 4:30 packing and cleaning. Was too tired last night and needed to get feet up. Realized I forgot to clear out the lazy Susan in the kitchen-ugh! Will do that next. Bus coming at 11:30 to get to the airport. I have to mark where I want the two new skylights, haven't really decided that- OMGosh! panic! either spaced evenly or over table and kitchen arm? The skylights weren't in the original plan. I'd better start a list right now of everything I have to do  Sunny day today and low 50's. Wave to all! HAGD! |

Hi, all! Libby, don't you love the last minute stuff!?!?! If you can't sleep, might as well find things to do. The foot sx is re: those 2 nerves that are fighting for space between the 3rd/4th toes. That's where all the pain is. I go in today to possibly get another cortisone shot and discuss options. Have fun in AZ!!! Faye, I did find the Chanter song, and it is a lovely arrangement. I'll have to check out the other one you mentioned. I found this song somewhere...it's not celtic, but by Holst. "I Love My Love" with 4 flats. It's a simple melody but with accidentals so not sure how easy it would be to figure it out on the harp. Lesson is today, yes. Beth, glad you're feeling better. Wow...82? We didn't have that nice weather during last week's break in the rain. The rain is back this week  Barb, I'm so sorry about the issues with your parents. Mine are in their early 80's but still kicking. They both drive, but mom only drives a couple of miles from home (I think the stroke kind of messed with her memory). They get so independent that they don't want help so very frustrating. I hope you can get things sorted out...or at least deal with the frustration! Amy, I LOVE that you had an amazing ride and are still feeling the after-affects! Keep up the positive work! And loved the "sassy pants" reference...that got a giggle So did go for a bike ride yesterday, very nice, sun was sort of out but the weather was calm and the tide was out. Seat bones are sore today Busy work day and have the dr appointment and lesson this afternoon. Cathy |

Hi All,
Have to leave for work soon so real quick
Beth- you can balance a raw egg on it's end on a level counter top during the spring equinox but not at other times of the year it has to do with what the planet doing with rotation and angles this time of year. At least that is what I remember from childhood. I just did it and it worked LOL. Posted on FB.
Cathy- glad you had a nice bike ride. I don't like hills on bikes so I only ride at the beach. HA! Have a good lesson!
Libby -have fun and I hope you get all the last min. stuff done. I love sky lights, that is a great addition.
Barb- the gym then the barn then riding. You are getting your fitness in for sure.
Faye we are starting to get some decent weather again, how about you? Have you been to NYC lately?
really got to run to work!
HAGD

Good morning -actually didn't ride yesterday -planning on today -before the freeze again! Tooth is still fine -dentist said it's up to me -I'll know when it's finally time -and just call the root canal man direct! The next flare up will be it! The guys are here installing the last window (they had mis-measured by 12") then on to the next project -the floor -
Libby have a safe trip & keep in touch -(did you get the ponies all straightened out?)
Waving to Faye -Cathy-Beth & Amy -more later - HAGD

Good morning. It's supposed to get to 86 today. It did get to 83 yesterday. If it keeps getting this warm I'll have to turn on the AC. I'm still doing better with only and occasional cough.

AMY-according to SNOPES you can balance an egg even if not the equinox. depends on the egg. never tried. I'm happy to make it to the counter from the fridge without dropping it Haven't been in the city . will go next month to see Hello Dolly and have tkts to WARPAINT in the summer. donated to NYC BAllet so got rehearsal tickets. In the past I had dress rehearsal tickets (guess I gave more then) and that was fun. this is not a dress rehearsal so should be interesting. and doing MOther's day at the Met museum for lunch and an exhibit i want to see so NY visiting will be soon. weather ok here today but tomorrow will be cold. BARB-glad about the tooth. BETH-glad you are feeling better. have you started on the order yet? LIBBY-enjoy AZ. hope you have a nice time. waving to all. HAGD |

Hi, all! Faye, that sounds like a lot of NYC...is that all in one day??!? I'm assuming not Worked on the Chanter song with teacher yesterday, just going through fingerings and bass line. She has a different version (of course) so will pencil it in. Barb, glad tooth is OK for the time being. Yeah, I'd be putting if off too if it wasn't bothering me. So lets see: you have freezing weather, Beth has 80's and we have rain. Gotta love it! Beth, I cannot believe it will get so warm there...in March?? Is it unseasonable? Amy, interesting about the egg...can't say that I ever tried that. All I know is if they float while cooking they are "old". Hope you get in a ride! Hi to Libby and Dutch, our travelers! Got another cortisone shot. He would rather try this a few times (I guess it's not an issue since the drug is going into the nerve and not a joint). He said sometimes the sx works, sometimes not. He wants me to see if my insurance will cover orthotics. My other ones are SUPER old so new ones may correct for this issue, not sure. Pouring today...I don't think it stopped overnight. Went in for a blood draw; new medical coverage is sponsoring, with my company, a wellness program. You get a $50 Visa gift card for participating so what the heck! I already know my BMI is high, and cholesterol probably as well...sigh. Hope to swim today. Cathy |

Hi, all! Faye, it's kind of a "day trip" to SF if I go. I went to see Loreena McKennitt last spring; an old high school chum lives up there and she drove us around. Send me the info, who knows...my friend might like to see her as well Libby, I know you're cabinets are going in today because the fence guys are here putting in the fence Hope everyone is doing OK today, in the cold or heat, depending on where you live! The rain has stopped this morning which is why the fence guys are here. Didn't know if they were going to show, but heard their voices so now they are tearing the old fence down. Might have to move upstairs to work Got in a swim yesterday. When I first got there, only 3 of us, but by the time I left, folks were waiting for lanes. The water level was at the top of the pool and the water was cool, at least to me so wore my rash guard. Probably won't get out today depending on how the fence takes to go up. I think they are probably pretty quick Cathy |

Hi All,
I did get out to ride yesterday. when I brought Lukas in I noticed a little blood on the lower left hind so before I did anything I washed all 4 legs and put a little silver spray on a tiny cut he had. Probably overkill but better safe then sorry when it comes to the legs! Had a really fun practice ride and got my "homework" done except for the turn on the forehand which I forgot to do. The weather was so pretty, in the 50's and sunny so we did a nice cool down walk outside. There was a pretty good size puddle in the parking lot and he walked right through it. I was happy with that, some horses don't like water. Lukas is getting the world's slowest introduction to trail riding but that is OK. It is not what I want to focus on right now. My main goal is showing for the next 3 years but I also eventually want a versatile horse.
On the WW front I went to a nutritionist today and picked up a lot of good information on how I can change a few things I am eating as well as some new products to try. I am still following the WW program but trying to enhance it.
It is a bit colder today and I have housework so I most likely won't make it to the barn today. (stupid housework) I should be able to get out there tomorrow and it should be better weather.
HAGD

Good late afternoon. Today is the first day I've been out of the house in 2 weeks. I'm feeling normal now and so is DH. I went to Bible study this morning. We have 4 more weeks and then we are through with Isaiah. We'll have the summer off and start the "next" year (in Sept.) with the book of Matthew which is the first book of the New Testament. I'm glad for that.

HI - just realized I missed yesterday & most of today -been busy crazy -I did ride yesterday it was in the 50's rode in just a t-shirt! Short ride just about 40 minutes the trails were soft & mushy/slushy -but it was good to get out -now today -holy crap - COLD, WINDY -wind chill in single digits -Got a hair cut -cut it very short -then fed lunch & changed Penny's blanket from medium to heavy -but in the transfer there was some static electricity & we both got a shock -the blanket was on her but not buckled -she bolted -running off & the blanket slid off her -It then took me 5 minutes (in the cold wind) for her to let me catch her (of course I don't use a halter to do this!). then met a friend for lunch & had my nails done. Tooth is ok - buy scratchy throat -trying to catch Beth's cold!
Have all my stuff inventoried for the weekend craft mart -taking the glass up this weekend.
Beth - glad you are finally up & about (I don't know if I could not go out that long!) Amy sounds like you & Lukas enjoyed the nice day as well -Cathy- you said people were waiting for lanes -do they only allow one at a time? Are you limited in how long you can swim? Faye - a friend of mine saw Dolly last week w/ Bette - said it was fantastic! very jealous! Libby -happy trails!
HAGE (evening!)

Good morning-
BARB-good luck with the show. did you do a Spring color on your nails? I switched when I did my toes yesterday (I do it myself). Thanks for the Hello Dolly review! I saw Carol Channing when she did it, never saw Bette Midler live. very curious. can't wait. (I think I know the harpist -Hello Dolly is one of about 6 shows on Brdwy with a live Harpist. ) Cold here too.
BETH-glad you got out!
CATHY-glad you got to swim. what fence and are they redoing it? any decisions on if you are doing some planting? Are you going to meet the harp buddy?
AMY-have fun if you ride. when do you want to start showing? this Spring?Summer?
LIBBY-hope you are enjoying AZ and things are going well back home with the kitchen.
Kabbalah then practicing harp. very sad about London.
HAGD everyone

So after there I ran out to the barn to do a quick clean & lunch -when i went around the corner (behind the shed where the breakfast nets are on a fence) there was a 1/2 eaten deer leg -GROSS ME OUT!!!!!  Ran down to BM and made him come up and move it -he said it wasnt' there when he fed breakfast this morning? And Oh yeah - he's going away for 2 weeks starting Sunday -can we do breakdfasts? (Dee & I) yes we can but 2 weeks gets long .......(am i spoiled?)

Hi, all! Barb, so sorry you got sick...and a DEER LEG??!?! Whoa, that is totally odd. What's big enough out there to eat deer? Mt lions? Gotta wonder. Feel better soon! Beth, I always feel boring too, so don't worry about it. Glad you're feeling well enough to get out and about! Who's the new avatar? Amy, glad you got in a ride and yes, always good to take care of the little knicks the kids get Faye, I agree, too early for toenails. I usally wait until summer when I'm wearing sandals. Have fun practicing today! I think we're shooting for next Thursday to meet up with the other harpist. She sounds busy, unlike me. The fence is just 17', I think. It separates my "yard" from my neighbors, since we're in townhouses. I also had them add 34' of privacy screen to the top of the retaining wall on the other 2 sides. Now the neighborhood kitties and kids will find it harder to goof around back there. At some point, when I have money again, I hope to put in a paver patio, with some plants around the fence line. I do like to garden a bit, but not too much anymore. Right now it's just a muddy mess Hope to swim today since I didn't get out yesterday. Cathy |

I changed my avatar this morning. This is Sally who is some sort of hound. We found her in the woods about 6 yrs ago. she was emaciated and starving. We took her in and now she's so fat. She's 10+ yrs or more.

BARB-glad it's not strep but don't overdo while sick. good idea to lay low and have some soup and a TV binge. Oh, and Ick, for the deer leg. Wonder what kind of animal dragged it there. double ick.
CATHY- I always have my toes polished because of yoga year round. patio would be nice. we have one. Don't use it much but nice when it's there
AMY-just checking that Lukus's leg is ok and no more blood. hope you get to ride.
BETH-cute dog. love the photo. So how many dogs, cats currently.
oh, and Judy got cleared for weight bearing . Charlotte lost a pound so even though eating a little she's still worried.

Glad you can return it.
