CATHY-hope you can get the contractor and put this to an end. gee! DH drives me to the city. poor thing took me, drove home. had to come again the next night to bring me clothes then the next day to pick me up. Luckily her building has a driveup driveway and we can park for a few minutes to run up. would be a nightmare without that. BETH-glad DH knee is better and same with your neck. hope it continues to improve with today's appt. Big swing in temp here too, in the 90s! AMY-any more shows coming up?did you look for a lighter weight jacket for showing? DUTCH-good luck with interviews etc. BARB-if hot like here, your puddles should be drying up. LIBBY-how are Lucy and Rosie doing? allergies any better? Rosie fattening up?
waving to all. HAGD

Good Afternoon- Faye- glad DD is ok - running out at midnight -scary! Are you staying for a while? (I know you have said before - but how long a drive? train? is it?)
Libby -yes, -a light at the end of the tunnel -then on the the next one -that's where we were earlier this year -floors are going to wait a while longer!
Dutch - hope the job works out for you -
Amy -I'm guessing the outdoors lesson had lots of scary things to look at! Sound like you handled it well -and lunch after is even better!
Dr apt was good -got a pneumonia shot -ekg - and she wants me to have echo cardiogram -just because. And as I knew (since i had been putting it off ) a colonoscopy ! My weight was actually down from last visit (still about 10 lbs more than I want ..but hey) Then took Penny out for the long loop (about 4.5 miles) good thing it's in the woods & shady -cause it was 92 when we got back & she was wet. I sponged her down -thought about hosing- glad I didn't because (i know you horse ladies will be shocked) she rolled the minute I turned her out! The mud is slowly drying up -still some deep/wet spots but less & less.
Running errands w/ DH - then chill -Waving to Cathy & Beth (hope your aches and pains are better!)
Stay cool (been a long time since we had to say that!) - HAGD --CBL

BARB-DD is an hour by car. DH drove because it was night and also wanted to see how she was. then he left. Funny more cars than you'd think at 1AM! and all the trucks on the side of the road, I guess their drivers were sleeping. Bad virus, but luckily she was ok. Glad all was ok at appt.
Car accident in Times square-1 dead several injured. looks like DUI. very sad.

Gah - server timed out and I lost my post. Hi all! Hoping you're all avoiding the storms I heard about. We finally have some sunshine! Went out and groomed Ally last night. Gave her a treat and she decided to just swallow it whole - and choked on it. Wholly crap - scared me! In 40yrs that's never happened to me! Hopefully never again. She seems to be fine now, but that was 5 minutes of panic for me! Have a wonderful weekend!

OK, I'll just sit a pace... Faye, glad DD is doing better. Nice DH to drive so much. 1AM is a different world, isn't it? Beth, good luck at the chiro...does he/she have a "rack"? Can't remember what they call that odd couch they use for the mechanical manipulation. If so, double points on your post Barb, car inspection? Is this the yearly smog check (that we have in CA for older cars)? Glad you got in a ride yesterday! Bleh...colonoscopy. I think I'm due again next year. Do they have any miracle drugs yet to take the place of the yuk you have to drink? Libby, wow...sounds like a busy house for a bit. How long are they AK folks staying? Hi to Dutch and Amy! Got in a nice swim yesterday, until foot cramp, which wouldn't resolve so had to give up. Sun was out for the first time in a while so kind of a drag to quit early. Finally got a hold of contractor. Apparently he needs the OK from the claims adjustor before getting the work assigned, which is different that I remember being told. I thought he was sort of a "free" agent. If I had my own contractor / drywall guy, I would just get it done. But in looking at this guys estimate, some of the things don't apply anymore (hauling waste - all wet drywall/ insulation already gone) so I'm hoping they aren't expecting me to pay them back any money. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens... Going hiking tomorrow with Meetup group, so will probably run errands today that I had planned for tomorrow. Cathy

CATHY-this is the project that goes on and on. so sorry. How's your foot? did the cramp go away? were you dehydrated, I know that does it to me. BARB-hope all went well with the car inspection. DUTCH-I've never seen a horse choke. didn't know they could. some animals can't throw up-i'm pretty sure rabbits can't , can horses? Glad she was OK!!! BETH-hope the chiropractor continues to help you. LIBBY-enjoy time with your relatives. did you know they were coming?
waving to all . HAGE

Cathy - this is the "song that never ends" - just keep eyeing the prize! In NH all cars have to be inspected yearly -since mine is only 2 years old it was a no brainer -except -i took it to the mechanic we have used for over 30 years -for some reason he thought i also wanted oil change -when we finally realized what they had done- (I had an oil change just 2 months ago) they just said -ok - in the over 30 years I guess we can eat an oil change for you!
got a quick ride in after Upreach -it was hot but breezy -we just did a quick 1.5 mile loop -it's the first time this year I have been able to ride 4 days in a row! Tomorrow I am the ring announcer for my horse club's horse show so Penny will have the day off.
Libby- as was said - enjoy your company -
sounds like we all were busy today- it is cooling off now - windows back open for fresh air!
Waving to all -

Hi All,
Faye- horses can't throw up. glad DD is doing better, it is good you went out because it is hard to be sink alone.
Beth- hope you and DH are both improving.
Cathy- This seems endless for you with the garage. I hope it all gets settled soon.
Dutch- so sorry you had such a scare! glad Ally is OK.
Libby- when do you think the kitchen project will be done.
My next show is coming up on Sunday May 28th. I was not able to find a new jacket yet so I will just have to wear what I have.
Was 93 at the barn yesterday and rainy and chilly today. Tired of the big temp. swings.
Going to a dance competition with DD1 tomorrow. Should be a long day but I know these will not be a part of my life much longer so I think I would regret not going.
HAGD Amy

Hi, all! Faye, maybe not hydrated as much as I should be. I thought drinking the electrolites would help but this time it didn't. I'll keep trying. I hiked today with new orthotics and NO PAIN!! Lovely... Beth, glad the wedding was nice and you got home in time to watch the Preakness. Barb, have fun announcing! Penny will enjoy the day off Amy, I never had more that one jacket either. My mom's mom used to make me jackets, so...well...not so fashionable Have fun at the dance competition! Hi to Dutch and Libby! Nice hike, but was warm, in the open on the trip up. Had to check for ticks after I got home, saw them on the long grass and I was wearing shorts Cat seemed fine but she did some gagging and doesn't seem too happy. She does it periodically, like maybe she has a hiatal hernia Cats CAN puke, horses can't...that's why they get colic. Tomorrow will be my marketing and errands, as well as cleaning since didn't get done today. Cathy

Good Morning - Amy - yes I know exactly what you mean about temp extremes - and of course -we are slated to get more rain this week -our paddock will never dry up! Have fun w/ DD1 -yes, the times with them go way too fast -so enjoy while you can.
Beth- was it a family or friend wedding? the Preakness was pretty exciting - I always want Donna Brother's job!
the horse show was kind of disappointing-very small turn out -most classes only had 2 or 3 in them, a couple only 1 and several had to cancel. One saddle seat barn showed up w/ 5 or 6 horses & many riders for them, one club member and 2 others and that was it. one woman had an 8 yr old Oldenburg (Amy - is that what Lukas is?) and the mare was stunning- she took all her classes blues -well deserved. Keep in mind this is a "schooling show" -and apparently it was the first time the woman has shown her off her property -she was a pleasure to watch.
DH & I bought some flowers & veggies yesterday -planted the flowers -still need more -will most likely hold off on planting the veggies until next weekend since we are supposed to get rain most of this week.
Dutch - do you know what Ally choked on? glad she is ok -
Faye- how is DD?
Waving to Libby & Cathy -hope you ladies are doing well
Off to ride in a bit

DD bought a new pull behind 26' trailer and parked it in our driveway last night. I made chili and we roasted hot dogs and s'mores! Her in-laws came over and it was really fun! Had a little camping in our front yard! I was so sick during the night! lol, I don't usually eat after 7 pm, yet it didn't get dark until 9:30, so it was a late night. DGD and I put bareback pads on the horses and rode all around our property, set up a little jump in the arena. I wasn't paying attention and trotted Rosie over the jump, Lucy kind of took off after us and DGD was a reluctant jumper- she was mad, yet I think just scared. It was only a foot high and neither of them really jumped it, more of a high step. So, we walked around more to build her confidence and control up (re-introduced her to the one rein stop).Funny thing is she's the one who always asks me about jumping lessons. I hear people getting up, my dsil must have just left to get coffee or something. He is going to put all the electrical switches and plug ins in today. The painter got stuck on another job, so yesterday morning I painted around every light switch/outlet in the kitchen and a small wall. DD, dgd, ds and I are going to my gnieces birthday party at 10:30 in Tacoma at a trampoline place, while the guys work on the lights. Cathy: yeah the orthotic helped! sorry about the cramps! Not fun, I have medication for that, yet it makes me sleepy so I only take it at night. I went to the Ortho doc on Friday. He says no cure for my feet. My arches are too high-more than 10 degree angle higher than normal. No orthotic to help, got injected, now that was fun-not! Ibuprofen has been my friend every 4 hours for a couple days....... Faye; I might have to start liking Yoga for my feet/calves! Dr. says to stretch and ice a couple times a day- no more Zumba for a while, haven't done that since Sept. Wave to Barb, Beth, Dutch and Amy HAGD!
