Hi, all!
Barb, yeah, consignment stores are not always a good value. Plus they take a huge cut. What about those places that sell replacement pieces? I wonder if they would take your set for a certain $ amount to use as stock? Hope Penny does OK with her cut.
Another incredibly quiet day at work. Did swim yesterday, another quiet day there too (one woman is back from vacation, the other is still out).
Continued to work on the painting. Sent images to my watercolor teacher and we talked for a bit on how to approach certain parts of the painting that were holding me back. Have new insight so hope that will help!
Supposed to get hot again this week...sorry for the Eastern heat, I know it's not fun to ride in hot weather (jeans, chaps, boots...not conducive to comfort in hot weather).
Cathy

hi all - Cathy -the shop actually suggested I look at "replacements" on line -but then i would have the shipping issue -but may still look when I have some time - That's cool that you can send the teacher a photo for advice!
We rode early this morning -just a walk for about an hour -too hot to do anything else -Penny's cut looked much better (yesterday there was a bit of swelling) I hosed it today & sprayed again We are stripping the shed daily due to the drooling -putting only a tiny bit of shavings in -hoping the drools pass soon!
Tomorrow is the "show" at the British Sports Car convention -I have no idea or expectations as to how I will do -putting out a bunch of "older" pieces & Some of my necklaces still left from when I was doing jewelry -all marked down to just move them -if that is all I sell there I would be happy 
The heat is supposed to break tomorrow and next week -hope the same for you ladies as well - Faye posted a photo from her convention -guess she's having a good time!
Waving to all - keep cool -ride if you can -

good morning horse lovers, I have been trying to get Rosie to gain weight, the story of her life! Found out she loves rice bran, I soak the pellets for about 10 minutes and it is fun to watch her slop it up  I haven't ridden her in quite some time. Decided last night that I will start a planned exercise program with her to build muscle-like backing up a hill and long trotting. Anyone else have ideas? She is looking better, yet still looks thin with ribs showing. She is such a picky eater! I also bought some weight builder supplement-which she hates lol She is out on pasture most of the day, all the grass is pretty much gone now till we get some rain. My brother told me to start feeding her alfalfa again, she wastes so much hay - yes, her teeth are OK according the vet. I got my hair colored and cut the other day, dh watched the dgd's for me (the 3 yo was sleeping) it's a little darker than expected and my highlights/lowlights are a little too chunky-I'm getting used to it Faye: saw pictures on fb-looks like your having a great time! Barb; have fun at the car show Amy; how's the project on the stairs going? After the dgd leave, I'm going to get started on my laundry room, painting and shelves. Cathy; do you like it when it's slow at work? glad you got to swim, how did kitty do at the vets? Beth; how is dh doing from his surgery? Your garden must be in full-fruit now, is the new pup still doing well? Dutch; wow, you must be so busy with a four year old! my dgd (4 in December) asks why so much we've made some jokes about it! I ask her why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green? etc.... and then I'm giving her the scientific answers lol, she is a smart one, and will probably surprise her mom when she gets back home lol HAGD/R everyone! |

good morning - Libby -sorry about Rosie & weight -years ago I would supplement my OTTB with Sunshine pellets -don't know if they still make it -or -you could check into Smartpak supplments -they may be a bit more pricey but anytime I have used their supplements (used for Aaron as a senior) they were well worth the money.
Show yesterday was surpisingly great! there were over 200 British sports cars on display & other vendors but most were car related -i only took smaller priced items and boy did they sell -had one of my best shows! Funny side note -as you know Dh usually helps me w/ set ups (tent, tables etc) but for some reason while packing the car Friday he had a "melt down" -saying this is too much like work & he doesn't want to do this -he goes thru this usually once a season -and that is why i am trying to do more shows I can do myself -but not the outdoor ones (the term "easy up" for a tent is an oxymoron!) So anyway I said "fine" I will figure it out -emailed the person in charge who said of course people will help me. So off I went -and there were many to help unload, put up tent etc -and also at take down time -it went very smoothly (i know what to do -just never done it alone) and if the truth be know -it was almost easier & quicker without him -since i had the help! Now I didn't have to put up my sides but for my next show in town which is a 2 day/overnight I will have to put them up so it remains to be seen if he will help with that or I have to hope i can find helpers at the show again. Boy -husbands....can't live with em - can't live without em!
the weather is cooling today -and most of the coming week so if it doesn't rain (!) I should be able to get some rides in -
IT seems like everyone is busy enjoying the summer weather -which is good as it will be gone way too soon - so enjoy the day - ride if you can -

hi
good convention but someone knocked my harp over and it has a ding. very obvious so will need a paint fix up. Spoke to the tech (love her) and the rep from France from the company and will not be perfect but hopefully they can make it better. Person felt really bad and will pay. She's nice. it was an accident; but I was pretty sick over it. Better now.
Barcelona soccer team was at the hotel (they won) Couldn't use the elevators when they were in it and security was tight.
had 2 private lessons. fun socializing. learned stuff. bought stuff.
Just skimmed entries, very tired and doing laundry-
BARB-glad a good show
LIBBY-how is the tooth?
CATHY-nice to get feedback about the watercolor
AMY-how's it going? any show coming up?
DUTCH-hope things are good. How's Ally?
BETH-any more harvesting? did you give away some cukes?
waving to all. really need to sleep. left my phone charger at the hotel too so HOpe they have it.
HAGE
