Good morning BETH-glad they like the Barn hunt embroidery. it's really nice. I'll try to see if I can find dressage here. thanks for the info. AMY-glad you had fun with DDs at the beach DUTCH-glad you got to ride. Hope DS had fun. BARB-hope you and DH enjoyed the beach LIBBY-did you have a good weekend? CATHY-did you swim? how is the cat?
so not sure I will sell the other harp. it's really a good harp and lightweight and went up a lot in price since I've had it. So may be rethinking it. Friend coming today to do duets.
waving to all. HAGD

Something is going on with my computer. It took a long time to even get to this page. When I do decide to get another computer I think I want an Apple product. I feel like I am always battling some kind of malware etc. with this P.C. I have not seen Rueben since last Wednesday so I will be out to the barn after work today. Can't wait, but it depends on the weather if I ride.

Morning- Beth - enjoy your walk - I showed the barn hunt thing to my friend - she said she might be interested - will keep you posted. Faye -if you don't sell the harp, do you have to use them regularly to keep them from going off tune? Or would you re-tune them every time you use them anyway? Amy -sorry you are having computer issues -we only have PC/andriods but at some time may have to at least go to apple if only to face time when there are grands(!) I know that DDIL has been facetiming w/ her mother (who is very clingy anyway) since they have been in Thailand -we have gotten a few texts & emails from DS but boys are different! Hope you get to ride Ruben
Beach was lovely yesterday -the water was warm enough (for NH) for me to get in to my bathing suit but not stay in -we sit under umbrellas most of the time (one you are cut for skin cancer you are careful!) Now it's daily packing/organizing for this coming weekend 2 day show -we can set up the tent & tables on Friday night then all i have to do on saturday is set up display/glass etc. DH will help me put up tent, and in morning & evening close up the sides etc, but not stay the day -this one is right in town so works well.
Off to the barn -my farrier is coming tomorrow -she asked me if her mother could come & hold our horses as her mother will be her "handler" for her next certification and she wanted her to practice on horses she knows won't kill her! haha - Tomorrow AM - DH said he would go help me do shavings (dee is away)as we want to stockpile while we can. Waving to all - HAGD -ride if you can

Exercising-fitbit steps diet-carb counting DGD went home yesterday after 12 days of snuggles and fun! She will be 9 yo tomorrow and such a sweet girl! Now I'm going to get back into my exercise routine. Had tragic news yesterday, my ds's ex-girlfriend, whom he is still in love with and is the mother of his just 3 yo son died yesterday morning. She had moved from Alaska to Tennessee about 6 months ago when they broke up. She lived with her mother, who is in shock and will be taking care of our dgs until things get figured out. Unfortunately, I didn't have the warmest relationship with her, God bless her soul. No ones talking, I believe it was drug/alcohol related. I HATE addiction!! Beth; Is it still really hot there? We are getting our annual 3 weeks of over 80 degrees now, lol Faye; I wouldn't sell the harp it I didn't want to or need to! Barb; the beach sounds wonderful! Are these the shavings you get for free? Nice that dh will help w/set up the display. Amy; hope you get to ride! Wave to Cathy and all horse lovers to follow! Off to the prison today to see a new mom, then signing the contract to sell the home in Eatonville!

LIBBY-what a sad story. so sorry. hope DS is taking it ok and hope all works out with DGS. Have a good day at the prison. BARB-you need to keep the harps in tune-there is "STring memory" so you want to keep it in tune. So if I don't play for a while I do tune the unplayed harps at least once a week. same with my pedal harp. I don't really play that much but keep it tuned. good luck with getting ready for the show. hope the "apprentice handler" does well. Glad you enjoyed the beach. AMY-well, if you never had an Apple be advised it doesn't speak PC and it's NOT intuitive. try one. I have both and the Mac is nice but I still have no idea how to do lots of stuff. it's not straightforward. so try it first. BETH-hope yo enjoyed the walk. Hope DH's school run is going well
waving to all. HAGD

Dutch-did DS ride by himself with you standing next to him or was he in the saddle with you? He was up by himself... dressage saddle with a "bucking" strap up front. He was so relaxed, I had to keep reminding him to hold on! lol Little bugger!

Hi, all! Faye, sorry you couldn't see the harp. Have you ever thought of teaching? I see how having multiple harps would fit that scenario Glad you had fun with DD! Barb, good luck with the farriers mom helping out. Penny's good now about the feet thing, right (not that the mom would have to lift feet)? Sound like it's a HUGE show this weekend if you're starting the packing on Monday! Beth, a barn hunt. So how do the dogs know which mouse to go after? I mean, our barn never had just one mouse Cool avatar though! Libby, you must be tired having a 9yo around that long. But she's probably more independent now, right? Such a sad story about DS's ex-girlfriend. Sounds like you're right...OD or something of that ilk. Dutch, ah, now I get it. You did have horses before. Yeah, stuff for 17h doesn't always work well for smaller horses Amy, so glad you had a good time at the beach this weekend. Sounds lovely. I rode my bike along the cliffs yesterday but was overcast...until I left! Thursday/Friday last week were awful. Just worked all day, never got a break so no exercise. Walked and rode bike this weekend and actually FINALLY lost some weight. I've been doing my positive-thinking meditation so maybe working? Fridge is not working...keeps getting warm. Just spent $200 on insulin so worried about that. Will call today to have a repairman come out and take a look. Eye exam this afternoon. Cathy

WOW! The freestyle dressage was fabulous! The best I can figure out from my Directv guide is the horse event will be on NBC channel in the 10:30am to 12noon CST slot. Probably another 15 minute segment.
Faye-it seems harps are like horses. You just can't have one lol.
Libby-that is such sad news for DS. I hope things work out for the best for DGS.
Barb-hope your 2 day show turns out well and you sell a lot. I hope the new 'assistant' does well.
Dutch- love the new avatar. Glad he enjoyed his ride.
Cathy-bummer about the refrigerator. Hope you get it repaired soon. Sorry about work being awful.
Amy-I know nothing about Macs but I understand the frustration of computer issues.

charmedharpsorry about last week but CONGRATS of the WL! I thought of teaching and took a whole day seminar at Somerset this year and decided it's not for me. Need different insurance etc etc. BUT friends do come over and do duets so nice having an extra harp for that too You need special insurance to teach harp? Or just doing a business in your home.

I kind of wish I could have my own business. Beth has her embroidery and Barb has her glass art. I don't produce anything to sell. I keep rolling this idea around in my head but I have not really come up with anything. I posted a photo of me standing in the surf. I did not know my DD1 took it. I look like an older woman now for sure with my swimsuit skirt and floppy hat but I like the photo anyway because I remember how relaxed I felt and it was a great feeling.
I hope you all are having a great day.
Amy

Busy board! Yea! glad this is picking up steam! Cathy -stinks about refrig -hope you can get it fixed/replaced quickly -can you put the insulin on ice? Amy -I did see the FB photo -you did look relaxed! Libby - so sorry about DS/DGD - hope this all works out so that you can still see her -Faye - interesting about the harps - who knew? LOL - I taped the dressage today so will watch it later today -Did a quick ride -bugs were not bad -the shavings are almost free -we bag them ourselves -any size bag you can get -we get the BIG industrial bags (don't know the gallon size but they stand about 3+' tall?) Usually the lumber yard charges$2 a bag or $15 a truck load -but he & BM are good friends so if we do Dee's truck & get about 20 bags we give him $10 =when I do my car (8-9 bags) ususally $6 - so we can't complain. Last year we stockpiles 65 bags & just used up the last one. We have already done one truck load of 18 -so if DH & I get 8-9 tomorrow then when Dee gets back we do 2 more truck loads we should be set for winter.
