Morning all - Hope all who are ill feel better soon!
Faye- shows the next 2 Saturdays & then a possible one at a temple on 12/19= the one that usually does a craft show is not this year but i was invited to be at the brotherhood's hanukkah party -just me & their judaica shop! Then I'm done! Nice that your neighbors come to hear you play/practice! My tooth bothers me on & off -i have a cleaning apt on Wed so will see -like you will try to hold off as long as i can.
The horses (Penny & Skip) were both feeling their oats yesterday - both got lunged before we rode -just to be safe! they were both good after that!
DH & I heading to Harbor Freight -he needs to buy a "tool" for $80 so he can save money fixing his riding lawn mower!

Good morning. I can at least breathe now. Still coughing and some congestion. DH is much better. He goes tomorrow for his eye consult and tests. No news here as I have not been out of the house since TG.
Dutch-glad your TG was okay and you have your Christmas shopping done.
Faye-have fun harping with the neighbors.
Barb-yeah those $80 tools really make for a cheap repair lol.

Barb; having the right tool makes all the difference. Beth; the plot thickened with dh's ex-wife and her death. Hard to write about, she was shot point blank by her youngest son. He claims it was self defense and claims she abused him. Our boys are beyond devastated as you can imagine. We have canceled our Hawaii trip. Dh may be headed to Alaska to support the boys. It doesn't seem real to any of us yet. Glad you and dh are getting better! Faye; I'm feeling a lot better. I did go to the doctor early on this respiratory infection and called a few days ago. My energy is back up! Good thing as I need to pack up my kitchen today and tomorrow! Dutch; glad you had a wonderful txg! Cathy; We may leave to AZ sooner than expected now. Will be driving thru CA on the way to Uma, to visit friends for New Years  How far off the main freeways do you live? Hug all your fur babies! |

Our boys are beyond devastated as you can imagine. This is terrible. I can't even imagine what the boys are going through. Dh may be headed to Alaska to support the boys I think that is great for him to do. |

Hi, all...I need to go back and see what everyone was up to over the holiday Out of the 4 days, I had to drive 3 of them "over the hill" so not much of a holiday. Got to see niece but she was busy with other stuff so no movies. Saturday, the ONLY day I had to myself, it rained but went for a hike anyway. Was my only exercise for the weekend  Yesterday went to the old barn I used to ride at. The guy who owned it died this year so his girlfriend is living there via a trust he set up. Saw my "best friend" from 10 years ago. She hasn't changed much. Faye, have fun with the test harp show! I don't really have a new teacher; we may try Skyping but will see. She has moved out of her studio so I will be going to her friends house for the next couple of weeks to take lessons. Farther to drive Beth, sorry you both got so sick...sounds like you've been recuperating most of the holiday, and that's no fun. Barb, wow...you are going to be busy this month with shows. Hope they all go well. Did Penny get her borium shoes? Libby...sigh. So sad that you had to cancel your trip to Hawaii. Hi to Dutch and Amy! This is my busy Monday so don't know if I'll get my swim in today. So...yeah, back to work! Cathy |

BARB-sounds like a good amount of shows, hope they go well. the stuff you've been posting is lovely.
how's the water and the heater for the horses?
ALLISON-hope all is well
AMY-nice photos of your holiday table. any riding? any shows? I thought you might have been doing one for some reason. Do you do eventing too?
DUTCH-glad Ally is doing well. I know the papers went in, is her name all official now?

Good morning.Tuesday morning.
Last night the storm came through. We had a few small limbs fall but that was it. No damage. We're expecting more rain tonight. Our drought has finally broken.
I'm feeling much better. I didn't have to take any med last night and slept fairly well considering the storm. DH is feeling much better too. He goes for his consult to the retinal specialist to check for glaucoma.
Libby-how are thing on the home front?
Cathy-glad you had a nice visit at the old barn.
Faye-how was the practice?
Barb-did you get to ride?

Good morning - Beth - glad you are safe & you & DH feeling better -your storm is heading our way -not as bad just rain for the next 2-3 days -but warm -50's in the day - low 40's at night - always a quandary about sheet for Penny (to keep her dry) when it's that warm days!) We did have a lovely ride yesterday -probably our last for a few days! It has started to icy rain -will wait a while to go clean & do lunch!
Faye-do you have an event coming up -I know there were a few holiday ones -do you ever do any at a shul? Libby -how are things going -so sad.
so waving to the gang -keep warm/dry- ride if you can - HAGD - CBL

BETH-glad you got rain. we are getting some too and it's much needed. Good luck to DH at the consult. Practice went well, they liked the tunes and I just want to get 2 of them a bit faster. They'll come back in a week and I'll run thru it straight as if performing it.
BARB-show is Dec 11 and then about 1 show every other day for 2 weeks! total of 5. (one is background so low stress but more playing so harder on the back)
glad you rode.
quiet day, raining and will practice and do laundry. already had my workout which was good.
didn't do any Black Friday stuff but signed up for my July harp confernece on Cyber Monday for a discount. also ordered some slippers and a gelpro mat for the kitchen. I like free shipping.
anyone else do Cyber Monday?
waving to all HAGD

Hi everyone!
So glad my 18 lb kitty is sleeping in his heated dog/cat house! He quit using it after the summer. I put a cardboard scratch pad in it with catnip and now he is using it again! He comes in the house for hours at a time. He ruined my ds's floor/carpet/under planks and dh had to replace them 2x, couldn't get him to quit urinating in that spot! So, he got kicked out of the house! Poor guy, dh won't let him in the house anymore. DD and I sneak him in all the time lol!
It's going to be dry today so I'm going to carve out a time to ride. Thinking a lot lately about trying to ride Rosie w/o a bridle. I think I'll set up a round pen and she how it goes. Any of you ever done that? Wave to all, HAGR!

Hi, all! Faye, faster is harder for me. I am getting louder though so teacher is happy. I know...I was hoping there was going to be someone else to use as well. I guess we'll see how Skype goes. I kick myself that I didn't start lessons as soon as I moved into the area Beth, glad the storm wasn't too bad and that you're feeling better as well as DH. As well as eye issues, is he the DH with tooth issues? Libby...wow...18 lb. You're cat is almost 3x larger than mine (around 7 lbs). So is he just incontinent or is it a behavioral thing? Barb, didn't you just have some light snow as well? Or was that just ice in the water trough for the horses? Crazy weather...all around! I read somewhere that loosing weight is based more of food than on exercise, which makes total sense. I love being outdoors and such but just am eating too much, probably boredom. Have to figure out how to resolve that. Hope to swim today...she says Cathy |

CATHY-i'm with you on the boredom and eating thing. and Yes, I read the same thing, it's really all the eating and not so much the excercising for losing weight.
where again are you? is there a concert hall that might have a harpist that might give lessons? I just feel California should have more but maybe not your area.
did you look on the AHS website for a local chapter? that's your best bet. OH and Sylvia woods website has a free teacher section so maybe you can find someone there.
I just signed up for Somerset, new hotel but still nearby. We see in Jan what the workshops are but I've gone all the time and I always take a harp to get regulated and I like private lessons etc etc.
did you get to swim? how's the cat doing??
did you ever got to the Sante Fe film festival? my friend's son is having something being shown there!
LIBBY-so nothing to hold onto? just mane to grab? any reason you want to try it? Only thing I've ever seen like that is the archers in I think Japan that ride and shot at targets. specially trained horses I think from Wales.
BETH-hope all went well with DH and the eye Dr. how are your knees in this weather?
well, fingers crossed but I think my new insurance will cover the center I've been going to for MRIs and mammos. We'll see what happens in Jan, I'm due the beginning of the month. But this could be really good news to me.
Waving to all. Very rainy here.

Back from the Dr.DH's regular eye dr wanted the specialist to check for Macular Degeneration because DH had his macular areain one eye a little thicker than the other. All tests came out fine. As to his tooth he sees the dentist 12-6.

Hi horse lovers,
I had so much fun riding Rosie yesterday! I didn't have anyone around to help me set up a round pen, my elbow is still hurting (since Sept!) so, didn't want to push it. I saddled her up and left the halter and lead rope on for safety. Let the lead rope drop on her neck and took another soft rope and put it around her neck like reins and off we went! She did great. Cantering was a little scary due to the wet arena, so we mainly trotted and walked. I feel almost like Stacey Westfield! lol - Love this horse, I think I've ridden her 1x since I've had the resp. inf. (4 weeks now) and didn't lunge her or anything! All the years of lessons and riding have paid off! What a mood booster, with everything ugly that has happened lately! I'm going to the prison child care this morning to do safety/wellness monitoring and then lunch with an ex-coworker/friend. HAGD everyone!!
Barb; stay warm with the snow! We actually have it forecasted next week

Hi, all! Faye, I saw that the conference was in a new hotel...that should be fun. I'm near the coast so it's kind of a small area but yeah, I expected more options for lessons. Maybe she doesn't want me going down the "wrong road" or different than how she teachers. Don't know...will ahve to look around again I hope your insurance works out OK; we get new insurance next year as well. I swear it changes every year! Beth, glad the eye doc went OK. So your DH has a few days off and then on to the dentist...nice. Barb, glad y'all out there are getting some rain. Those dry spells are tough! Someone said we weren't supposed to have rain for a week but it's looking a bit dicey outside. Libby, sorry about the barf...I know what that's like. Have a good day at prison! I did get in a swim. The weather was clear but cold and windy so the pool was warmer...very nice. Today is probably a run to Costco...which I hate more than the market Cathy |

Hi all- Libby -that sound is better than an alarm clock! No snow -just cold rain -And impressed with your ride -you go girl!
Beth - glad you & DH are on the mend - of sorts - Faye - hope your lesson went well -
Dentist apt this morning - the tooth that was bothering me has settled down -so guess we will wait and see when it flares up again. Then went and stripped the shed -I can't remember when it was THAT bad -took 2 FULL wheelbarrel loads out and fresh new shavings in . The thing that bothers me is that I put up my strips a few weeks ago -they do help keeping temps & wind/rain (snow) out -but Dee has yet to put hers up - (says -it's going to get colder first?) but what happens is that both horses wind up in Penny's side & it gets really nasty -I've hinted I would help her put them up (DH helped me put mine up) but she's not in a rush.....hmmmmm (ok - rant over)
Sorting out stuff for this weekend's show -DH is out bowling so this is my "alone" time -Waving to the gang - HAGD - CBL

BARB-pity about the shed and Dee not taking the hint. glad your tooth is better. enjoy your "alone" time while DH bowls.
CATHY-glad you could swim. are the goggles doing better since the antifog spray thing? Very surprised your teacher couldn't suggest another unless there really is no one nearby.
how is staining the cabinets going? are you done?
LIBBY-sounds like a great ride on Rosie. she sounds terrific. sorry about the doggie. Have a good day at prison. is DH going to Alaska? how are your sons doing?
DUTCH-are you still looking for a horse to ride now?
ALLISON- are you done with all the decorating?
AMY-how's Lukas? hope you enjoyed the holidays
nice harp lesson. very foggy here. and rain. So I returned an expired cheese to the market and came home with Strawberries and opened them and they had a fur coat on. May be winter, but strawberries don't look good in fur coats.! they were very nice and said throw it out and just come with the receipt whenever convenient. doesn't happen often thank goodness.
waving to all. HAGD

Good afternoon. Had some scary weather last night but nothing bad where I live. Went to Bible study this morning. Now I'm going to do half of my monthly grocery shopping and finish the other half tomorrow.

LIBBY-how was prison? how is your dog. was it the service dog? Does Lucy get jealous when you ride Rosie?
BETH-happy shopping, I hate grocery shopping. I have my Kabbalah class tomorrow. hope you enjoyed Bible study.
CATHY-hope you got to swim. are cabinets done?
BARB-I do play at some Temples but for the Senior clubs because I'm on a certain performer list and so a fund pays for it. they are entitled to a few performances a year. I've done a few in the area over the years. some as far as 40 min away. They usually meet once a month for lunch and some kind of performance. I did one earlier this year.
Have a good evening everyone

How far off the main freeways do you live?
Yesterday went to the old barn I used to ride at. The guy who owned it died this year so his girlfriend is living there via a trust he set up. Saw my "best friend" from 10 years ago. She hasn't changed much.
