Yippee! Blogger is Fixed!

Thank goodness they finally fixed Blogger!  I haven't been able to log in for a week.  Anyway it's all good now.

I had a great time yesterday and part of today.  My good friend Vaquerogirl came and spent the night.  We had a shopping day at, where else, Tractor Supply.  Then we went for Mexican food.

It just can't get better than that.

This morning we shopped for horses on Dreamhorse.com. 

After we decided we were too broke for the horses we liked, we went down to the barn and rode Annie and William.  William came home from the trainers with a mystery lameness that went away pretty quick on its own.  Then the EHV-1 broke out so he ended up staying home.  I think he can go back in a week.

Anyway here he is loping some circles

I think he is going to be a good show pony!

So, all in all it was a good time except for the craptastic weather.

As I write this, its raining.... again....  At least I am not at a horse show.

Here is his first day trying trail obstacles.  He was pretty good!

 

So, even with the weather it was a fun couple of day thanks to my buddy Vaquerogirl!

I'm not sure what we have done to anger the weather gods, but we just may have to find a virgin to sacrafice!

Blogger Trouble?

I have had a heck of a time trying to get to my blog dashboard.  Something is amiss at the Blogger headquarters.
Finally I used Google Chrome and was access my account.  From what I read, LOTS of folks are locked out of their accounts and they can't even comment on other blogs.  I hope they get this figured out soon.

Outhouse Update

My favorite handyman/husband has made huge progress on the "outhouse".

He got out the trusty sprayer and applied the rustic brown stain.  He worked last week putting all the batts and trim up.

After he gets the cedar shakes on the roof the next step is to put in the septic tank and leach lines.  And, that means bringing in the backhoe again.  No telling just how much of a mess will be left when he is done.

I'll keep ya posted!  

Baby Storys.

Lucy and the new baby!

Got milk?

Horse Show Photos

Thanks California Cowgirl!  If it wasn't for her there would be no other photos than the final win photo.

She has one of those handy Droid phones.

It was my birthday, and no birthday is complete without a hat!

Thanks girls, this one was way cool!

Nice!

On this day, he was calm and cool, until the mule came by!

Whew, I need a nap.

And, the buckle!

With all the bad weather, he earned this buckle!

Horse Show Results

What an experience!  It rained, wind blew, it was cold, and I'm not sure but I think women were screaming and some babies were crying.  Oh, no... that was me.  Well, anyway California Cowgirl, Lil Mama and I survived Gold N Grand 2011.  And, The GJA won a new shiney buckle!!  How cool is that!  Lil Mama and Bob came home with a new buckle as well.  C. Cowgirls pony Desi was naughty.  No buckle.  I didn't get any pictures during the show, but I am sure some will surface from others in a few days.

Yep, feeling pretty good about The GJA today.  Top 5 in Hunter Under Saddle Open.

Now, Penny Pinscher and I are going to put up our feet and relax!

Holy Rising Creek Batman!

Well, here we are.  Stuck most of the day in a stall with the wind blowing hurricane force and dumping rain.  Oh, and it was freezing cold.

Did I mention raining?

The creek overflowed into the RV campground.  Not looking good.

To the front of this trailer is the road, or where is was.  Just past that is the creek that  apparently was too full.  These folks were going to be surprised when they get back from the barn.

I bet they did not get the memo about the required dingy to return home.

Floating garbage cans and jump standards were floating around.

Hmmmm.  And why are California Cowgirl, Lil Mama and I here?

Because well behaved women rarely make history...
