a little r&r

Published Nov 27, 2007

I'm finally taking a day "off" from the house project.  It's not even funny how much one house can fall into disrepair while you work on another.  And here we are at Christmas and it's time to begin decorating.  So, I'm taking the day to get some errands done around "home" today and get ready to decorate. 

I cannot believe how quickly time has flown this year.  It seems like just yesterday that we made our decision to tackle the house project and our original plan was to be in by Christmas.  Obviously THAT didn't happen, but we're doing fine with the time.  We'll be ready as quickly as possible, however, after the first of the year.  I canNOT believe how much my taxes went up.  It's absurd!!!!

I see there was some drama on board while I've been gone!  I hate to see that!  I really enjoy posting here and reading other's posts as well.  I haven't had much time to reply, but I do try to read through as many as I can each day!  When I peek in and see the discourse, I kind of reminds me of Lenny, the llama (the picture attached).  When things are haywire, I look at a picture of him and it makes me laugh.  He is not a handsome creature, but he sure is funny!  He may be joining my herd of horses when we move!  Lenny, along with a donkey, make good pasture mates for horses and help keep coyotes away! 

Well, just wanted to say hello to my old friends, hello to some new friends and hello to those I haven't met yet but hope to meet!  I hope everyone has a great day!  I'm just looking forward to some time here at home to get things done.  It won't be a day "off" but it will be a change of pace and a needed rest from the house construction!

Hello to YOU!!!!!!!!! Been a while!! I still have you know who's picture set on my computer background!!!

that's one ugly quarter horse you got there.

My husband's horse, Thunder, is afraid of Lenny! The rest of the horses either tollerate him or pin their ears at him, but they are not bothered too much by him. Thunder is SUCH a pretty boy. I think his fear is that if he gets spit on, or even if Lenny brushes him in passing, that Thunder will catch a communicable disease that will make him forever look like that! It's quite funny to watch. Thunder's skin literally crawls when Lenny is near and he moves as far aside as possible so that they will not touch. Thunder practically tucks his tail and shimmies away so that they do not make contact.

One year I showed llamas at the State Fair.

Morning, Rocknhorse, long time no see. Take you a day off - if anybody deserves it, it's you. I'm happy that things are going according to plan.

Maybe Santa will bring you some "worker elves."" HAHA!
