Hey RICK.  Do you hear from Larry?  He called here a long time ago reporting HT's death.  Is he still driving?  I never have heard from him or Beannie since.  At that time he was still driving I think.

Its been a long time since I heard from Larry ... I'm guessing quite awhile BEFORE HT passed away. Still driving at that time.

Rick, not required to have a horse, but sometimes required for one to dance naked in the moonlight....for a really good reason of course. I think we would all like to hear what you and snoop are up to!

70 degrees today, I got to be outside to do chores and bburn trash...paper stuff...I would have loved to be out there all day today, but our noses r to the grindstone as appraiser comes tuesday.

That flooring looks good but sure took a lot of time.....wheewwwwww

Ark r u getting this nice weather?

GM, I wonder if uggums would know where larry is, didn't he know him too? course I havnt heard from him since hubby quit going over the road driving.

We got up to 47° today, but are supposed to hit 58° Saturday and Sunday. cheers Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain on Sunday, so the mud goes on....and on and on.... Our arena is still frozen below the surface, so is not draining well as the snow and ice melt. It is such a mess. Then the really terrible weather news is that we may have another snowstorm next Tuesday and Wednesday. No No

We had dinner with Lori, my riding teacher, and her visiting parents. They live in northern Ohio, where they've barely had any snow all winter. Rolling Eyes I haven't had a lesson in a month. Ivan and I are not getting into shape this winter.

RICK
One only has to have an interest in horses, not own horses, to be a member of the forum. Even that is just a guideline, not written in cyber-stone. Very Happy Of course, you could always get yourself a new one! Very Happy

GRAYMARE
It is sad how over crowded some places have gotten. It doesn't pay to be a popular place to live in the long run. Too many people move there until it loses that special reason it became so popular. Blacksburg, VA, was listed as a great place to retire recently. The building going on there is tremendous, and the traffic is getting worse every year. With the university also building and growing, it won't stay a great place to retire for too many years. We live 15 miles from there, but Donnie works there and has to drive thru the traffic everyday.

We haven't seen any pix of your horses lately.....hint, hint....Very Happy

CB, I haven't heard from UGS in years................the last time I heard from him Barbi was very ill and struggling........at that point he never posted that I know of and never answered my e mail which was sev years ago. I talked to him on the phone once when I was in Ft Worth and that was when he told me how ill Barbi was/is..............He was very involved with American Legion and Veterans
benefits etc for guys getting out of the service & helped many.

RICK: There are few of us on the forum that no longer have horses. They are always in our hearts and minds and I enjoy living vicariously thru the friends who still have their horses. I miss my boys every day.

ELLEN: I bet your friend is having a blast with her new Kirby, I love my Kirby, but she is just too heavy for me to drag around and have down sized to the Shark (which I have grown to love), The Shark does a great job, it just takes longer to vacuum since the heads are so much smaller than the Kirby.

ARK: It has grown up a lot around here also. There were 4 houses on our road when we moved here, now there are 11 new houses. Some of the houses have been sold twice cause living in the country was just too hard for the city folks. They wanted street lights, snow service & cable TV. One guy told George he felt like he was living in the wild west out here. HAHAHA

Have a great weekend everyone. I'm off to the ROTC banquet tonight, getting a chance to dress up and hang out with the rich people.

Dressing up for me is wearing a one piece jumpsuit with a blazer and high heeled flipflops! hope you and george had a good time trudy.

We still want to do the other bathroom and small hallway on monday with new flooring. tomorrow we have to clean the middle aisle ofnbarn for 8 bales of hay coming in and do a yard cleanup, sweep the porches....I sure hope the appraisal is good cuz we sure have a lot of sweat equity in this place already. we shall see.

I took leftover scalloped taters, added milk butter and cooked broccoli and cheese to have creamy cheesy brocoli potato soup.....pretty tasty.

Now I have my feet up and jammies on ....need sleeeeeep.

Later taters, sweet dreams.

Yes, ELLEN, great weather.

Hope your weather turns into spring soon ARK & RICK.

Gosh, big fat full moon here. Bright. Really bright. I would assume ELLEN is sitting out reading in the moonbeams.

In RI I found a young cat in the moonlight in my barn so I named her Moonbeam. After I had her spayed, she hated me forever but lived well in the barn.............new homeowners inherited her. I told them she would hate them. She did, but it turned out she loved their dog's barn bed.............I only gave her a thick old Rambo horse blanket for a bed. LOL

Oh ARK...........hope you have good food, books, lots of hay, maybe some TV movies.........AND, maybe some good fudge.

That big full moon was is in a clear starry sky. It's windy, but otherwise nice.
We went to see a movie this afternoon - Hail, Caesar. Not a great movie. A few good laughs but that's about it.

Our moon is still big and bright here............the really full snow moon is tonight.
Here, a misnomer. In my summer mountains a gorgeous sight with stars and diamond snow.

Getting hay today..............

ARK, I will find out today (this afternoon) who swept Scottsdale. I didn't go
Saturday night. It's wild and fun with lots of screamng. LOL, at my age I'm screamed out. I will also find out which horse sold "high" in the stallion breeding auction. It's a great tourist attraction as well as a REALLY nice horse show. It brings millions of dollars literally to the city of Scottsdale.

I'm still doing spring cleaning as well as spring grooming. Reading program this afternoon............my two boys are getting so good. I'm tickled to death.
I'm learning dinosaur footprints............... alien alien alien

Okay, I feel better.  It took three tries, but I managed to get the car out of the mushy driveway and got to have lunch with a friend in Blacksburg.  I haven't driven the car in ages because of snow, ice, or mud.  Lunch out with a horsey friend was just what I needed.  That and  hot, fresh oatmeal cookies.... Drool

Donnie is ordering gravel, but I don't know when they can deliver it.  Those big dumptrucks are not 4WD.  We had one get stuck once in good weather!

We are forecasted to get 1 to 2 inches of rain tonight and all day tomorrow.  I am glad our creek is 15 to 20 feet below our barn' s level.  

We've just about finished the series, "Enterprise".  We've been watching  it for weeks.  There are only two episodes left.....sniff, sniff.... I will miss it.

Other than trying to keep the barn clean and my horses from drowning in the mud, that is about all that is going on here.

Oh ARK............were you the birthday girl today? That makes me feel bad I missed it. I am the WORST at birthdays. As I've gotten older, they mean less and less other than being blessed with another year of good health. I have a friend that starts reminding everyone about 2 weeks early that her birthday is coming. You need to do that next year so we get some sparks and big wishes on the board.

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I hope you had a great day and had a huge cake.

Thanks, CB and GRAYMARE!
I had a nice birthday. Got rained on, of course, and killed my wheelbarrow in the MUD, but did get a big chocolate cake and dinner out! We bought a new wheelbarrow after dinner.

We had a weird weather day. After being in the low 40s and raining all night and most of Wednesday, it suddenly warmed up to 65° and got sunny in the late afternoon....temporarily. Then the wind started howling and the temps went back down 10 degrees or so. There was a tornado in Virginia in the eastern side, so we missed the worst weather.

Got your phone message, RICK!! Thanks for the birthday wishes! Very Happy

We are going to try to get Kazi to Va Tech tomorrow, for the third time in as many weeks. I hope we can get the trailer out of the mushy driveway. No gravel yet....
