Merry Christmas Eve Eve!  

I had a busy day today.  Lori  and I took Tonto and Ivan and Chase the dog to the New River Trail. I don't think I have been on a ride in a month and Lori hadn't ridden Tonto since September, so both horses could have been big pills on a chilly day, but they weren't It was a very fun ride. We saw several deer and squirrels, which Chase especially enjoyed, and on the way back we came across a bear's paw lying on the trail. Chase found it, of course. Poor bear didn't have any other parts nearby. I had heard there were bears on the New River Trail, but this was my first 'sighting' of one...or at least part of one. Neither horse seemed to mind having it at their feet. We rode 8 miles. Beautiful sunny day!

Great pictures, Ark.  I'm glad you and Lori got to ride and catch up.  Find the bear paw would certainly be an unusual find on the trail.  Did you contact the Department of Natural Resources to tell them what you found.  Do they keep tabs on the bear population?

MERRY CHRISTMAS, to all my foop friends.

This is a riot...........the little kids of the neighborhood are going house to house caroling (about 8 yrs & under)
and giving out candy.........REALLY cute. They sing with heart and soul, not knowing the words, off key,
and HAPPY. Our neighborhood is alive and well................

That was really heartwarming....................

Merry Christmas Eve!! santa rendeer rendeer rendeer


ELLEN:
No, we didn't call anyone. There is bear hunting in Virginia, but I have no idea when the season is. We didn't have anything to haul the the paw in, although I bet someone would have liked those claws. We were in a state park, but it is a very narrow one, so someone could have shot the bear outside the park and a dog or coyote or something carried the paw to the trail. Sad for the bear.

Hi TUFFWHEELR!

GRAYMARE:
I thought of you this evening. Donnie wanted meatloaf for Christmas dinner (he has been craving meatloaf lately). So this evening I made two of them so we could snack on them later, too. The timer beeped on the oven and I was answering an email, so told Donnie to put the two meatloaves on the stove to cool. Several minutes later I finished the email and got up to check on the meatloaf. Shadow the dog came hurrying into where I was at the computer. I went to the kitchen and found that Donnie didn't put the meatloaves on top of the stove, he just opened the oven door and slid the two dishes close to the edge of the racks. Both meatloaves had a very nice scoop off the top running down the middle of the loaf, a very neat groove about the size of the dog's pointy mouth....Shadow looked very guilty. We felt like our Christmas dinner had been eaten by the Bumpkisses smelly ol' hounds from A Christmas Story. ROFL I sliced off the top of the groove, covered them in tomato sauce and baked them awhile longer. So the dog got his Christmas treat a little early and it was delicious! We had it, too. Drool The food was right at dog nose level, we didn't blame the dog for being tempted.


We went to see "Aquaman" this afternoon. It was a little long, but was better than most of the superhero movies we have seen in recent years. Jason Momoa is easy to look at.... Very Happy

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! We'll be having leftover dogfood for our dinner tomorrow... Wink

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.

Spend the morning delivering beef and venison to Veterans and needy friends, then had coffee, snacks and a nice visit with my two bestest girlfriends.

Went to candle light Christmas Eve service last night.  WOW how beautiful that was.  My friend Barb went along with us.  My favorite church service of the year.  

TUFF:  How nice to see you post.  Come back and post more often.

ARK:  What a fun ride you had except for the bear paw...scary stuff.   what a great snack Shadow had  HAHAHAHA

Have a wonderful and safe Christmas with family and friends. 

Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone..........

Hi Tuff, where have you been? Thank you for the Merry Christmas.

ARK, I'm watching Christmas Story and thinking of you and my "Fra gilly" lamp leg lamp. It's still hysterically
funny. Shadow is a riot. A happy dog, for sure.

I hope everyone has a wonderful special day with family & loved ones.....................

God bless, prayers for ALL.

RICK:
 I watched the video.  What a sweet guy that farmer was!  Pretty darn sharp, too.  It was nice to see Johnny.  



No New Year's plans for us.  We are fuddy-duddies.  We hide at home and watch movies.   I am hoping to ride on New Year's Day to set my yearly intent to ride more.  

Our trailer hauling truck, BART, is living in the barnlot pasture right now.  We used it to haul some shavings down to the barn while the ground was frozen, but the mud melted while we were unloading the truck.  If we drive it out of the field, the ruts in the mud will be terrible.  We can get it out in an emergency, but don't want to deal with the ruts.  At least the horses have nice bedding.... Rolling Eyes

It rained all last night and all day today.  It has finally stopped.   Winter is only a week old, but the Old Farmer's Almanac is correct so far, it is a VERY wet winter.

Donnie got a new t-shirt for Christmas.... santa

I'm baaa-ack. I went to stay with cousins on Monday, and stayed until today. We had a very nice extended Christmas. Some gifts were exchanged on Christmas Day. Some of the relatives couldn't come on Tuesday, so that part was postponed until last night.
There is always a LOT of good food! I did my best to taste most of it. I'd better put in some serious time on the exercise bike.
It looks like most of you had good Christmases too.

Our get together is cancelled. One of the men in church died today unexpectedly. So.
We're organizing meals right now.................That's all I know right now. We didn't know him well as
he wasn't in our small group. Gads, still in shock.

Prayers, for ALL...............

GM sorry about your loss ....we just never know....live for today as life is short and tommorrow is never promised.

Im living and having fun....but you would think with all the advances in medical technology someone could design a leg brace that doesnt slide down and hits you in back of your ankle. Must have been designed by a man.....sigh...sirry guys....but they just arnt use to having thunder thighs and rest of leg normal size....

I am sorry about your friends' friend. How sad at this time of year.

CB:
Is Yoshi wearing a cast? How is he getting around?



We had an entire day without rain. The mud is still there, but diminishing. Donnie trimmed

Happy last day of 2018.  Praying the New Year is a better year for everyone,  2018 has been difficult year for so many people. 

My 83 year old neighbor went to the ER at 10 AM on Thursday, she hurt her knee, I picked her up and brought her home at
1 AM Friday morning. All day and night sitting in the ER.  OMG our health system is a nightmare.

On a good note it was a test of my cataract surgery.  Rain, fog, Christmas lights and me driving at 1 AM.  We both made it home alive.

CB:  Good luck with your knee brace, I found that Tommy Copper compression brace works really well, light weight and supports the knee.  I wear mine a lot since I tweaked my good knee a couple months ago.

GRAYMARE:  How awful to lose someone so suddenly always such a big shock.

ARK:   Love Donnie's shirt.  Very cool.

ELLEN:   Welcome back home.

No parties for us tonight either.  We are just not party animals.  Stay home, eat some snacks, drink some sparkling grape juice in fancy glasses and in bed by 10.  That's how we usher in the new year.  See ya all next year...
