Be Afraid


So life lesson learned........do not leave your camera in your car and then tell your son who is borrowing your ride that you left the camera in the car. You never know what will show up in the camera's memory. I think this is a picture of Sam showing us his best "I am applying to Grad School" face. Either that or he is impersonating a gopher picking his nose; or is that thumbing his nose at Laurits the fearless Gopher hunter.
Well at least the camera came back with one picture worth keeping. He took a picture of my sweet grand-dog Gigi. Isn't she cute?

Fancy Enuff Bigtime AKA "Frosty"


A few weeks ago I got a new show horse. I had been keeping my eyes open for a horse that would be safe for me to ride and show and happened upon Frosty right in our backyard. He is very fun and I am excited to own him and show him in the next show season. Here are some pictures of him being shown with his former owner Noel Nelson. She has won several world titles with him over the last two years.

The first night that I went to see him I had a pretty decent ride. I think this is the first horse that I have ridden that I felt successful on the first ride. Here is video proof of that night.
Frosty and Babs' first ride

Big and Little

Okay sorry for the long hiatus. It has been crazy busy or maybe I have just been plain lazy but I will get back with the program. I blogged earlier about the Now and Then with the cousins getting together after eleven years. Well during that visit we got a chance to poke some fun at my son-in-law that was born at 6'4" and my nephew that hasn't reached his growth potential yet. The two struck up a bond and we thought a picture of the two together would be fun......so here it is.

Okay so if Willie stood on the hearth they got a bit closer to seeing eye to eye.
