We Moved!

2010-05-07T21:11:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it it is May!

"ALL That Jazz" has moved already!

We had a chance to go downstairs.

So we did!

We are really excited about the move!

We increased our space size, and filled it up quick.

We love our little rug we bought.

We have a little closet off of our space .

We spent three hours putting this wall together!

My Niece Sares and I found these cute little, old shutters!

A gentleman wanted to buy them, but we weren't ready to sell them yet.

I asked our shop owner what she thought we could get for them,

if and when we decided to let them go. She gave us an idea on a price.

We went to lunch a few minutes later.

The shop owners husband came into the cafe and told us he had good news

and he had bad news.

The good news was, we made a sale, and the bad news was, it was the shutters!

We thought he was giving us a bad time!

We went back to our space, and guess what? The shutters were gone.

SOLD.

I was distraught! Upset! I coveted them.

Our shop owner sold them to another vendor in the shop.

Unbelievable.

We were speechless, as we didn't have a tag on them, and hadn't decided

to sell them yet.

She called the gal, and she returned them to us, with first option

to buy them when we decided to give them up.

I really do LOVE them, and I would love to purchase them , myself.

Things are selling!

We can pay the rent next month!

Next weekend we are going to do some changes for Spring!

I think it will be really fun, and I can't wait to show you!

I am a big DREAMER!

My daily devotional today.

The stars exist that we might know how high our Dreams can soar!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Random Thoughts

2010-04-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

"All That Jazz" is moving!!!

A space has become available for us to move downstairs.

We are excited to be where all the traffic is.

We have had a first great month.

I mentioned I was overwhelmed.

My work schedule is different eveyweek.

I just try to go with the flow,

but sometimes it just gets the best of me.

Life always has it's ups and downs.

I've been having some issues with constant muscle aches

for awhile now.

Went in for a physical last week.

Just a few minor things.

Lacking Vitimin D and my cholesterol needs to be lowered.

Tested negative for Rheumatoid factor.

Most likely Fibromyalgia.

Started medication a week ago.

Hoping it will do the trick!!!

I will rise above the storm!

I feel very lucky, it could be worse.

Hoof beats in my heart!

How can this sweet boy be such a stinker at times.

Yesterday we started our "getting in shape program."

He didn't think he needed to be on the lunge line.

Cowboy thinks he forgot.

NO! NO! NO!

He did not forget.

He remembered real fast!

It was also time to worm him.

Now that was a challenge.

But we got through it.

Doc noticed he has "scratches" on two of his legs.

His turnout has been pretty wet and muddy.

It should be getting better now since the

weather is getting nicer.

I researched it tonight, and it is common to get it

on white leg markings.

Guess what?

It's on both of his legs with white socks.

So we cleaned and treated it.

This is the first time he has had it.

Rise above the storm and you will find Sunshine!

I am blessed!

Have a great weekend!

They charm you with their subtle "style,"

they walk tall across the dusty road, they ride beautiful horses.

They chase, they hunt, they are greedy or they are givers.

They have high self esteem or they are wicked creatures.

They are rough, they are tough, they are ready and they

will kill swiftly if they have to.

They played wild west outlaws, notorious gunfighters,

town marshals, bounty hunters or old west farmers.

Western movie actors carried a heroic attitude.

I love them all!!!

Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed,

He turned over slowly and then he said,

"I wonder if spring is on the way,

I'll go and check the weather today.

If I see my shadow between eleven and noon,

I then will know that I'm out too soon.

I'll crawl back in bed for six weeks more,

Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore.

But if no shadow gives me a scare,

I know that spring in in the air.

I'll wake my friends and wish them cheer,

With glorious news that spring is here!"

It is good to have an end to journey towards,

but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Horse Show

2010-01-28T00:00:00.000-08:00

My sister, A Cowgirls Grace and I were going to ride

on Saturday, but decided to go to a horse show.

We had 5 gals from our stable showing. Sometimes we

get in a rut. Do the same thing over and over and over.

Change is good.

We really enjoyed ourselves.

The girls did awesome!

I thought I'd share this with you.

I know a lot of you have mixed feelings about this

kind of performance.

I found it interesting.

But wonder about the future health of these horses.

Peek A Boo Tuesday

2010-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Peek A Boo Tuesday

Hosted by

"A Cowgirl's Grace"

You all know that the thing I LOVE to do the most

is spend time with my copper pony.

He is my PASSION. I would move to the barn and

share his stall if I could!!!

Before Dusty came into my life I had another passion.

Enter my door and see my past addiction!

BEACHCOMBING!!!

Yes, I was a beachcombing addict.

Sunset at the beach where we lived .

I would spend hours, and hours and HOURS looking for treasures.

Rosie was my constant beach companion.

In fact, Cowboy was addicted too, and all of our friends.

Cowgirls Grace and I would pack a lunch and

spend 4 to 5 hours out there.

Sometimes we would spot the same agate shining

down the beach and run for it!!!

WE would race to see who would get out there first in the morning.

We would have to brag about our finds for the day.

Who had the biggest!

Who had the prettiest!

How many!

Sometimes you would come upon treasures like these

and be in heaven.

Other times you would see them poking out of the sand and

you would have to dig them up.

I have not been beachcombing for 2 years.

I have been thinking about it a lot lately.

It is best to go out right after it has been really stormy.

Love seeing the wildlife.

Seagulls, blue heron, seals

Agates and petrified wood
bright sunlight usually helps by reflecting glint or gleams

buoys

sea glass~prized gems

smooth, frosty, opaque

tossed, weathered

smashed many, many times into the ocean floor

polished by waves and sand

glass floats

I can feel the excitement just looking at this!

digging to see what I can find

I never could get enough!

I would tell myself just one more when I found something.

One more would always be five, or ten or twenty more!

I could not stop!

I was ADDICTED!

I have had my treasures packed away.

I think it is time to bring them out to show you soon!

Dusty Rocks

2010-01-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

It's here!

I am so excited!

Doc helped me set things up today. Dusty was all over him.

He was so funny.

I thought he was just really happy to see

him and wanted some lovin'! Doc is trying' to quit smoking.

He had some non-tabacco mint flavored snoose in his mouth

and that was what Dusty was smelling.

He wanted some.

The copper pony would not leave him alone!

Dusty moved around so much, my pictures are blurry!

Doc finally gave Dusty some "snoose" to try!

He loved it! I will have to get him some

peppermint treats.

This is my favorite picture.

Again he's moving his head all over the place.

Dusty was so good during all of this.

Thank you Doc for all your help, and for

your PATIENCE with my boy for bugging the heck out of you!

I love this color on Dusty.

I'm hoping to get the matching breast color and headstall soon.

Here we are. All dressed up.

The copper pony has not been ridden in two months.

He was a bit bored with the arena today.

It is not his favorite thing to do.

He thought he needed to go left when I wanted to go right!

It felt good to be back in the saddle again.

Now we just need to get out and ride those trails!!!

He has a mind of his own.

A horse gallops with his lungs,

Preservers with his heart,

And wins with his character.

Peek A Boo Tuesdays "Showtime"

2010-01-18T23:40:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Peek A Boo Tuesday hosted

by "A Cowgirls Grace"

Today I am sharing a few of my favorite movies!

Grab some popcorn, a box of tissues, find a seat, and enjoy!

It's SHOWTIME!!!

1990

Lt John Dunbar is dubbed a hero after he accidentally

leads union troops to a victory during the Civil War.

He requests a position on the western frontier,

but finds it deserted. He soon finds out he is not alone.

Dunbar quickly makes friends with the tribe and

discovers a white woman who was raised by Indians.

He meets a wolf he dubs "Two Socks."

He eventually is accepted into the local Sioux tribe

and is known as "Dances With Wolves."

He is enanoured by the beautiful "Stands With A Fist."

Soon after, the frontier becomes no more,

and as the army advances on the plains,

John must make a decision that will not only affect him,

but also the lives of the natives

he now calls His people.

1996

The moving story of a Hungarian mapmaker and

his dying memories of the romance that

tragically alters his life.

Burned horribly in a fiery plane crash while seeking

answers for a crime from his past.

1998

An Angel must decide if love is more important

than eternal peace.

Seth is an Angel who hovers over the

city of Los Angles, listening to peoples thoughts,

observing their lives, and guiding them to the next

world as they die.

While at a hospital, Seth sees Maggie, a dedicated heart surgeon

who attempts to save the life of a patient Seth

was to call upon.

He finds himself falling in love with her, and decides

to make himself visible so he can communicate with her.

1998

Its a cold winter night.

Grace and her best friend Judith go for a ride with their horses,

but a terrible accident changes her life forever.

A truck hits them.

Judith and her horse are killed,

while Grace and her horse Pilgrim are seriously injured,

both physically and mentally.

In an attempt to bring Pilgrim back from his now savage condition,

Grace's mother Annie takes them to Montana in search

for Tom Booker.

Tom is a "horse whisperer", a cowboy

with the ability to "communicate" with horses.

The cowboy slowly heals the Souls of Pilgrim and Grace.

1933

When a nasty neighbor tries to take Dorothy's dog Toto

away from her, she decides to run away.

A cyclone appears and carries her to the

magical land of oz.

Wishing to return, she begins to travel to the Emerald City.

Here she makes some memorable friends and foes

in her journey to meet the

"Wizard of Oz."

On her way she meets a scarecrow who needs a brain,

the tin man who wants a heart,

and a cowardly lion who desperately needs courage.

They were helped along the way by the Good Witch of the North,

but she's also in trouble with the Wicked Witch of the West,

who seeks revenge for the death of her Sister,

The Wicked Witch of the East,

which she blames Dorothy.

1939

The epic tale of a woman's life during one of the most

tumultuous periods in America's history.

From her young, innocent day on a beautiful plantation

her beloved "TARA"

to the war-torn streets of Atlanta.

"Scarlett O'Hara"

From her first love whom she always desired

to her three husbands;

from the utmost luxury to absolute starvation

and poverty;

from her innocence to her understanding

and comprehension of life.

1940

A shy lady's companion, staying in Monte Carlo

with her stuffy employer, meets

the wealthy Maxim De Winter.

She and Max fall in love, marry and return to

"Manderlay", his country estate in Corn-well.

Max is still troubled by the death of his first wife,

Rebecca, in a boating accident the year before.

The second Mrs. De Winter clashes with the housekeeper,

Mrs. Danvers, and discovers Rebecca still has a strange

hold on everyone at "Manderlay."

2001

The year is 1899, and Christian,

a young English, has come to Paris to follow

the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's

drug and prostitute infested underworld.

And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more

alive that at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where

the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by

the dancers, but they take a wicked turn for

Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with

the star contessa of the club, Satine.

But her affections are also coveted by the club's patron,

The Duke.

A dangerous love triangle ensures as Satine and Christian

attempt to fight all odds to stay together,

but a force that not love can conquer is

taking it's toll on Satine.

I LOVE these movies.

I have all of them.

I aso love old black and white movies!

Hope you enjoyed the show!

Winter Sunset

2010-01-15T21:30:00.000-08:00

Today it rained most of the day.

Tonight we had the most beautiful sunset!

Cowboy and I went to the stable to let

Dusty free play in the arena today.

He was DRENCHED!

I took his blanket off of him and he

rolled and rolled and ROLLED!!!

He turned into a mud pie!

He was a mess.

I had to wet a towel and clean him up.

When I first got him, I could not touch his face.

He really hated me to use a towel.

Today he was a really good boy.

I think he even liked it!!!

I look like I am scolding him, but I' not!!!

My copper pony is such a serious guy most of the time.

I want so much for him to just enjoy himself.

I learned something today.

He is a different horse when he is not in the

cross ties while being groomed.

This is the second time I have

groomed him in the arena this week.

He stood still.

His showed his personality!

He wasn't tense, with his head held high.

He was relaxed.

He wasn't afraid of what was going on.

I am lovin' what I saw today.

I want him to have fun.

I want him to be playful

Not take life so serious.

I want him to enjoy the time we have together.

I am going to start doing more ground work with him.

We will have play dates!

This was taken last winter.
I hope we get some snow this year.

2010-01-13T23:25:00.000-08:00

Today I felt the need to go for a walk.

It was a beautiful cloudy day.

Meditation

I love the quiet things;

Smooth waters, plow-turned sod,

Sun warmness, cool moons,

And the still small voice of God.

My niece and I strolled through the cemetery.
This star was on a tree top.

Haiku

Twilight swings open
Night's gate, letting stars shine through
Street lamps of Heaven.

Shadowed Patterns

Shadowed patterns reach,
Across the greening grass,
In blue-sky promises,
That brings a robin to pass.

Snowdrops dare to push,

Head-first into spring,

The robin and my heart,

Lift wings and sing and sing.

Love the moss!

This cross is my favorite.

It is dated

Feb 16 1848

Died

Aug 25 1920

By The Hand

My God shall take them by the hand,
And lead them through death's valley-land,
He will dry their tears and hush their sighs,
And it will come as no surprise,
That when they reach Forever-land,
My God still has them by the hand.

The death of saints is precious in His eyes,
He will guide them each to Paradise;
Against these, death makes a futile stand,
For they are resting in God's hand.

My iris's are coming up.

Hyacinth in my parents yard.

I planted these from a flower basket from my

Grandmother's funeral almost 3 yrs ago.

There are two stones with names

on them in my

my parents flower bed.

I will make sure they will always have a special place.

My bird bath.

Things in my yard.

I am anxious for spring.

First I want it to snow, snow, SNOW!!!

First Remembered Snowfall

In wintertime when we were small

And snow fell soft as fleece,

Our mother's voice would call,

"See, Granny is plucking her geese!"

Cold leaden skies put us to bed,

But sometimes in the night.

Gran's feather bed was spread,

Blue canopied a world of white.

When morning woke us like a clock,

Our wonder grew at the sight,

Down feathers from Gran's flock

Lay in a carpet soft and light.

The poems in this post are by my aunt.

Virginia Stiltner Wheeler

They are published in a poetry book called Silent Songs.

Reflections

2010-01-08T01:35:00.000-08:00

There are two ways to spread happiness;

either be the light who shines it

or be the mirror who reflects it.

Edith Wharton

I love mirrors!

I have many in my house.

I love their reflections!

Every mirror tells a tale...

Every reflection has a story yet to be told.

They know all your secrets..

your hopes, your dreams.

The sad times, the happy times.

I like taking pictures of animals hidden behind things.
I like to see their reflection.

Most people are mirrors,
reflecting the moods and emotions of the times.

Sydney J. Harris

Take care that the face that looks out from the

mirror in the morning is a pleasant face.

You may not see it during the day,

but others will.

Lily looks like she is smelling the roses!

She is inside looking out the window!

I took this picture inside the house.

Rosie is looking outside the same window.

Look of love!

One of my favorite pictures I've taken.

Lily always seems to get in the picture somehow.

Begin today! Now matter how feeble the light,

let it shine as best it may. The world may

need just that quality of light which you have.

Paint Girl's Call In Life

2010-01-04T19:15:00.000-08:00

One of the highlights of our Christmas

was going to the stable where

"Paint Girl" works

We got to watch her turn out some of the horses and

see them free play in the arena.

Hey cutie pie, come out and see me!

Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.

LOOK HOW CUTE YOU ARE!

You are my favorite!

They are so beautiful.

Pony Girl did a post on photographing other people's horses.

I am like her, I am drawn to taking pictures

of their eyes and faces.

This is Pony Girl's Favorite.

Look at these big brown eyes
The refined, chiseled face.
So photogenic.
I want your eyelashes!
What a beauty!!!

I was so impressed with Paint Girl working with

these graceful, high energy horses.

She is finally doing something

she is so passionate about and loves.

I am so proud and happy for my girl!

purpose and peace we get from

aligning our lives with the Holy will.

Help us in the new year to be Your Faithful servants.

Sentimental Journey

I've lost some very special loved ones during the holidays.

"A Gift For You"

What could I give you that you'd keep for all time?

I'd give you the world, but the world isn't mine.

I'd give you the moon to shine everyday,

And give you the sun to brighten your way.

But I don't own the world, or the moon up above.

So all I can give you is all of my love.

It may not be much, but at least it is mine,

And now it is yours

To keep for all time.

Uncle Lester

My mother's brother

My Uncle Lester lived out of state.

We only saw him every few years.

But one thing I always knew, even when I was a little girl,

was how much he loved my sisters and I.

I regret not being able to spend more time with him.

My Great-grandmother "Nanny"

We lost her on Christmas day many years ago.

She was so sweet and loved all her grandchildren.

So three little girls waited patiently for them to arrive

so we could open our presents!

Those we love don't go away,

They walk beside us everyday.

Unseen, unheard, but always near,

Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

O Christmas Tree

2009-12-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Tis the season to be jolly'

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la

Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la!

I wasn't in the mood to do much decorating this year,

but "PONY Girl" expects it.

So I had to get busy!

O CHRISTMAS tree,
O CHRISTMAS tree,
How steadfast are your branches!

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in Holiday style.

In the air there's a feeling of CHRISTMAS!

These lovely ceramic angels once belonged to our friend "POP"

I grew up loving these beautiful ornaments

Said the night wind to the little lamb

Do you see what I see

Way up in the sky little lamb

Do you see what I see

A star, a star, dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite.

Said the little lamb to the Shepard boy

Do you hear what I hear

Ringing through the sky, Shepard boy,

Do you hear what I hear

A song, a song, high above the trees

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea.

This wonderful nativity set was "Pops too."

I was going to get rid of it, and my niece Sares ,

knew I would regret it, so she saved it for me.

Thank you sweetie girl!

Said the Shepard to the mighty king,

Do you know what I know

In your palace warm, mighty king,

Do you know what I know

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold

Let us bring Him silver and gold

Let us bring him silver and gold.

Said the King to the people everywhere,

Listen to what I say

Pray for peace, people, everywhere,

Listen to what I say

The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light.

My dollar tree CHRISTMAS trees.

Santa came from Goodwill.

Rocking around the CHRISTMAS tree,

At the CHRISTMAS party hop.

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop.

Rocking around the CHRISTMAS tree,

Let the CHRISTMAS spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie,

And we'll do some caroling.

Here comes Santa Claus!

Right down Santa Claus Lane!

Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer

Are pulling on the reins.

Bells are ringing, children singing,

All is merry and bright.

Hang your stockings and say your prayers,

'Cause Santa Claus if coming tonight.

Cowboy's Mothers CHRISTMAS tree

I'm dreaming of a white CHRISTMAS,

Just like the ones I used to know.

Where the tree tops glisten,

And Children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow!

Jesus is the reason for the Season!

Jessesdesertrose 's loving husband's brother passed yesterday.

Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

" You can shed tears that he is gone,

or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray he'll come back,

or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,

or you can be full of the love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him only that he is gone,

or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,

be empty and turn your back,

or you can do what he'd want,

smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal...

LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal.

What Thanksgiving Means To Me

2009-11-24T00:14:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving is a time for me to reflect upon good things in

my life and remember why I am grateful.

Gratitude is something that is easy to feel and think about.

Gratitude is an important and rewarding

part of my life.

We should reflect on gratitude all year round.

" As we express our gratitude, we must never forget,

the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them"

~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Be thankful for each new challenge,

because it will build strength and character.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today,

and creates a vision for tomorrow.

" I give thanks unto thee, O Lord,

and sing praises unto thy name"

~Psalms 30.12

I am thankful for the many blessings in my life.

My wonderful husband

My two beautiful daughters, Pony Girl & Paint Girl

My family

My animals

My health

I am thankful for each of you my friends for blessing me

with your wonderful friendship!

"O Lord that lends me life,

Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness"

~William Shakespeare

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

for all things fair, we hear and see;

Father in heaven, we thank THEE!

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Happy Thanksgiving"

I got a call today and it arrived.

I'm going tomorrow with my saddle as a down payment.

I have to put it on lay-away for a month or so.

It's a Billy Cook barrel racing saddle!

Now Dusty Devoe and the Copper Pony won't be

running around any barrels anytime soon!

Jessesdesert Rose rides in a Martin barrel saddle

and swears by it.

The tack shop will outfit it with rigging for trail riding.

I will let you know when I get it!
I guess I will just have to practice riding bare-back for awhile!

Saddle Shopping

2009-11-20T00:03:00.000-08:00

I LOVE MY SADDLE!

When I got Dusty, I didn't have a saddle.

I worked with a gal that had a friend who

bought a new one and gave me her old one.

I REALLY appreciated it.

It worked for awhile.

I was ready to go out and get a new one.

I spent alot of time sitting in them and finally found one

that I was comfortable in.

It was new, and of course more than I had budgeted.

But Cowboy said I should get it if that was the one I liked.

They let me take it home and have my trainer

try it on the copper pony to see if it fit him.

It did.

It is a Circle Y Sheridan, trail saddle.

I can trail ride for hours and never get sore.

I LOVE MY SADDLE.

I have had it for a year and a half.

I have struggled in the arena when riding.

I have been frustrated for months.

I just can't seem to get in the right position.

I am always fidgeting.

Moving forward, hands not quiet.

Poor Dusty.

I would be okay, then I would be tossed forward when

posting losing my balance.

I feel like I am always leaning forward to have my

hands in the right position.

I have come to the conclusion, my wonderful saddle is to big for me.

It is a 16" seat.

My trainer here said she would have never put me in a 16"seat.

So I decided to go back to where I purchased it,

and see is I could trade it for a used one.

Well, they didn't really have anything, all of theirs were consignment.

She wanted me to try a Wintec. Now, I'm not knocking them,

but that is not what I was looking for.

Besides, there was a big difference in the cost of the two.

I didn't feel that would be a fair trade.

I know I would never get what I paid for mine.

But I wanted leather!

She was the same gal that sold it to me.

She said to me, move up in the saddle.

Really?

Now I am not that stupid.

I would still not be sitting right.

She didn't want to help me.

She made me feel like it was my problem.

She talked me into trying one of those sheepskin pads.

It did make me feel like I was sitting in it better.

It also reaffirmed that I had an issue.

I still had a problem, and the pad was just masking it.

I took it back and got a refund.

She didn't wait on me, but said, it didn't work?

I said no, and left it at that.

I will never shop there again.

I was really disappointed that they would not try to help me solve my problem.

I was talking to the owner of the Curves where I work out,

telling her my delima.

She told me I needed to go see a gal named Mary at another

tack store.

I never knew of this place.

So Cowboy took me up there and I told her my story.

What a WONDERFUL lady.

She is the owner.

She has helped me tremendously.

She didn't have much in used saddles.

So we looked at new ones.

I took one home to have it fitted to Dusty.

It didn't work.

So I returned it, and tried another one.

My trainer watched me ride in it, and gave it the thumbs up!

It will work perfect for him, and ME!

I rode in it and it felt wonderful.

I didn't have any issues.

So it is on order.

I will post about it when it when I get it.

Mary gave me a great deal.

She will take my saddle as a trade, and I get a new one

plus give her $250.00.

What a kind, caring person she is.

The best part of the story is that she is married

to a guy Cowboy went to school with,

and hadn't seen in almost 40 years!

They had a great time catching up.

Group Rides

2009-11-16T11:37:00.000-08:00

We've been having a group ride at the stable on Monday nights.

Most of these women trailer in.

It is so much fun to watch them.

This was the second time they got together.

A Cowgirls Grace and I have been told we can join.

Part of me wants to.

But then fear always slips in. Why?

Fearful of what? Especially when I think I would enjoy it.

Miss Phyllis, our lovely trainer will stop the ride,

and spend time with any horse or rider having issues.

I think my Copper Pony and I would have fun.

It would be a great experience for us.

Awhile back Pony Girl had a great post.

The question was...

When you do something, do you operate on

fear or hope?

FEAR almost always for me.

I think it's time for a change!!!

Live one day at a time. You've heard it before:
Don't contaminate today by corrupting it with
tomorrow's troubles...Today is challenge enough!
And since you will need fresh energy and new
insight to handle what tomorrow throws at you,
wait until it dawns before taking it on. Some of the
things you do today may seem totally insignificant
so far as tomorrow is concerned, but stay at it.

Life Lessons From Man's Best Friend

2009-11-05T00:00:00.000-08:00

I received this in the mail from my insurance provider.

I reflected upon it, liked what it said, and thought I'd share it with you.

"Six things dogs can teach us about being happy"

Live in the present and celebrate every day.

Dog's don't regret the past or worry about the future.

For dogs, every day is the best day,

every walk the best walk,

and every meal the best meal.

Trust your instincts.
Animals don't care about words.
They recognise what's going on beneath the surface
by paying attention to body language,
tone of voice, and energy.

Communicate clearly.
Any relationship, whether its with pets or people,
depends on direct, concise, and consistent communication.

Listen carefully.
Lend an ear to those you love,
but don't try to fix their problems or take them personally.

Resolve disagreements and then move on.

Animals don't hold a grudge or hang on to negative feelings.

Live with purpose.

When dogs get bored,

they can develop anxiety or aggression.

These issues can be resolved when they are given

a way to contribute to the packs well-being.

Ask yourself how you can make the world a better place,

whether it's at home, at work,

or in the community.

Cows, Cows, More Cows!

2009-10-15T00:00:00.000-07:00

I always love looking at the pictures some of you

post of your cows!

There is something so peaceful about them grazing,

or lying in the sun next to their mommas.

There is a cow pasture next to the stable.

Most of the time when I try to take photo's,

they get up and run away from me.

But not this day!!!

They seemed really curious about this woman with the camera.

What is she up to?

There are quite a few babies.

I love them!

This has to be a girl!

Isn't she the cutest thing?!?

Hey little baby!

Are you a boy or girl?

How precious you are sweet baby!

It will be fun this winter to watch them grow up.

Hopefully they will let the strange lady take more pictures!!!

Snowflake

2009-10-13T00:00:00.001-07:00

Today my sweet "Snowflake" would have been 15 yrs old.

She was a feral kitten when I got her

and pretty much stayed that way.

She was always afraid of everything and everyone.

She loved it when Pony Girl came to visit.

She would come and sleep on the edge of my bed at night.

She wouldn't leave me alone.

That was the only time I could try to sneak some kisses

and pet her.

All I wanted to do was love her.

But I couldn't change who she was,

I loved her no matter what.

I miss you Snowflake, baby Snowflake, my Snowy Girl.
