WE ALL SHOULD BE THAT EXCITED ABOUT SNOW

Posted inMiscellaneous
Just Wanna Have FUN! Remember when you were excited about the snow.  It was during the time we called childhood. Remember childhood and snowsuits?  Dogs still have fun in the snow and it is fun to watch them. Maybe grandchildren can make you excited about snow again, but I have my doubts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YalKsQwE_Xc Horses seemed to be doing well with their wet backs and frozen manes and tails. Living on a long dead end gravel road has made me scared of snow.  One year we got a car and two tractors stuck…

REST in Peace, Lena vom Weissen Haus

Posted inMiscellaneous
She was twelve years old when she left Terry and I.  Lena leaves a lot of sons and daughters to bring joy to their owners. She leaves us grieving for her and abundent with rich memories of her life with us. Terry and I were gifted with Lena when she was seven years old. She was at the end of her life as a breeding dog.  My good friend, Teresa Osborn, gave Lena to us. Lena lived out the rest of  her years as a two dog family with many…

Susan the Frozen Icicle

It's cold here. Getting the water from the pump into the heated horse water buckets is a big deal. Getting the hose cleaned out of water, so the next time I use it, it works is a big deal.  Using the sprayer is a big deal. Otherwise I have to kink the hose to stop the water until I get from the pump to the bucket.  Eventually, the kink makes a hole in the hose. Get the picture? Sometimes the pump freezes up because I didn't manage to make the…

Muck Boots and Dollar Store…and great old Xmas Pictures

Posted inMiscellaneous
Tonight I got all ready to ride outside.  I thought that I could wear three pair of socks with my muck boots.  Muck boots are rubber.  They stretch.  Oh, I forgot to mention that I have heat generating insoles already placed inside my muck boots. As I live and breathe, three pairs of extra heavy socks plus the heat generating insoles were too much for the muck boots. They didn't stretch.  They just squeezed my feet and cut off my heat generating insole device. Tomorrow, I'm going for two extra…

New Weight Loss with Horses Plan!

Posted inMiscellaneous
Ride after Work to Size 12 Here's what I came up with... The plan is that I come home from work in the dark, miserable weather.  I put a horse into the trailer and drive to Pine Dell stable and ride. I come home frozen, take care of the horses and eat a few bites on my way into the shower to unfreeze my body parts.  Try on a size 12 shirt.  Hit the bed and sleep for the next day to come. Repeat until size 12 shirt buttons. See how this…

Redhead Stretchy Rainwear-Pants

Posted inMiscellaneous
Oh my goodness are these Redhead StretchyRain Pants amazing!  The fact that I own a pair now is all due to Hope. She was bragging about her wonderful rainpants that she bought at Wal-Mart.  She even wanted to go riding in the rain!  That's usually against our religion.  I thought I should get as techy as Hope, but instead of Wal-Mart, I went to Bass Pro Shop. Just so you know, I have dark blue stretchy rain paints.  If I had bought the cameo pants, no one could see my legs…
