Wow!

What a crazy weekend! It started Friday night when I left work and went straight to the barn to give a lesson. After giving the lesson and taking care of Will and Chip (horse in for training) headed home around 8, we had invited our friends who were at the barn with us over for dinner as we had PLENTY! LOVE having friends over even though my cooking is not very fancy! :) Anyone that knows me well, knows I am not very domestic! :)

Sat. dawned early (6:00) as Terry had to be at work by 7 and I had to take care of the home horses and our "special needs" dog Tess, run to the bank and be at the barn for another lesson at 10. Ran back home for a short period to grad a quick bite then back to the barn for a lesson at 1 and another at 2:30. Poor Will was a tired boy. Praise God that they are mostly beginners and only walk and some trot work! :) Worked Chip, who is doing great!!! Then got everybody put away and fed for the night then headed home.

Sunday was ANOTHER early day starting at 5:15 as I was heading up to Findlay to meet Terry's daughter Nichole for the annual Findlay Tack Swap! Jacque was going to come up to our place Sat. to stay and go with me but their mare Luna decided Sat. was the night to have her foal after being VERY overdue! Left our house a little after 7 to head north! I have never been to that tack swap before and there were a TON of people! Didn't sell too much, but also I had not taken too much with me! :) Nic did ok but her friend Carol probably made as much as Nic and I combined! :) Bad thing is though that I spent more than I made! :( Bought 2 pairs of jump blocks for easier jump setting! Yeah!!! I have been wanting some of these for a LONG time! Finally made it home around 5, helped Terry finish in our barn then we headed over to the other barn. Will and Chip got Sunday off (both were quite pleased with this) and we ended up home around 6:30 or 7 for a quiet night at home (doesn't happen too often). I even made some rice pudding! YUMMY!!!!! It has been a long time since I have had that and saw a mix in the store a couple weeks ago and finally got around to making it! So, I highly recommend Uncle Ben's French Vanilla Rice Pudding! !!!!

Well back to work!
