    LOL, FEM, I exhaust me most of the time! I could have kept sleeping this morning. I'm so tired from all the extra work. I don't mind it when HR goes out of town because it's a pretty fat check, especially when they're gone for a week as they are currently. However, it's a LOT more work than...

    Finally got an answer - EPM. Apparently his symptoms aren't classic, or are no where near what a "normal" horse would present with, he's basically symptom free in the field, and walking around he looks 99% normal. It's just in his stall that he does the head pressing into the wall thing and...

    Good to know, @baymule Yesterday was a lovely day. I took the BF's Brother's Estonian girlfriend around to show her a bunch of different places, and drive through the countryside. Mostly it was to get her out of the house away from his mom, who will drive anyone crazy pretty quickly. We had a...

    Thanks everybody!! @baymule part of the issue is that the ridge is exposed and he wants to make sure that the rain doesn't fall into the shed anymore. Whew. What a crazy week! Holidays always throw things off. Wednesday I had a great time hanging at a pool with a friend, except for the fact...

    Ooooo Britesea that looks awesome!! I have SO many in my yard that they make a carpet, so the ones in the garden beds can easily go. Though I wonder if the bigger plants make bigger flowers because the ones in the yard make teeny tiny flowers. The garden bed ones look like small shrubs now...

    :lol: Ya'll are funny! Everything has been sitting there for over a year, FEM, so I'm not all that fast. Once I get a wild hair to get it done though, look out! I'm SO glad that it IS done now, there's only one or two more papers I need to put away and I'll have it finished. The guest bed...

    We had a busy weekend! Whew!! I spoke with JO again, and there is another person that is considering moving into the barn, and has been there before, but has had problems with one of the farm staff (who is reportedly 'crazy' and has caused several different barn folks to leave... but that's...

    It IS tempting, @baymule I'm actually going to stop by tonight to see what the feeding routine is and maybe ask to see if there is any way that it can be changed from both Sat and Sun to another week day. I would even take Fri at this point (I already feed on Fri, so what's the difference...)...

    :celebrate We made progress on the shed this weekend! The walls are UP! It didn't take us too long, and we had the help of our neighbors at a couple of key spots, so that was great, but we now have 4 walls and a framed out door! :woot We didn't get to keep working yesterday because of father's...

    :lol: FEM! I hear ya!! Looking forward to pay day at the end of the week so I can organize my money again! I think I've made it without going over my budget, though I'm REALLY close... Like crazy super close. The BF's budget is not in as good of shape as it has been, but we're still hanging in...

    SO we managed to get all the work done, or at least as much as we were going to get done at that point. I'm really pleased with how everything turned out, and I stopped back by on Sunday morning to chat with GH and SH about it, and they LOVED it. I was SO relieved. SO now I have to come up with...

    Ok, back again! LOL The BF was coming here to drop off a bobcat, and I had to go out and get it so that he could get his truck off the road, which is a 2 lane road that everybody drives too fast on. I had to drive it back down my friend's very long driveway, and it is LOUD. It's a track cat, so...

    Yall are awesome, thank you! I don't often cook in bulk, that's something I need to do more of. I often don't take the time to do so, and then I end up wishing I had. When I do it makes me really happy, LOL. We have a habit of eating all of it right away, though, sometimes. Currently at...

    Thanks yall!! I tried stopping for bread crumbs, couldn't find them in the cheap grocery store near us, so I just gave up and went home because I FINALLY remembered we had ritz crackers in the house. Duh. So into the burgers they went. They turned out really good, too! I know that we need to...

    Yes, FEM, that is such a blessing! I'm really grateful for her help, and it works well for both of us. She gets experience, and I get help so I can actually have TIME to ride. This week is WAY busier than I'd like, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I just launched a group program in my...

    Thanks ladies. I made sure my dad knew that it was not easy for the BF to change the vacation time. I have to review my schedule and figure out when would be better to have them come. I don't have a lot of free weekends in between everything, so we'll have to see how that fits together. I need...

    Yes, thanks ladies! It was a bit crazy for sure. And unfortunately, things have gone to hell in a handbasket since then. Tuesday evening I found out that I screwed up the order for the appointment reminder cards that we had made, there is an error in one of the phone numbers on it. At first the...

    FEM, the cardinals fledged in about 2 days! They're all already out of the nest! I was surprised how quick it was. I was a little disappointed I couldn't get any pictures of them after they were out of the nest, but the bush is so dense I couldn't see them! @Britesea yes, it really is!! I'm...

    Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

    Yikes! Losing a phone these days is one of the worst things! I'm sorry you lost your videos. I think there are some secure mounts, and of course water proof cases for them that you can get. They may not be cheap, but it depends on how much you want it I guess. Glad to see you here! I hear ya...

    I did take a few pictures, FEM! They didn't turn out great, but you can kinda see the baby, LOL. Speaking of pictures, I found a nest of cardinals yesterday while I was getting the mail. They're so cute! Papa was hanging around and doing a good job of taking care of them. I didn't see the mom...
