Hello Dear Ones,
One thing is that we went to Boonville, Missouri the end of February to take our young black and white colt, Buddy to Eli Yoder's new place to be ridden for 6-8 weeks. In preparing Buddy for the trip we practiced loading in the trailer... no problem, however, he spent a good two hours peering out at us as he refused to deplane. No problem, it just takes time and patience, you remember: take the time it takes and it takes less time... so true in many cases. So now we anxiously await word of how he is going... because obviously Eli does not carry a cell phone or have a phone for that matter. What he does have are some very cute blue heeler pups and a pole barn that was raised for him by his friends in just one day. Pretty impressive. I must say, I did have mixed feelings as we drove away in our big red truck with our friends in a continuation of our road picnic/party that we pay him to ride our horses... makes me wonder who is the lucky one...
Second thing is that I "had" to go to Lawrence to go to a computer class on a Friday in March and met up with Rachel for lunch and a chat. We dined at the "Ingredient", a very nice restaurant, great food and stimulating discussions involving law related things as well as meeting some of Rachel's friends. All in all, a perfect day.
And "Door Number Three", did you hear about Robin's adventures in candy land? had to do with a trailer loaded with empty syrup vats? The girl knows how to have fun! That's what I have always said!!! The Parsons Community Garden is in her debt... so here's a question for the gardeners: what is the essential gardening tool?
