Hi there,
Not much time to devote to a post today, but wanted everyone to know that I was still alive. I am enjoying my horse break, continuing my saddle search and looking forward to the 4th - we'll hit the road camping as usual down at one of our favorite Lake Rosevelt haunts.
Since I fancy myself a desert dweler the climate there usually suits me just fine.
Have heard back from my friend a couple of times - and she is wanting me to call her as she is leaving for her next show and will have little to no computer time. I am very gaurded but will give her a call when I have time to do some talking without interruptions.
It seems like there may have been some stuff going on with her family...after a few emails that surfaced...and she said that she was really focused on her horse. I know all about being focused - I hit the upper edges of 4-H competition as a High Schooler and Golf (yes golf) competition through college, but hey it got me a scholarship. But I was never so focused that I shut down my closets friends so if there was stress concerning her family or hubby I would understand or at least have some clue as to what was happening? What hurt is that she had no trouble talking to others so I guess i will just have to wait and talk with her, before I open my mouth and sound like an big ass.
As always i am keeping an open mind and will just see where a conversation takes us - even my hubby says I need to talk to her in person, "it'd be a shame just to blow it off - you were such good friends.." he said - and he's right.
We did a little scouting trip this weekend up to a couple of beach haunts checking things out - saw a couple of really intresting things I caught on digital camera for your viewing pleasure I will try to upload them tonight or tomorrow morning.
Stretchers still seems fine last I spoke to Joe, he was not limping and was enjoying his break too. Pat is gaining weight already with no riding and only light turn-out. Hopefully when we meet again we'll be all refreshed and ready to get competitive.
Happy Riding everyone!
