Really Been Awhile

Sorry I’ve been away so long. Spring is here and life is busy outside again. The daffodils and tulips are up (not blooming yet). A huge storm is headed our way right now. The sky is black and the power has gone out twice already. My dad just called to make sure that I was aware of what was happening. It’s kind of scary looking out right now. Dad & I got caught in a quick moving storm this morning. We finished cutting wood just in time. We ended up sitting in the truck for a few minutes to wait for the rain to slow down.
My DH is away at military training. I’ve been taking care of everything with help from my dad and his parents. Thank god for all of them. They are all life savers. I couldn’t do it without them.

The storm has arrived. The thunder is shaking the house. The wind is blowing the rain very hard. It has been windy all day, but this storm blew in with a ferocious wind. Hopefully the horses and cows will be fine.

Anyway, I have made another show shirt. I will post a picture as soon as I get it fixed. I finished it and put it on and realized I put the cuffs on incorrectly. I’m in the process of taking them off. I’ve got one done, but needed a break. I’ll get the other one off yet tonight. Hopefully I will have it fixed by tonight. The shirt didn’t go as smoothly as the first one. I’m not sure why, but I’m very disappointed. It looks fine when I put it on, but I also know where all the mistakes are.
Less than a month to go before we leave for Hawaii. Yeah!! I need a vacation badly. Going to work is hard for me. I just don’t even want to go anymore. They did get me a laptop finally so now I can work from home. It’s a good thing and a bad thing. I like being able to work at home when needed, but I don’t want them to think that I will always being working at home during my down time. It’s a catch-22.

Anyway, the two horses in training seem to be doing well. I have ridden one of them once (lesson). She did really good and I’m super excited about the next show. I plan to go and show walk/trot and hopefully halter. She probably won’t make a good western pleasure horse because she has an issue with her lope, but her walk/trot is great. She was a show horse at some point in her life because she knows cues that only show horses would. I can’t wait!!!!
