First, I want to thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart, for your very sweet, kind comments about Grace and her family. This means so much to us. Monday was a very difficult day for all of us, and I just could not stop thinking about what happened, I don't think I have cried so much in one day since my Million Dollar Cat Dakota, was attacked, and we went through hell and back to get that cat to survive. I am sure most of you know me well enough by now, to know how sensitive I am about animals, I treat every one, no matter what kind (exception: snakes and spiders!) as they are my children. I am feeling much better now, but I am still thinking of my friends and Grace. It will take time to heal our hearts.

Second, I am sorry I haven't made my daily visits to all your blogs, I think it has been days! I had a crazy weekend. On Saturday I had to go to a mandatory unemployment meeting. Boring. Than I went to a yearling Mustang adoption. No, I did not adopt a Mustang! Then we had a friends BBQ/party to go too. Had a good time! On Sunday we went kayaking on our river for over 4 hours, but by the time you get everything set up and get down the river, than back home, it is more like 8 hours. So much fun! I won't talk about Monday. It is kind of a blur, and a day I never want to repeat again.

Tuesday I had to go to another mandatory meeting at unemployment. Quit picking on me unemployment! Go get an oil change in my car, deposit a check in the bank, mow the lawn in 95 degree weather, and now I need to start packing. Yep, packing. You see, me and my sis are heading out of town for a few days. So I will not be in the blogging world until possibly Sunday. I just don't want you all to think I have quit blogging, or decided I don't want to visit you all anymore. I actually might have access to a computer, and if I have time, I will try to check in on ya'll! Where are we going, you ask? We are going to haul our horses to our mom's for some horseback riding with some family members. I think half the Pony Cousins will be there. I am very excited for this adventure, and this should prep us for our annual Pony Cousin trip that is coming upon us fast. Real fast. After I pack, I need to load hay in the truck, hook the trailer up to the truck, load the rest of my stuff in the trailer, clip my horse, check the tire pressure in truck and trailer, all in 100+ degree temps, yep, we are in the middle of a serious heat wave! I guess it is good preparation for the weather that is to come on our Pony Cousin trip.

Have a great week and weekend, and can't wait to share my many adventure's of the week!!
Happy trails to ya'll!

I'm just back to blogging after the weekend and haven't been to read about Grace yet. Wondering now if I should.
Hope you and Pony Girl have a good time with your family and that your heart heals while you're with loved ones. Be sure to check into Mustang U for updates on Lib and Chance!
The trip sounds like a lot of fun even if the prep sounds a bit miserable with the heat. With both of you off doing your thing, it will be a bit lonely around here but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Enjoy!
Enjoy your trip, get your mind off of your sadness and have a great time.
I HAVE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I totally understand with everything going on...I am so glad you are getting a short break before the big trip! I'm so jealous!!!
We actually will be having our county horse show this weekend and my nieces from TX get to come so it will be a blast!!! All of the kids and cousins will finally get to compete together!!
Have a blast!!!!
Have a margarita with Cuz K for me!
Paint Girl, sounds like a weekend with some horse cousins will be good for your heart and soul! You are just like a big ole horse--gotta be with your herd.
I'll be in Montana for two weeks starting saturday, but I too will be back!
Big fuzzy hug to you, Excellent Human.
Have a GREAT time!!! And guess what??? It is actually cooler in Eastern WA right now, so happy trails to you. :)
Have a great trip! You are sure to do some fantastic riding, and you will no doubt have a fabulous time. We will miss you, but look forward to hearing from you again when you return....
(P.S. -- I commented here a minute ago, but it did not show up for some reason -- if this is a duplicate, please forgive me!!)
I am catching up on my visits and you are going riding, lucky!! ;-) I hope something good comes out of the whole Grace thing, I believe everything happens for a reason and I think I am finding out the "why" behind what happened to Duke. I will keep ya posted, might even blog about it....we'll see what happens. Anyway, I will continue to pray for you and the family and I hope you have a safe trip and can't wait to hear about your adventures!
Try to enjoy your weekend - I know she will stay in your thoughts but time will ease your pain. Try to find some of your old joys in life that will help some...
Again I am very sorry!
