1. My job is doing great, I got a raise and I will be starting to work all week this week. I could of stayed as part time, but as everyone knows times are tough and you need to make all the money that is possible to be able to do the fun stuff you want. (like horses and engines)
2. I have ridden Sirocco a few times, but we have been working a lot from the ground, I have been trying to get Annie back into shape for riding, she is 22 years old and we don't ride her all that much. So, I decided that until I can get Sirocco where I need him, I will ride Annie and get some major riding time in. I really need to get her going first, she has lost a lot of muscle, and I have had some trouble trying to keep the weight on her, she seems to have the squirts a lot, and I don't mean diarrhea, her manure seems to be OK, but every so often she squirts and I have started to give her pro-bios, and it seems to work for the most part, but she still has it. So, I have been doing some ground work to get her back in shape to ride.
3. The guys did a couple of engine shows, and they went well, we haven't decided if we will do more this year or not. We were going to do the fair this year again, but nothing has really been decided on that. It takes a whole week of missing work, and at this point the hubby has taken all his vacation and, of course, work has been slow and that doesn't help at all.
4. Last but not least, we have been doing the normal things, that need to be done on the farm, and then of course, we go and do fun things. Like Saturday, the hubby and I went Kayaking and just spent the day to ourselves, the first one in a very long time! I think next week-end needs to be another day like that! The guys worked on repairing my run in shed for the horses and finished it enough so that the horses can use it for now. It still needs work, but we can now let the horses in it.
Hope you have a great week.
