Bucket list or a Dream come true?
I don't have a bucket list per
say, but I do have Dreams that I hope will come true one day.
I use to dream about riding
horses in a competition. I think I was like 5 then. I learned you had to own a
horse first. Santa Clause never did bring me a horse. I really doubted him from then on.
As I grew older I wanted to ride
horses with the other girls who had horses. I learned that girls who owned
horses were.....well they just were......If you did not have a horse, you were not one of them, even if they owned a half a dozen horses. They did not like to share. I get it now, and totally understand why that is.
A few years later life happened.
Marriage and a family. Then I became a horse owner one day in my late
50's! WOW! After a lot of trial and error I accepted that this was also not the path for me.
Later on, a couple of Mini Ponies
came into my life. Boy did those two rock my world. Time has creeped on and I
have one that I have been concentrating my time on. CRICKET! That boy IS My
WORLD!
We have worked very hard to get
to where we are today I have to give credit to my two Grandsons who have helped
in this endeavor.
This weekend was the weekend!
Cricket and I got to ride with other gals and their horses! It didn't matter if
were were the smallest. His big horse attitude more than makes up for any size
he is lacking.
I have to keep in mind that
Cricket IS ONLY 4 years old so he does have a lot of learning yet to do, but he
was a trooper for the weekend!
I do believe that Cricket did
some growing up during this time too. It was so good for him, and even better
for me. I now feel confident enough to take a drive with him around the neighborhood.
I don't know how long the trail
ride was. I was hoping it was a mile. I think it was 5 miles and I know Cricket
just knew it was 10 miles! We went up and down little hills, in a harvested
wheat field, and trotted half way up a very large hill. He was a huffing and a
puffing! I felt so bad for him that I got out of the cart half way up the hill and
walked the rest of the way up the hill with him. The hill was so steep I was
really worried about coming down it. But I found out that if I kept one of
my cart wheels in the tumble weeds it had a bit of breaking power and did not
push him down the hill and so we walked very nicely down that long steep hill!
At the turn around spot on the
trail ride Cricket was tired of waiting for everyone to get going back, he
decided to just lay down. I think he had the intention of rolling but the cart
prevented that. Once he was down he did not quite know how to get out of his
predicament! So I grabbed his head and helped him to his feet. (Thank you Linda
for that advise) Then it is always good to have friends that take pictures
first before attempting to help out. LOL I had him up before any help was
needed though.
This morning when I went out to
feed I was sure that he would be a bit gimpy. Muscle sore? NOTHING! And here I am
having a hard time getting up and down out of my chair. LOL
I look forward to a lot more
rides with this young buck, and we shall grow together in our rides.
Very hard to take pictures when you drive. So I did not get to many. It was a lot of fun, and by next year, Cricket and I will be a pro!

I am DONE Adulting!
Oh what a day yesterday was.....
I don't even know where to start.
First off I have a job. One that is driving me insane. Isn't a job suppose to be fun, challenging and exciting? Ummm....This one drags me down so far I have a hard time pulling myself up. It is not the paperwork, I love the "JOB" itself, but some people just don't know how to be good employers.
But that is ok, I am looking and praying, and I know God will hear me.
I get home, and do my chores. Seems like I have so many chores these days. Never use to bother me and I looked forward to them, but my back issues hurt so bad at times, it brings me down to my knees. RELIEF is at my knees. Bent over with tears falling on the ground!
Oh doctors won't do any thing. Been down that road. they just want to drug you up and send you home with exercises that makes my back hurt worse. I have degenerated disks. I need them fixed. I am to active!
Then we go to town to do a bit of grocery shopping as I needed a few things. Well a few things ended up being $149.00 in just a few things. Gosh things have gotten so expensive!
On the way home we stop at TACO BELL for dinner. I know....it is not really dinner, but at least it makes a turd. To begin with, I should of known things would go to shit in a hand basket soon.
There was a sign on the door to use the OTHER DOOR pointing to the one that faces the highway. Umm how odd is that. So we go in and we place an order. I state I wanted a Steak Power bowl salad and a small nachos. The order taker immediate jumps on that wagon and said they don't have nachos. (I understand they are not called that but I could not read the menu so I just said forget it.) and just ordered the power bowl. "Is this to go or eat in?" she asked. "I said we will eat it here."
Rick places his order.
Our order was out right quick and so we sit down to eat. I hand Rick his order, and I pull out my delicious smelling steak salad. Ummmm...no fork to eat with. How Odd I thought. So I go up to the counter....
While I watch workers run around, and am being ignored, I wave my hand to catch the eye of one of the employees:
"Mam'am....."
She walks over to the counter and says, "Yes?"
I said: "Can I get a Fork Please?"
She looks at me funny and says, "A fork?" (Like it was a foreign object)
I said "Yes, I need something to eat my salad with."
(Here is the clincher!)
She said: "We do not have any forks. We only have knifes."
I was dumbfounded! I Said, "How am I to eat my salad?"
The only reply she had was, "We did not get any forks in our shipment this week, only knifes." and turned around and walked away!
It took me a minute to compose myself, walk back to the table, put our food back in the bag it was delivered to us in, and walk out the DOOR WE WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO USE, and went home to eat!
YES....I AM DONE ADULTING FOR A FEW DAYS, Possibly weeks!

Shrinkage.......
We all know what this is.
As we get older we are not as limber as we once were.
Most things shrink with age too.
And our arms are one of them.
So when it came time for a friend of ours to need some suppositories the ole arms were just not long enough to do the job.
So in comes the:
THE SUPPOSITORY INSERTER!Didn't know they made such a thing but glad to know that there is someone out there that invented this little gadget to help insert something up our ass!
It was a bit confusing, but the suppository got inserted. There is a little stopper on it, and since it was not known what position that stopper should be in, the suppository did not get inserted "ALL" the way in. But he figured out that it would melt and all would be fine.
Since he was in the kitchen, in his birthday suit, he figured that he would rub some CBD ointment on his hip that was aching pretty bad. Leaning on the counter kind of stretched the hip joint allowing for a bit of relief as he rubbed the ointment onto his hip area.
All of a sudden something triggered the mother of all sneezes. Out flew the suppository. It hits the floor and slides across the room. Just as he turns around to see where it went, in swooped his dog and ate up the suppository!
Now dogs have iron stomachs and a nose for ass.
Not knowing really what to do he went off to work anyway.
Upon arrival of coming home, the dog met him at the door all happy like!
His PEZ dispenser had arrived!
LOL

Just because..............
I do not think like you. Nor have the same ideas as you. Walk the same line as you do. Does that make me a bad person? Does that make me not a good friend? Can't friends have different thoughts? Different ideas? SURE THEY CAN and that is what makes friendships work. It really is a two way street.
I don't know. But I do know that if we all thought alike, and all did the very same things, and did not have our own minds to think for ourselves, we would all be zombies.
I just got unfriended on FB today because I made a comment to her post that was not in line with her own thoughts. I got unfriended by her. WOW!
We really were not FRIEND FRIENDS anyway, just casual acquaintance's really.
But someone that only wants to be friends if you only think one way....Their way....just does not agree with me.
Just think of the conversations you wouldn't have, because you would only think alike. Why talk to each other if you don't have different ideas?
I enjoy conversations, and other ideas people might have. I firmly believe you can agree to disagree and still be friends.
FB has become very hateful territory these days. Do this! Do That! Mandate this! Mandate that! I don't dare make any comments on my FB page, EVEN THOUGH people can just scroll on by and ignore it, but they don't. And then the keyboard warriors are at it in full swing. I have deleted innocent posts I have posted because people just go so nasty in the comments.
So I comment on my blog! A place where I feel safe because so far no one comments on the blog. TEEHEE.....I feel safe. I feel like I am invisible.
