What A Weekend!It went like this:
Friday
I came home went right out into the field with Hubby and worked on the
fence - till dark. Ate dinner fell asleep on the couch while debating
about whether to try to watch a DVD - I guess not.
Saturday
we woke up - went outside and worked on fence till we ran out of
T-posts.....sigh....they are so much fun after all I can't wait to get
some more.... I washed horsey clothes and cleaned house while hubby
worked on stuff outside till it got dark - we ate dinner in a rush and
hit 2 neighbor bonfires. I tried my first dose of real White Lighting -
and learned that the stuff is rather stout! I swear it felt like it was
4 AM when we hit home but it was only 12:30 AM - I joked about us
getting to old for this stuff, as we passed out on the couch reeking of
bonfire....
Sunday I hit the road for an all day trip to collect Stretcher and still make it back in time for my Mother's Day present to my Mom.
This
is the "new" barn - I wanted to show because cause I have talked about
the fire - so I want to show you all the new barn. This was as I was
leaving...look at the sky! Isn't it a pretty day! Too bad I spent the
whole day in my Truck.
I snapped a picture of this little guy - who just came in for training - he is one of Infinitive's
(one of the studs that died in the fire) last babies - I think they named him
Infinite Finale. So he is Patrick's half brother - by a paint mare
(Andrea
- just encase you are thinking fate has slighted you once again - they
were trying for spots with an APHA mare who's pretty dang good a
throwing color, but her last one was solid so they just got lucky this
time that's all ). Then I headed home at warp speed....
When I got home - look at who was super interested in what was in my trailer??
I
think Stretch was not impressed with my driving skills, I have never
seen want out of a trailer so bad! I am not glaring at my mom, the camera woman, it was the beginning of a wink!
Here is Stretch - glad he is out of the trailer is but suspicious of the camera woman...or trying to say "call 911 - I've been horsenapped by that lady who rides me occasionally and is a very bad driver!"
And Patrick - who's lost a little weight I see (he has a history of doing that whenever he's moved) watching the new arrival.
Roughly
I was in the Truck from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM (7 hours or so) - so I am
completly beat by this point in time - but my Mother's Day present to
Mom was that I bought her tickets to go see the new
Star Trek
movie tonight! You all already know I am a geek - well I am that way
because my family is too. I grew up on Star Trek and Star Wars - I
didn't stand a chance.
But I say that very lovingly - because I wouldn't have it any other way!
So
I turn right around load up more T-Posts, park my trailer and haul ass
back to my place (an hour away) in a Truck that is not clearly not
running right -
darn it. I grab hubby - switch to my car and head directly to the movie theater!!
(Did you hear me mention food? No? Cause I hadn't had any...)....GAH!!
I
meet up with my Mom - and we sit down to enjoy one of the best movies I
have seen in a LONG time! Even on an empty stomach with a headache - I
had the time of my life watching them bring that story back to life. We
all LOVED IT!! I highly recommend it to anyone as it isn't so nerded up
with ST jargon that the average non-trekkie can't understand what's
going on - it's understandable, exciting, the effects are first-class -
it just was a great ride. You sit down, buckle up, get a smile on your
face that doesn't leave till the credit are rolling.
Mom was happy, even non-geeky Hubby was happy, everyone was happy!
I
am punching this post out now that I am home with food in my stomach -
running on my last reserve battery so - to - speak, eyes all glazed
over with that mindless
"I'm too tired to think of anything else to do than sit here and stare at my computer" look,
scheduling it to publish Monday - cause I know I will be about comatose
tomorrow and busy dealing with my truck, which I am really really
hoping doesn't cost me too much money to fix.
Hope you all had a great weekend!!
Go watch the movie - it's the first time I was felt good about spending $9.00 to go see a movie in years.
