Back to being horse and normal work busy.

My husband left yesterday around mid morning.  He took C.C. with him and it's so nice now that I can leave my boots outside to dry and they won't get chewed on.   And I won't get jumped on because she's so glad to seem me.

We had a good time while her was here.  Now it's back to working for my landlady and getting more horse time in. 
I'm also going to try to get back to my daily workouts.  Miraculously I haven't gained but a pound or so since he got here. 

After he left, I headed into town because I needed supplies and groceries.  I also stopped at an antique mall I've been seeing and driving past for a couple months.  It was worth it to stop as I picked up a few really cute things and also some gifts for people.
One of the things I picked up in town was some solvent... a bug and tar remover kinda stuff.  My husband and I purchased some fence boards and brought them home in my truck.  Who knew those boards would have fresh creosote, (yes, they sell creosote boards in Florida),  and that nasty stuff got all over my truck.  Hopefully, this solvent will get it off.  Yuck.

The landlady purchased a big bagger for the riding lawnmower and we spent half the morning trying to put it together to no avail.  There's one metal rod that won't fit so we can screw it down.  I'm going to take it to the John Deere place and let them deal with it this afternoon. Horse time after that.

My landlady is leaving for southern Florida for a few days so I'll be here to look after the place.  Her daughter is going to feed her horses so I don't have to deal with that

Beautiful weather we're going to have this week.  :)

  1. Sounds as if you had a great visit. I hope the weather continues to hold for you and you can get some fun horse time in. Our weather has turned very winter-like all of a sudden... hahahaha We are expecting serious rain and cold this weekend, so Lenny was at the barn yesterday, and will go back to finish up the afternoon (after golf!!) to install rain gutters on my stall. :)

    I can't believe its been nearly 3 months already.. how much longer are you down there for? It so nice to be able to read about what you are up to, so often :)

    Take care!
    Hugs,
    Robin

    1. Robin, I LOVE that picture of you and Lenny. It's just beautiful!

      I'm getting back to normal. I'll leave for home on March 29th.

      Had the first golf lesson today in seven years. I've only had maybe 3 or 4 my whole life.
      This one was awesome! I'm so siked! But I have a lot of practice to do to unlearn some old muscle memory.

      I'm going to go get another one next week. :)
