Topic: Sunday Sunday!!
Hey guys,
Today was ok, still dealing w/our loss.  We went over to the trainers barn like we do each Sunday, and I had every intention of riding, but just couldnt bring myself to do so.  We had Windy repadded and Gypsy shod, trying to get ready for the fair parade here in Fordyce on Thursday. 
I will ride in it and hopefully will be able to do so and smile.  Mike cooked today, I ate salad, trying to lose this weight, so Im a salad queen these days.  Love that green stuff. 
Hope everyone has had a great day and that all of our peunies are feeling better and that Steve maybe enjoyed some golf in the sun today.
See you all tomorrow, Im off to bed.

Love you all,
Rhonda D.

 I'm going to be getting there about 8, as well.  I've already registered and everything but depending on who you talk to, it's going to be either 8 or 9 generally.

8 for registration, 9 for the walk (or so I've heard)  :)

Topic: RE: can u please

Hey!  I'm here!  Been goofin' off lately.  At home today trying to get some housework done.  My hubby  (Mark) is out mowing right now, trying to get it done before some more rain sets in~it's lookin as if it might any minute.  If he doesn't get it done we'll have to find someone to bale hay.  I'm gonna get out there and trim he hedges as Mark doesn't like to do that too well. 

Work is hectic, but makes the days go faster. I work for one of the DOD (Dept of Defense) contractors in the "area", as an inventory manager.  We supposedly work 4, 10 hour days, but they usually turn into 11.5 hour to 12 hour days and a little on Friday too, plus I have a class on Tuesday nights. 

Wow!  You're 39, Rhonda's 35, I'm 37.  We're close!!!

Gettin' ready to go to the walk!!  looking forward to seeing everyone.

 

Love ya's

 

Nancy
