Saturday, May 29, 2021 – Another Productive Day, Dinner with Callie & Family

Hi Sweetie!
Woke up bright and early with my alarm ready for a productive morning, headed straight to the nearby coop to pick up some hay, then back to the trailer to do chores and have breakfast. Sorry to learn that one of Bubba’s mules keeled over dead during the night, they seemed to think it was a heart attack, but he was only fifteen, so it makes one wonder. They were hauling him off while I was feeding. Sigh. Was ready to go out trail marking by about 9:00, as that was the time we thought we might be heading out on the trails. One thing led to another (sigh), and it was after 1:00 before we actually got on the trail. Callie and her family were kind enough to dog-sit with Lola so she wouldn’t be alone all day, again. We somehow managed to mark and clear both the green and the blue trail, though some sections looked like they hadn’t been used in a long time (probably because the markings on some were so bad no one could find them!), but I think we’ve got a decent plan now. It will definitely be easier to follow now, though the map will need some changing because we had to reroute a number of trails because of downed trees. It was almost 6:50 by the time we got back to my trailer, so I rushed to feed the horses, do my usual cleanup, and then additionally put on their blankets as it’s supposed to get down into the 40’s tonight! Had the fireplace on last night when it was only down to the fifties, so it’s definitely going on again tonight! Well as soon as I rushed around and did chores I headed up to Callie’s because we’re having our 2nd annual steak dinner (yes, apparently it’s become a Linville tradition!), arriving just 23 minutes late, which is usually unforgivably late in my book, but they knew I was with Anthony, and that we started four hours behind schedule, so were almost surprised I was only that late. We had a lovely evening, didn’t get back until well after 10:30, barely enough time to write to you, take my shower and get to bed before 11:30, maybe later before all is said and done! So enough from me, I need to get this day done, so I can be up and ready for another tomorrow! Good night, babe! Love you!
