Hi Darlin’!
Well, we weren’t in bed very long before there was a pounding on the door, Bubba telling us the creek was rising and that we ought to move the horses. I went and looked and I didn’t think they were really in any danger, though one fence post was starting to get water around it. I took off the fence charger and debated a bit, but then saw on the radar that another big band of weather was coming, so rather than spend the night getting up and down to check on them, we figured it would be easier to just put them in the trailer, so that’s what we ended up doing. It was after midnight by then, and we were all pretty exhausted by then. I got up with the alarm and fed the horses, then finally woke them both up in order to get to breakfast on time. We were a little surprised that there were so many folks still going for a group ride what with all the rain, and it rained a bit after they all left, but Maggie and Sandy decided not to ride today. The creek was slowly receding by the time breakfast was done, and we all got back to the trailer, and before long, we were all napping, Sandy outside, Maggie inside, and me up in my bed. I didn’t wake up until 11:55! Needed it though. After lunch we watched the Extreme Trail Competition for a couple of hours, then had dinner (still eating way too much!), listened to a great band that Anthony had brought in, sat through the awards program, stayed a bit for the music, then finally came back to the trailer about 9:30, pooped! Can’t wait for my shower and bed, which I’m off to do now. Good night, honey! Love you!
