Hi Darlin’,
I was having some trouble getting to sleep, and then I heard some folks arriving at 1:30 in the morning! Crazy! Put my earplugs in and managed to fall asleep after that, though not enough hours. Did my chores, then around 9:20 I drove down to the office hoping to get five minutes with Anthony the manager about getting a schedule together to hand out so folks will know what’s going on (my bone of contention last year!), and we ended up talking for 90 minutes! He seemed very receptive to all of my ideas, and asked me to combine them with some of his and put something together, which I promised to have by end of day. Finally got back to the trailer, poor Callie and her dad had been waiting for an hour, I was apoplectic with apologies for the delay, I hadn’t taken my phone with me, but they were very understanding. Anyway, Callie and I went to get the horses, and Trail Boss Bubba had shown up and parked in his usual spot next to the barn, and he and I got into a pretty heated discussion about a whole range of things, most of it not worth mentioning, and we managed to work it out in the end, though it took better than half an hour to accomplish. We FINALLY got the horses saddled and took off. I had put together what I though would be a fairly straightforward and not too complicated route, and we were doing great on it, right up until Callie said she thought this was the longest we had ever gone riding together and not gotten lost, and wouldn’t you know? Right after that, we got lost. Grrrr! I STILL don’t know where we went wrong, it’s just crazy how badly marked the horse trails are here! I had planned about a five mile trip, thinking maybe a bit over two hours, it ended up being 3:45! It was after 4:00 when we got back. Callie’s parents showed up a bit later, we put the horses away, then I settled down to work on my project, got that finished, fed the horses, and finally settled down for the evening. Feeling pretty tired (not to mentioned frustrated that I keep getting lost in here!), so I’m guessing I’ll sleep better tonight! Going to bed early, for sure! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
