Friday, September 10, 2021 – Quiet Day, Dinner Out with President Chad

Hi Sweetie,
Slept later than I should have again today, I really need to get on a different daily schedule! Spent most of the day just reading and doing a few odd jobs on the computer (as well as playing a few games, of course), then received a message from Chad, the president of the local horse association that does the upkeep on the trails here and organizes the events, about meeting him for dinner at a local restaurant. We agreed on 7:00, which gave me time to feed the horses and get ready. I put my green faux leather jacket on, but didn’t realize until much later the dang thing was falling apart on me! The outer layer was just peeling off, so I put it in the trash when I got back. Really a shame, I loved that jacket! But one less thing to carry, right? Dinner was at the Portage Lake Parlor, a local hangout, with mediocre food, poor service, and acoustic music that was so amped up it made it almost impossible to talk. Met a couple that was here at the horse camp last weekend and chatted with them for a bit, too. Got back to camp by 9:00, where quite a few campers had come in today, though not anywhere near as busy as last weekend, put the blankets on the horses again, even though it’s not supposed to get that cold tonight, I don’t want to take any chances on them starting to sprout a winter coat! Not when we’re heading south next week, where it’s still 90+ degrees in Indianapolis (not to mention over 100 in Las Vegas where I’m flying off to). Anyway, it was a very quiet day overall, ready for shower and bed shortly. Good night, babe! Love you!
