Hiya Babe!
Sleeping like a baby these days, must be the Sleepytime tea I’ve been trying to get in the habit of again. Did my usual chores and breakfast, plus a load of laundry, and since I was using some water, I decided to fill up my truck tank, but first I did some scrubbing to clear out some of the algae that’s been growing, threw in a bleach tablet when I started refilling it. By the time I got that all done, the ladies had already left on a ride, so I saddled up and went out on my own for a bit. I didn’t take Lola, just because I figured there were too many other folks out on a Sunday. We meandered for a bit, went past some markers for what I’m guessing are founding MTRA members, took some trails, some roads, and a few old forest roads that have evidently not been used in a long time, but made for a nice ride, albeit a lot shorter than I would normally go. But then, the sky was getting cloudy and started to look like it might rain, despite the fact that I checked the forecast this morning and it said there was only a 10% chance, which is why I hung out my laundry. By 3:00, though, it had changed to 70%, and everyone was putting everything away. These forecasts are making the local haymakers go nuts! Anyway, I got back early in the afternoon, got my laundry down, though a couple of drops of rain did come down, then I started working on changing saddles. Another ring on my saddle broke, so now I can’t use my breast collar, and several other have broken or gone missing, so I decided it was time to change over to your old saddle, the Aussie with the horn. I had used that when we first got Flash, because he was such a nutcase I wanted something to hang onto, and it’s still in very good shape, so I moved everything over to that saddle for now, and started looking on Marketplace for another one without a horn, though who knows? I might just decide I like it better with the horn anyway. The ride was less than seven miles, but still not bad, though roads are not my favorite. I went do to visit with the ladies and first we played a strange tile game like dominoes, but it involved little plastic trains, and required too much math for me. It finally started to rain a bit more steadily, though it didn’t last long, so we moved inside and played some euchre instead. At 6:30 I cam back, had some dinner, then went to the riders meeting, which no one except me came to, then after awhile, Gale and his friends asked me to play euchre, and we managed to get two games in before dark, which Gale and I won both. Finally calling it a night at 9:30, having my tea, doing my Spanish lesson, and soon shower and bed. A pleasant day all around! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
