Hi Babe,
Well, rearranging my bed made a huge difference, I had a pretty good night's sleep, just woke up a few times, but was pretty warm despite temps in the 40's. I was sound asleep and in the middle of a dream when Jeff called out to ask me where the coffee was (in my tent), so I woke up to give it to him, and realized it was 8:00! I managed to get myself together, get dressed (I've been wearing my split skirts and leather vest all weekend, though this morning I needed my leather jacket too), and do breakfast again, though Jeff only wanted bacon, no eggs. Apparently he didn't sleep hardly at all, he was too cold, and he spent the morning whining about the cold and no showers and too primitive and on and on. Naturally he wasn't about the come on the ride this morning, which didn't start until 10:00, because he was too sore from yesterday, but he was quite willing to stay behind and break camp, since I told him I had no problem heading for home when we got back from the ride. Of course, he went on about it anyway, couldn't take yes for an answer, you know how he is. While yesterday's group had over 80 people in it, today it was less than 20, mostly women, and I had a good chance to chat with a lot more of them today. I rode Apollo since everybody else has stock horses and that's closer to the right speed, and I didn't want to have to fight with Flash to slow him down again. Turned out with the cold air, most of the horses were kind of frisky anyway, and we did a lot of jogging. I met a woman who has a summer home in Michigan and used to be on the board the of Michigan Trail Riders Association, the ones who sponsor the Shore-to-Shore ride that I'm thinking about going on this summer, turns out she only lives about 90 minutes from Lansing where that one client of ours wants to have their workshop, so we're trying to schedule it so I can do both, and this lady said looking after the critters for a few days would be no problem. Hoping all that works out! Also met some others planning on coming to the OTL, including a newby from the Miami area, so I'm hoping I talked a few more into it. Anyway, I got back to camp before 2:00, and found that Jeff had, indeed hooked up the truck and broken down everything except my tent, so I packed up everything that was in there, got all that put away, moved the trailer off the little hill we were on, and finally loaded up the horses, getting out by about 2:20. Other than a quick stop for fuel, we got home without any problems, arriving just before 6:00, so it was feeding time and we just got it finished before it was too dark. Whew! I jumped into the shower, as I'm sure Jeff did, too, and later we shared a steak he grilled, and we watched the last 3 minutes of the Super Bowl together over dinner before I headed back to the camper. Now I'm ready for bed! Good night, my love!
