Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2018 – Christmas Day

Dialyzed Hubby in the morning so that we could spend the rest of the day lounging by the pool, which we thought was the plan for my brother and his company, but they all ended up sitting by my brother’s homemade smoker next to the garage so they could keep an eye on things. Brother stuffed it full of a big turkey, a couple of chickens, several racks of ribs and some fish for Hubby as well. I made up some stuffing, mashed some potatoes and helped set up the buffet, which we soon pigged out on. Frost also came home in the afternoon, with quite a positive prognosis. Evidently, if he had to have his teeth knocked in, his was the perfect way to do it. They managed to wire it all up with no problem, but his recovery is going to take 2 or 3 months, no grazing, just grain and loose hay. Jeff’s got a little grass-free run-out space outside Frost’s stall, so at least he’ll be able to stretch his legs a bit. Sorry it happened, but fortunately, his boarder doesn’t seem to be holding it against us, probably because Frost has a history of not getting along with other horses, which they neglected to mention, I guess. Anyway, he’s back, and in Jeff’s care again, so it will be fine for now. Had a relaxing evening, with Hubby and I retiring to the trailer and watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” on Amazon Prime, the first time we’ve used that service, and the first time I’ve seen it without commercials in a VERY long time, so it was utterly enjoyable. A great way to top off our Christmas!
