MIA

Lately I have been MIA! It has been a very eventful last couple of months. In August Brian and I took several fun trips. For any of you that understand my business you certainly understand how difficult it is for me to leave town. While visiting some of Brian's family in North Carolina we had two trees struck by lighting. This made for a fun return trip home. NOT! We come home to find out that we no longer had functioning tv's, dvs players, computers, phones you get the point. If its plugged into and outlet its all burnt up. Not to mention the fallin trees everewhere. Surge protectors FRIED, I am tired of that question "Did you have any surge protectors?" BLA BLA BLA Mine seemed to be no match for a lighting storm. As if this was not enouh weather fun then came wonderful hurricane Fay to bless me with a few more fallin trees destroying my new fence. Oh well if I sound bitter I am not at all! Ateast it all happened close enough together to make the same insurace claim! I am still waiting on the check, it seems my insurance company had beed flooded (literally) with claims from recent weather conditions. I am sure it will all get resolved. Brian went out and purchased flat screen tvs, a phone system I can't work, and a brand new computer that is definitely smarter than me! Oh well I needed some updated items anyway. This wrapped up August and now for my September thus far. My rodeo team is exceptional and my business is growing each day. I actually have been very blessed these days regardless of the weather, I know it could have been alot worse. We had our first show of a new season and my students did exceptionally well. I sold a few horses and bought a few more. I will have to post some pictures. I also just bought the cutest pony. He is 6 years old and sweet as can be. He came with a really silly name, the previous owners called him Dandy. That name just didn't work for me. We call him Blister because when we bought him his poor little muzzle was sun burned. Kinda wierd but really fits him. I have several funny stories I will try to update more often. Must go prepare for a new week. Hope to hear from some of you soon!
