The past couple of days has been warm and nice then yesterday afternoon the weather took a turn. We had some high winds and alot of rain. There was a chance of some storms but thank goodness it never did reach us. It all stayed south of us. Today the highs is suppose to be in the 40's and the rest of the week cold. We have a big rodeo this weekend where Brian will ride Friday and Saturday night. Friday night there will be a concert after the rodeo with Crossing Dixon. This is a group of guys from around here that recorded the song,'Southern Comfort'. The place where the rodeo is being held is in a low place and with only a covered top and talk about it getting cold in the holler. I have a NBHA show Saturday so, I have asked that I be in the top 15 first runners and then I will head back home to unload and get everything ready for the rodeo Saturday night. There are some days when I pass myself and I can't remember if I'm going or coming. I am also looking at this 3 yr old little mare to purchase. I'm bringing her here in a couple of days and the guy that owns her is going to let me keep her a week and ride her and see if I like her. I know the mare for Brian is the one who broke her and done the ground work all I can say about her is she is FAST!! She has the bloodlines to be an awesome barrel horse but I guess only time will tell. I will start training her on barrels mainly just learning how to rate the barrels and such. I don't like to start really running them until they are 5. That's just me, other people start running them as young as 3. So see, things around here have been busy but are fixing to really pick up. You know, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Good Morning Laura,
It was a cold day here yesterday. It only made it up to 34 degrees and that was late yesterday afternoon. We got just a tad bit of Snow. Not even a dusting, but it was some Snow. Today it's suppose to be around 53 degrees and then another round of Wintry Mix on Friday. I don't like Rollercoaster rides. LOL. I wish yall much look on the Rodeo's this weekend. I do hope you will like the mare you are going to get. It's always good sometimes to stay real busy. It helps to pass the time away. I know I meet myself coming and going sometimes. But, I'm like you, I wouldn't have it any other way either. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.
