A blog, a repair, and Preparing for Christmas

Thanks to Facebook, I discovered another horse blog. This one is called Doing the Work and I really like the latest post. Check it out!
Speaking of doing the work...
My horse shelter is lined with plywood on one side as a wind break, the other 3 sides are open. Drifter and Gussie have been.... modifying it, so to speak....so it was time to patch it using puck board which should resist their attempts at interior decorating for the shabby chic look.

Putting a lot of screws in so you can't pull it off!

Well all right then!

I haven't been doing as much riding this year sadly, but hopefully that will change next year. Ted finally got our second truck up and running so I will be able to haul during the week. I discovered a place to ride when I was out searching for a Christmas tree. Lots of old logging roads, some of which are active. 

Are you ready for Christmas? I am mostly. Just a cookie baking day this week for my sister and her staff, that's my sister Mary who is handicapped as a result of German measles and brain fever when she was a little baby. She had a bout of pancreatitis and was hospitalized for a couple of weeks unable to eat, and with some family intervention on her behalf and round the clock support and supervision from her staff, she pulled through. I think doctors are too quick to give up on non communicative people. And I think she taught the doctor something too, so it was good all around. I feel that Prayer and Persistence Paid off! So I am feeling thankful this Christmas- what about you? Do you have something to be extra thankful for this Christmas?
