Free to Good Home

Now, if a friend tells you about 2 horses that are "dead broke" and free to a good home...who comes to mind to take them off someone's hands? Yep, my Momma!

So....because my friend Debbie thought of her when her neighbor said they would give their horses to someone if they were a good home, Debbie emailed my Mom and the rest is history.

Look at our two newest members of the horse family:

Meet Doc, the gelding in the front and Sugar, the mare with the star on her face. I think Sugar is so pretty! They ended up with us because these people got them for their grand-daughter when she was going through a horse faze that faded. They weren't horse people and the horses were just going to waste in the pasture with no one to pay attention to them.

They sure won't have THAT problem anymore! What is the horse count at Mom's now you ask? 8! YEE-HAW!!

Yee-haw weekend!

This is my Aunt Debbie, me and my Mom at the concert on Saturday. We had a blast! We started the day with a little shopping. My Mom and I admit we are not big shoppers, but my Aunt Debbie could put anybody to shame. She loves to shop as much as I love to scrapbook! ha! Then, we stopped and had a nice dinner and stopped at Kohl's (where I got a cute pair of flip-flop's!) Then, it was time to head to the concert!!!! Yay!!!! Our seats were great!
You can tell from the angle of my pics that we were right beside the stage. To the right of us was all the sound techs and where they walked out from back stage, so we got to see A LOT. I was practically hyperventilating at one point when I saw Jennifer Nettles watching Little Big Town perform! They performed first and only for about 45 minutes...I could've watched them for longer! They were really good and the crowd went wild when they played Down in the Boondocks!
Sugarland put on an awesome show with tons of energy!!! Jennifer Nettles seemed to just have blast the entire time, and I wish I had half her energy level! At one point, both groups were on the stage singing together and looked like they were having so much fun...then both of the Sugarland members got in these bubbles full of air and crawled out over the crowd with the crowd holding them up!!! Needless to say, I was like a little kid! ha!

We got home about midnight and then had to feed all the animals at Mom's....Mom, you can tell me if I get this right...that includes about 6 barn cats, 8 dogs, and 7 horses!! So, we were up late!

This is my parent's place - they just finished putting their tin roof on last weekend. I love it! Next, they are going to paint the shutters and front door. It will look awesome! It's like the line in the Boondocks song "give me tin roof, a front porch and a gravel road, feels like home to me".

I'll leave you with this funny (or at least it cracked me up). Dolly, the senior horse of the group makes quite a mess as she's eating, and the cats have apparently figured this out. So the entire time she eats, they surround the food bowl and as the food falls out of her mouth, they are happy to clean up after her! Ha!
