Okay. It was definatly time for my blog page to get a bright and cheery summer facelift! Blue looks about right...and since its my favorate color i suppose it'll do:)

Had another fun game last night! Our team won ...(of course) big time...It was a good game, well what i saw of it. Me and Hannah went to the horse club meeting and were there for a little while. It was rather boring though, as always,so we headed over to the game at about 7:30. Actually the little clock hanging on the wall in the fair office where the meeting was said it was 7:30 when we left, then we looked at the clock in the car when we got to the game and it said it was still 7:30! We decided that the wall clock at the fair office was slow.

Nothing exciting happened at the meeting at all. I'm sorta burned out on the club right now, it is really at a stand still and nothing is getting planned or trail rides scheduled or anything. Lots of stuff gets talked about but it doesn't ever go much farther beyond that. We have a new co-leader who started this summer. I met her for the first time last night and i like her. She has alot of good ideas for the club so maybe things will start looking up over the summer. I sure do hope so....

Today was a very productful (sp?) day. Well in my opinion it was. I got up at 6ish this morning and spent some time reading...are you ready for this...are you sure....??? Okay it was Black Stallion's Courage. SerIous, i haven't read the Black Stallion series since i was about 14 or so. I really love those books with a passion...go ahead laugh at me....everyone else does...but i like old horse stories like Walter Farley books. They are thrilling. Everytime i read them i feel like i'm living in a different world with the jocks and trainer who live and breathe horses and racing and training. I'm not to big on racing, Oh i like it fine alright, and i LoooVE watching it every year at the county fairs and at state fair in August, but what i really truely love is the bond and relationship between the horses and riders like Alec and the Black. My favorate book from the series is the Black Stallion and Satan. That one is awsome. Oh and the Son of the Black Stallion is my second favorate. Satan is an amazing horse (i know he's not real but..well...ya know...;) I'm in the middle of the Black Stallions Courage right now. Read a little in it a couple of hours ago,before i had to go to town. Haha! Yeah....

Me and my sis went to town to get the dogs shots done and run some errands (and get some two liters of soda for tonight!!!:) post office,return a movie and some odd stuff like that, and haha the vet wasn't in his office today. ha! So we go again tomorrow,but we have to take them to Carbondale instead cause mom found this one-day vet clinic they are having.

Poor little Brandi, the pup we have, has to get dropped off at the animal clinic/pound thing too. Well its not really a pound, its like a no killl animila shelter where we always take animial we have to get rid of. (they have seen more of cats of ours than i can probably count) But we can't keep him and we can't seem to be able to find a good home for him so he has to go....poor ol' Brandi-Boy....

Oh well...such is life out here in the country, where ya just can't keep every single critter that gets borned here. The price of feed is so high right now, as a matter of fact EVERYTHING is just so DANG EXPENSIVE right now it's just INSANE!!!! Don't get me started...believe me...you don't want to get me going.
Okay on to other things....as i was saying today felt very productive which just puts a person in a good mood. I baked 2 cherry pies this morning. They turned out looking good enough to eat if i do say so myself.:) I also got 2 banana breads baked and a batch of cookies. After all that baking in a hot kitchen though, i was feeling like shutting myself up in the freezer!! The thermometer said that it was about 102 degrees, but it was smack dab in the sun so it probably wasn't really that hot.
Okay i believe it is time for me to bid you farewell...Hope you have a very blessed weekend!

Happy Trails,
