Shawn had a photography student come by and ask about using our horses for models and of course Shawn said yes. WHO doesn't say yes to free photos of our horses? Shawn sent them to me and told me Shelby would come back to do photos if we wanted (and of course I would pay … Continue reading Remus Is Ready For His Close-Up, Not Really

The last house we looked at when was in Memphis was a nice one. It was a definite possibility. It is still for sale and our realtor is supposed to go see it. Was it perfect? Nope. But the land was usable there was a very basic barn there and it was in a decent … Continue reading Memphis Part III: The Sunday House

So we saw four houses over the weekend and one dingy apartment complex. Everything was green in TN unlike up here and all the flowers were blooming so it was very pretty down there. However everything blooming was FREEZING to death due to the cold temps that had crept into that area last weekend. I … Continue reading Memphis Trip Part II: Houses and BBQ

But to be fair, my brain is a whirling dervish of emotions and plans and craziness. I am down in … Continue reading No Idea Which Way Is Up: Sure Why Not Sign Up For a CT?

In fact me typing this blog, my fingers and knuckles actually hurt typing. My knees are killing me, my feet hurt, my calves hurt, … Continue reading Where Did All This Stuff Come From?
