#39--Shrimp pasta, rides, and naps...

It’s Friday afternoon and Stacy is snoring away in the background surrounded by the boys. We started the day with another ride around here. Mine was a little more exciting since Romeo thought he could probably be in charge this second time around. He even tried a bucking routine—although no one is buying my new self appointed title of “Bronc Buster” or as Yuliya said “bronk horser”. I ended up winning all the battles and am leading in the war, but it did make me work a little harder than the rest of the group—although Yuliya did most of it on her walk with the boys so everyone is a bit tired. I think just an active vacation in catching up with Stacy, and it is in the 80’s here—almost too warm for our choice.

I’ve been trying to get a master printed off of this here blog. Figure I’ll have several artists friends at the show and it will be good reading material—especially since I transferred it to word and it’s all in order instead of backwards. Holler is you want a copy…(although we just came in later tonight and our error on our printer is that we have outlived our printer parts and it is dead--sounds like an Albuquerque problem.)

And Romona you are right—I probably didn’t need the entire 25,000+ (yes that is twenty-five THOUSAND) words it is up to this point—but hey—got anything better to do? And I do enjoy the story telling…

Guess I better head into the house and see about making my Shrimp, mushroom, artichoke alfredo pasta—I am earning my keep as cook.

Hoping Betsy will convince her outfitter friend that they need a cook for their September-November hunting camps. I could do that if I got a horse to ride in my spare time—with my organization and Stacy’s muscle we could be quite the team to hire for a couple of months. It would be an interesting experience for us…and think of the blog I could have during that!

Just got in for the evening, the shrimp pasta was wonderful and we’ve been convinced to stay until Monday—we just have too many things to do together—and it’s been a great time.

Tomorrow we will probably do another ride around there—Betsy has been getting some good work time and we are pretty easy guests. She is totally comfortable of us taking off by ourselves—guess we have passed the “can handle horses” test.

And then Tom wants to BBQ on Sunday. Sounds good to us…
We seem to all hang out well together and Tom, being a relative newcomer of 3 yrs, views us as his & their friends, we get along very well, Tom & I relate…nice to have an important niche in another’s relationship—and they with us.

So we will probably sleep late tomorrow and then do our thing, ride, veg, and then top it off with an award winning dinner & libations. It looks to be a great weekend ahead…
