Living the dream.

Pictures from a past ranch trip.  I feel at peace there.  My happy place.  All the indecision and struggles fly away.  The people and the place, I tell ya...

 Homemade apple butter, anyone??  Why yes, yes please!

 Surprise happy birthday cake for Debbie!!  Only about a month late...

 But I think she liked it...

 Remember these old cell phones?

 Jeremiah and Fireball.

 Jeff, Sammy (!!!) and Paint.  Jeff and I were doing figure eights and he just cantered those two horses around like it was nothing.

 Oh, heeeyy, cute shoez!!  It's funny when you pick their feet up that way because they sort of get lazy and lean against you as if you can support their weight.  Sillyz.

 This was the time I bounced around and my foot flew out of the stirrup.  Stayed on the horse, although I think I scared the pants off Jeff and Jeremiah.

 All the shoes we took off.  The process seemed more difficult than I had anticipated.  J&J did all the work, I just cooed and talked to the horses; tried to keep them calm.
