Carolina Liar - I'm Not Over

Third Level Freestyle

Here you go Rachel!

This is as close to off roading as I will get with my Jeep

My friend and I made the outline of a full size dressage ring on the top of the hill behind our horses. When she rides the freestyle(dressage movements set to music), she needs to practice in a full size ring, hence the need to make one. In order to have music up there though, I need to drive my Jeep up the 4 wheeler/ tractor path. This isn't too bad, but I hate the sounds of the berry bushes scraping the sides of my red Jeep.

The views are really nice up there though, as you can see the valley from North to South.

I am still trying to get used to taking videos with my phone. I can't remember what way it needs to be so that the video is not upside down. Not one of my top priorities though.....

The Tap Photo................

Left to Right: Myself, Kate, Lucy Lui, and Carolyn

I received an email the other day from Kate, the women who had invited Carolyn and me to the Tap Launch in NYC. She asked if we were agreeable to having this picture in the US Funds magazine. It is not my favorite picture. I look soooooo scared. It was a lot of fun though!!!!

2008 NBA Champions!!!!

Ten days till I am able to upgrade my phone!!!!! Yeah!!!

So Long, Farewell.......For now anyways....

Last night Rachel came up with me to the horses to say goodbye to her favorite horse Blaze. She was not aware that I was recording a video instead of taking pictures. That made it even more special.......

----------------------------

It has been a year since Saylor lost his eye. He has adjusted very well, and I am glad I made the decision I did.

I have just finished house/ dog sitting for my boss and her husband. It was the second time in the past two months that I have stayed there for ten days or more. This time was by far the worse. The dogs ( especially the puppy) got into trouble almost everyday. From eating the hostas in the garden, to jumping on the counter and getting into everything. Then this past weekend, Carolyn's car would not start. So needless to say, I was very glad when they came home.

Anyways, this is how my mornings usually started. They really get excited when they know you are going to get out of bed and feed them.

What happens when you watch 5 dogs from 3 different households at the same time??????? You go crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This past weekend, some friends and I attended a schooling show held over in Woodstock. The weekend didn't start out very good especially considering that it was cold and raining. When we arrived in at the show grounds, we discovered that we had forgotten to bring hay. I then had to go to my friend Beth, who happens to live about 2 minutes away to "beg" for some hay. When she came to the door she excitedly told me that she was on the phone with Kelly. I was able to talk briefly with Kelly, and Beth was gracious enough to give me hay, as long as I brought some over for her on Sunday. The show was okay. It isn't any fun for the horses or the riders to be out in the cold and rain. There were some horses who decided to show their naughty side, and Saylor was one of them. Hopefully in June at the next show, it will be sunny and warm!!!

You know you need new contacts when.......

I left work early on Wednesday to go to my appointment at my eye doctors. I usually wait till I can tell that I need a new prescription to make an appointment. Anyways, I went my appointment, and yes I did need a new prescription. He had me put in a new pair of contacts to see if they would be the right strength. The contacts were the right strength, and he let me keep them!! A free pair of contacts is always greatly appreciated. Then I paid for the appointment...............

Anyways, I returned to work to get ready for my Access class. As I was sitting at my desk, I happened to look out the window, and I was amazed at how fast the buds on the trees had opened just since that morning. It was simply amazing!!!

Then I remembered, I had new contacts.........
