Halloween Parade (and the last day of pictures!)

So I kinda skimped on the pictures yesterday, but thats ok, because I have whole bunch for today!

 

Yep, the classic Pescadero Elementary School Halloween Parade!

 

 

Yeah! My sister and I were dressed as football players, and Riley was a cheerleader (Eli was supposed to be one too but  I left everything till the last minute and he didn’t have a costume, or a bath!)

This would be a pretty awesome horse to have!

 

So I had a whole post all written out about all the different horses I am looking at, but then when I went back to this boys ad I had to stop and reconsider.

 

Lets look at this objectivly, I want to do endurance now, but I also want to do the conditioning on the horse myself. So where is the compromise?

If I truely wanted to do really well in this sport, THIS is the gelding to buy. Yes he is old, but he still has plenty of years of competing left in him. And who knows where I might be in 10 years anyway!

 

I still have moments of not knowing if I even want to continue my endurance horse search, and rather just work with Lucy with eventing again. But on the other hand I would LOVE if I could do both, or at least dabble in eventing with Lucy.

 

So enough talk! Who is this amazing horse you ask? Just take a look!

His record:

I talked with this woman briefly a couple weeks ago but she wasn’t interested in a least to own or payments. So I didn’t talk with her again until I saw his ad again today, so I e-mailed her again. Awaiting responce.

 

Sorry for the real post and not just pictures! I will post my pictures tomorrow!

 


Thanks!

“Monday Monday!”

Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.
Monday Monday, can't trust that day,
Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how yould cou leave and not take me.
Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday Monday, so good to me,
Monday Monday, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday morning, Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That Monday evening you would still be here with me.
Every other day, every other day,
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
You can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday Monday, ...

 

 

Oddly enough Monday didn’t find me crying, for once. But I was distracted beyond all belief! Very annoying, I got hardly any work done at all. I hope I bounce back fairly quick after I put Kezi down. But enough talk,pictures!!!! I took all of these about 5 minutes ago! haha!
