I got to do two of my favorite things today! Scrapbook and ride my horse! Doesn’t get much better than that! A friend of mine from church helps out at the Scrapbook store occasionally when the owner has to be gone and she was there today. She invited me to come down and scrapbook. It’s been pretty quiet at the store since the new Super Center Walmart opened yesterday. I plan to avoid it for at least a week or more to let the new wear off!
I went to the
horses around 7pm. It was still 96 degrees! But it was dropping and there was a
breeze which was nice. I rode with my new riding buddy Leslie (15). We decided
to just ride around the pasture and then down the road a short distance. We
rode about an hour and a half. It felt so good to be back in the saddle again.
I hate my life being so busy and the horses being so far away. I know I would
ride more if they were out my back door. Thankfully that day will come
Dad is doing MUCH BETTER! I talked to him today and he sounded much stronger. He admitted he was pretty tired when I called yesterday. He said they had him sitting in a chair today. He said he should go to a room tomorrow. He had more company today too. He said the chaplain came by to see him. I said “I bet that was a little weird” He said “Yeah, it’s a little different being on the other side”. In case this is the first time for you to visit my site, my Dad is a Southern Baptist Minister. He has made countless hospital visits but I believe this is his first to be on the receiving end!
I talked to my Mom today and she said that my aunt (her sister) was going to share an email I had sent to her about an incident that happened Monday. She thought it was hysterical so I’ll share with you. My Aunt was telling me about dog sitting. Here’s where my reply comes in.
Speaking of dog-sitting...I've been
doing that a lot lately! I think I've spent more time with Kaidence than Keannon
or Vanessa! I think I've turned into a convenience for them. Don't get me wrong
I love Kaidence but she's a puppy and if I wanted a puppy I would have gotten
one! She requires a lot of attention that neither Vanessa or Keannon are giving
her right now. Today when I came home from work I walked into a disaster! I was
met at the door by Kaidence and Mercy. I put Kaidence in her kennel when no one
is home. When I walked into the house, stuff was EVERYWHERE! When I walked in
the hall way I found three poop piles and two pee spots. I called Vanessa at
the store immediately and asked her if she left Kaidence out of the kennel on
purpose. She said yes because she would only be home for a couple of hours
alone. I told her very firmly that if she was going to stay at my house she
would have to be kenneled if know one was home. No exceptions! As I made my way
to my bedroom there were clothes and shoes scattered everywhere!. The cat's
food was completely gone and the water bowl had disappeared. The only thing
that made me feel some justice is that Kaidence had chewed up one of Vanessa’s
nicer flipflops with sequins! (Serves her right)!
Excerpt from my journal October 1999
You
worry too much. Is anything to hard for Me?
No,
Father. Nothing absolutely nothing is too hard for you.
Then
quit worrying. It won’t make things happen any faster.
Therefore know this day, and
consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on
the earth beneath; there is no other. Deuteronomy 4:39
