first week of 2011…

… is just passing as quickly as the weeks before? Here I thought we’d get a break and the new year might go a bit slower so we can sit back and enjoy it… doesn’t seem to happen. We just got done loading two two year olds that will go to the training center/track to get started with their (hopefully) racing career. Our days here are up and down in temps and it’s hard to dress ourselves and the horses approprietly. Layers upon layers – on and off and on and off…we actually gotten so used to the cold that 30′s doesn’t seem cold anymore LOL – how’s THAT for a change?! However it does irk us when we read up on Zurich’s temps and they are WARMER than us in the Sunshine State of FLORIDA! So much for our global warming, huh? Not much has actually happened this first week… we try to watch our food intake a bit more and hopefully shed the Christmas pounds soon so we don’t have to pack them through out the year… but then there is this getting-together and that getting-together and soon our diet looks like “hopefully we don’t gain more!” – LOL…. life’s still busy… thank God! We are happy to still have work and plenty to do, even though we have slowed down as well just like everyone else. Mom’s big birthday – her 70th – is just around the corner … then Dad’s who will be 80 this year … WOW! We are very fortunate to still have them with us and hope to be able to say that for many more years! – well, right now we are sitting here in the house, chores are done, some horses shipped out already and warming up over a cup of coffee. Then off we go and tackle the new day – TGIF. We’ll be over at our neighbors this evening… it’s been so long – unreal! This past year has gone by so quickly we hardly have time to visit with them – time to change that and time to catch up!!! We hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!
