Lena has joined the family!!! A week ago Saturday, Mom, me, Lydia and Levi went to look at a horse on the other side of the state. She was an 18 year old Qrt Horse mare. She was working at a riding stable but the other horses were beating her up. She was covered in cuts and scrapes. Jan, the lady that owned her said she just needed to be in a family home with a few horses. We spent nearly an hour riding her and she was sweet as can be. Lydia rode her with no problem and I rode her bareback with a halter and lead rope. She really was a sweet girl. So last Saturday, Dad and I went alone to pick her up. Jan had her in a pen by herself...Lena had lost a lot more weight than when we had seen her. She is home now and alone in her own pasture. She seems very happy that way. Eventually we'll turn her out with the others, but we wanted her to settle in first. Lydia, Levi and I rode her in the pasture today and she did great. She needs a lot of tlc but I'm sure will bring her around. I don't have any pictures of her yet, but hopefully soon.
After we picked her up, Dad realized we were only 20 minutes from Lake Michigan. I had never been there, so he took me. We walked down a whole flight of stairs to the beach and dipped our toes into the cool water. Such a treat!! Pictures coming soon of that too.
My dad's brother and his family were staying at my grandparents across the road for the weekend. We had so much fun with the five cousins!! Carina, Evan, Kadean, Moriah and Quintin. We hadn't met Quintin before, he's 15 months now and sooooo cute!!! We had a blast do horse rides, fireworks, tractor rides, s'mores and lots more!!! Mom took lots of pictures and videos as usual...I just have to get them off the computer and (yawn) I'm too lazy to do it right now!!! Anyway, I'll get a bunch of pictures up soon!!
I'm on page 35-36...I can't remember which...in the third book....the story is getting exciting!!!!
I don't know how much I'll post this week....I'll be working at the auction hall every day....we're picturing right now.
Hope everyone is enjoying our lovely summer!!
