Five Alarm Pizza

Well, the girls here at work, plus myself decided to have the very hard left over pizza for dinner.
Gwen: "How long should I heat this for?"
Me: "Oh, about 3 minutes."

Gwen walks away in to her office leaving me, Blanche and Berline in the box office.

I am plating a piece of pizza for myself while the other two girls are on the phone.

Me: "What's Burning??"
ALL: OMG The pizza is on fire!"

I run over to the microwave, open the door only to pull out one piece of SMOKIN' pizza.

With smoke everywhere in the box office, Gwen running to grab...of all things the aerosol air freshner can, which was being sprayed by her, I am running the plate of fired up pizza to the tap to douse it with water and as for the college....well, at least the sprinklers didn't go off....only the fire alarms!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Well, needless to say, we cleared the college....What day is it again?

October

Its fall, my favourite season. Watching all the leaves turn beautiful oranges and yellows. Its great horse back riding weather. The colts are brought in off their mothers and we can start working with them.

The combing is in full swing.

When I was little, I always enjoyed helping grama fix the lunches for the men on the field. Their faces black with dirt, their hands spackled with grease, and their clothes dusty and dirty and the smell coming from the freshly combined rows was like I had died and gone to heaven.

This is the season to get the last of the hay bales off the flat. This is the time for canning, pulling the rest of the veggies out of the garden. This is the time for Thanksgiving....October is a good month.

Survivor

Yay! A new season of one of my favourite reality tv shows are back on again....yup....Survivor!!

Yes, I am one of thossssse people. I also really, really enjoy and laugh the hell out of myself over Wipeout.

Wipeout makes me cry, I laugh so hard. The big red bouncy balls do it for me every time.


Gotta love the balls!

Lake Louise

Rocked!

Well, Bon Jovi and Kid Rock were great!!

I didn't think I would really like Kid Rock but he is a really good entertainer!

Of course Bon Jovi was GRRREAT! He has beautiful teeth!

I had Buster's birthday party and things went fairly well. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I was a little stressed due to the fact that there were sooooo many little kids there. I am not used to little kids and there were 7 there, I think! There were alot in any case. I don't like it when people show up and let others look after their kids. Buster's sister-in-law did that and Im not their mom, so therefore, look after your kids!

I'll look after my own but it up to others to watch theirs....ugh.


We are getting ready to go on holidays and I am quite excited about it. I can't wait.

I'm also pretty excited about heading over to Wilma's for the weekend. I only wish Buster was home to go with. I am checking my four legged kid into the doggy hotel for two nights and am taking my lawn chair and some kind of meat and beverages. I haven't quite decided...steak and chicken or ribs....hmmmmm

Our first....

Here he is...our first baby this year.

Obie!

His name is Obie for two reasons....
1). This year we are on the "o"s which means we have been breeding horses for 15 plus years. and this is the year of the "O".
2). He is named Obie after my grandfather. Our last name is Obal and when grapa was in the Canadian Army - Drill Sgt....Obie was grapas nickname.

According to Ma Kettle he is pretty sweet and very tame. Can't wait to meet him on May long weekend!




I also got news that three of my beloved horses are not well. This baffles me as they were healthy as horses...if you pardon the pun, when I dropped them off at mom's last fall.

My boy, Bosley has string halt and my other two older mares are down on weight and if they don't pick up soon on the oats, oil and beet pulp, I will have to make some very, very tough decisions. Decisions that I am not ready for yet.

Bosley has been with me since he was two and is now in his late twenties. We have been to many, many horse shows, winning left, right and center. Jeannie has back and hip problems and is in her early twenties. She too, is a show horse. She has taken me to many a championship as well. I broke her as a two year old for a neighbour and after I spent a month with her, he then sold her, I found out to who (now I know why she has back and hip problems) and about 5 years later was able to buy her back and she has been with me ever since. Tuffy is in her early thirties and has been with us for many years. We bought her from the States...Montana, I do believe....she is my mom's trail horse and has given us many a foal and many years of pleasure in the bush and along the creek.

My heart aches thinking about the future deeds. I am heading home May long weekend and with the Equine Massage Therapy under my belt, I am hoping to help them all out. Doing this type of work in the winter is useless. The cold just makes them tense up again and makes things worse. Best just to leave well enough alone til it warms up.

My horses are my best friends. They have helped me overcome sadness. They have brought me hours and hours of enjoyment, happiness and laughter. I trust them with my life. I honestly can't say that about people. Mind you, horses I can read better than anything. People...not so much!

I can't imagine my life without those four legged creatures.

Can't imagine at all.
