Can I get an Amen?

I'm not knocking any religion. Really I'm not. But, at what point do the missionaries-soldiers of God-sharers of faith-get the point? No, I am not interested in joining your church. I have one that has currently disowned me because of a divorce. But, this new pope has the church rethinking its views on homosexuals and I figure divorcees aren't too far behind. Not holding my breath you understand. Does it not say something to  you that every three weeks when you stop to share your faith that I am in my pajamas? Yes, you can leave your literature. Let's discuss it after I've had a cup of coffee and am thinking straight-let's say sometime between midnight and one am. Put your number on the programs and I'll be sure to call then or maybe at my break sometime around 4 am. I really do admire the courage it takes to share your faith with strangers, but at this point in time- you know my name, where I live, and the colors of my slippers. How is it that the fact that I work all night continually slips your mind? That's right Sister, while you're all snug and comfy in your warm bed I'm out earning a pay check.

Bambi down

I got my first deer this season. A doe shot on the first day in modern gun. Fluffy was really impressed.

Fall 2013

If some of these seem a little off center, chalk it up to the fact that they were taken from the back of a Harley. This is part of the reason I love living in the Boston Mountains, but I did a terrible job of capturing all of the colors.

Kate on Kate

Doctors tell Dwight it is not a good idea for him to go horse back riding for an extended period of time due to the blood clots he has had in his leg. For me that means, I have to be willing to ride by myself on a horse that I can control in all situations. Sassy has been a wonderful horse and will always be my first-but it takes a strong hand to control her-and sometimes I don't think it's wise for me to ride her alone. So the decision was made for me to retire Sassy. I unexpectedly got a call to come look at a horse. She's shorter than Sassy. She's very gentle. I went to ride her and she responds well. I can climb on her, make her speed up and slow down, calm her when she acts up, and I can make her figure 8 and back up. The trainer that had her needed a younger horse. One with a little more pep in her step. Sassy was exactly what she was looking for. Did I mention the horse she wanted to get rid of was named "Kate"?  The trainer was very excited to get Sassy and I'm equally excited about having Kate join us.
