The good things: May 2014
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
My family, my friends. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. I walk dogs with another woman from the neighborhood. Of course while we walk we talk. She claims talking to me is the best therapy money can't buy. As we walk she (mostly) complains about everything in her life. I come home from these walks and I am SO HAPPY! I am outrageously happy that I am NOT married to her husband, I DO NOT have to put up with her kids, and my dog DOES NOT poop all over my house! I have created an immensely delightful life for myself!

The good things: Good Break
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2015/03/good-break.html
My family, my friends. Tuesday, March 3, 2015. Blondie spent two days on the boogie board. It was much warmer than usual, I actually went out with her and didn't even have a wet suit. After her time in Oregon, Blondie has become a boogie board master. She even got Red out for an afternoon and the two of them really had fun. Hubby said his goal was to get bored, and he didn't really make it. It was a really lovely vacation, it is just hard to balance wanting to stay longer, and wanting to come home. My to...

The good things: March 2015

My family, my friends. Friday, March 13, 2015. The Perils of Snowboarding. From there, I drove him to the insta care clinic, where x-rays showed the ankle was cracked and he had a separated collarbone. You can see in the picture how the shoulder on the left (his right) has a hiccup in it, you can see the bump of the collar bone sticking up. The one on the right connects smoothly to the top of his shoulder. Hubby went to the doctor today, we held out for an appointment with the. The worry was that he was ...

The good things: Holiday Break
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2015/01/holiday-break.html
My family, my friends. Saturday, January 3, 2015. It's been a great Christmas and the whole holiday has been wonderful! First - I ordered Hubby's Christmas cards early. Then I was on top of his chocolate - what he sends out to clients. Yay! About that… Hubby told me I need to have The Santa Discussion with the girls. My family have always been Believers. Long before we came into the picture my mother made it eminently clear to my father that Santa would fill her stocking every year or else! Blondie said ...

The good things: September 2014
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
My family, my friends. Friday, September 26, 2014. I expect most people who read this blog are people I know. But in the interest of internet privacy I am going to be cryptic anyway. Trixe starts to argue. Blondie says, "Do you know what Greek Mythology is? Do you know who Hercules is? Hercules came from Greece. My name is a Greek word which means "Life." And that is how it is spelled in Greek. If you change the Greek word it won't mean "Life" anymore, it will just be a plain old word.". It involved miss...

The good things: February 2014
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
My family, my friends. Monday, February 3, 2014. It's not that I skipped Christmas… No, though I did read the book but that's not what I mean. I just meant that I haven't written about our Holiday! Then it was briefly HORRIBLE! Then it was mostly GREAT! Let's just skip right to the horrible. So in order to erase that unpleasant memory from their brains, the girls decided they wanted to revive a Christmas Tradition we had performed a couple of times in years past and go Sledding in the Avenues! He nailed ...

My family, my friends. Saturday, February 7, 2015. Zen at The Barn. I have learned a lot about horses since we bought this one, Bones. This is the horse chiropractor giving him some acupuncture. Backtrack a month or so. The woman who half leased him from us told me he had scratches on his feet. I thought so what, he got scratched somehow, it will heal. Whatever. Oh how wrong I was. Apparently SCRATCHES is the layman's term for TERMINAL ATHLETE'S FOOT of the horse. Sort of. It was awful! So Bones is back,...

The good things: The Chicken
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-chicken.html
My family, my friends. Sunday, June 7, 2015. There are two big schooling shows for eventers each year - eventing being what Blondie does where she rides dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country jumping. Anyway there are many smaller shows but the big ones seem to be the Spring Chicken and the Fall Pumpkin, both held at the Golden Spike fairgrounds. Last Fall she went to the Pumpkin and took 2nd place in the Junior Grasshopper division, which is the entry level division. I spent half an hour trying to...

The good things: Now She's Broken Both Arms
http://gotchernose.blogspot.com/2014/03/now-shes-broken-both-arms.html
My family, my friends. Saturday, March 15, 2014. Now She's Broken Both Arms. Thing 2 broke her arm a. Couple years ago coming off the back of a horse. It was her right arm, at the elbow. She broke it the summer we moved. It took Thing 1 and her friend another 45 minutes or so to find us. They made it to the bottom of the gondola and looked around for us, then borrowed a cell phone from one of the resort workers. I told her "We're at the Base Clinic! I looked at the guy. I am in ski boots, two of the ...

My family, my friends. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. My Most Favorite Painting. Now that I say that… there are other paintings my girls have done that I really really like. But today I'm going to say my most favorite is the one we commissioned a friend of mine to do. I saw one she painted for someone else, and just loved it. So I contacted her about doing one for us, and she did! Her name is Shelly Peters and her youngest son is Blondie's age. I am very tickled with it! Links to this post. About that̷...
