Hi Chris: We missed your shining face at the barn with the saddler. I took a day off the sales game and stayed and watched the show. Man, she took a lot out of Spuds saddle as far as stuffing. I guess he has his own stuffing now. It was an interesting day. How did you end up with no car. Hope you are ok! G

Hi Chris: I gather from your Facebook posts, that you are clearing out your Dad's house. How is it going. One thing we did when my mother's house needed the same thing was to call Goodwill Services. That was 17 years ago but they can appraise antiques and will clear out cupboards and take ordinary dishes etc that are not wanted. As I say, it was 17 years ago but perhaps they still offer that service.

On another note, again work has sidelined me from the barn again this week. Tomorrow is supposed to be good weather. Later! Gail.

I did not hear back to see how your new year is setting up to be with horse and father.  I hope all is well in all areas and that you have a good year.
