Your hus...Well, you've got the right attitude! Your husband should be happy. ;) I know how you feel about planning ahead--it's not my thing either--but has its place since it does help to motivate. I also worry about trailer dynamics. Maybe Ladde needs some refresher trailer training. I'd hate to think you couldn't take him since your hubby likes to ride him. On the other hand, you don't want Eags to have a bad experience either. Tough call! <br /><br />We almost bought a cabin, but it fell through because of the well. I think we were finding that we were getting bored with work, work, work, and fantasized about life on the lake. I was so relieved when it fell through because I realized we just need to take advantage of our time off and do more fun things together. We started this weekend by going to a night festival (where I bought some awesome handmade jewelry and a beautiful QUILT..I need to blog about that.) and we went to see Dark Horse, and we took the dogs on a new hike. We've also started planning some road trips, and we're going to rent a lake cabin in the off-season to have our kids and families join us at. (big savings from buying one!) So, I think your advice is good--seize the day and the moments of the day!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303523299217618526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-72557203314983472892016-07-18T01:29:05.427-07:002016-07-18T01:29:05.427-07:00I love that pic of you and Missy. :)
Naughty C...I love that pic of you and Missy. :) <br /><br />Naughty Charlotte! Mine both crunch up mice and even rats that they catch, a horrible habit but at least it's a quick death. I can't use any poison, even stuff well out of reach of dogs in case they catch and chomp up a poisoned rat. Instead we have periodic rat and mouse hunts around the outbuildings, which they adore. <br /><br />Hopefully Charlotee will grow out of being a 'stinky roller' as we call it. They often seem to be less keen as they mature, maybe because they start to associate smelling so 'lovely' with horrible baths. :D I hope you get your camping trip with Eags and Ladde! Crossing my fingers for you!<br /><br />It is winter here but our winter adventure this week was to go to the local folk and blues club to listen to whoever they had booked for that month's concert, something we used to do but haven't done in years. It was a lovely night! so much talent and good feeling. Yay for all the people making and loving music in the world! T.L.

Maybe if you put Eagle in first Ladde won't be such a brat next time and he'll want to go for an adventure. Fingers crossed for that.<br /><br />Charlotte, oh no a dead mouse! Uck! I can believe the roll in the stench and have no idea why they do that. My poor Maggie once got skunked about 11 at night and that was a long stinky night. Unfortunately, the smell didn't really go away for about a week. <br /><br />Riding on other people's property can be annoying but at least they let you do it. My question is how do they expect you to clean up a poop pile while you're riding. Guess you could bring along a bag like they have in the city for dogs!<br /><br />Hope Harley's eye heals quickly. Poor guy.<br /><br />Love your flowers they're so pretty I think it's worth the work just to be able to enjoy them. <br /><br />Happy Anniversary! Go to the beach and take a blanket to keep the sand where it belongs!Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534808870944137638.post-14874213970120958932016-07-15T09:09:44.975-07:002016-07-15T09:09:44.975-07:00Sounds like you've got a reasonable next step ...Sounds like you've got a reasonable next step for you & Eagle. Just think, you'll be living your long awaited dream in no time!! Hope Laddie changes his mind and wants in on the fun, silly boy. Maybe he just didn't feel like working that day. I love riding in good footing, makes such a difference. Using others properties usually comes with restrictions, sigh. Trust me, I know...but we smile & nod, and dream of "greener pastures". When that doesn't work any longer, we pick up our toys and go somewhere else. Have you ever looked for a trailhead close to your place? No one wants to trailer every time they ride, but when our boys lived at home we ended up finding a multi use county park just 6 miles from home that we never knew about. It gave us another close-by trail option. Poor Harley, hope he heals well. I see Charlotte likes plastic 2 liter bottles - my grand pup lives with us and loves them too! Wow, thats a beautiful flower arrangement! You've not only got a green thumb, you've got a good eye. Hope you get to enjoy the beach, and the sand stays where it should ~ ha ha!!aurorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731529798233954353noreply@blogger.com
