A City Girl's Life In The Country

This life never fails to amaze me...   Just when I figured they were ready to turn off my water, electric, cable and all my beloved Robert although gone now for over a year, came through again for me.  This time, with the sale of his late stepdad's mobile home in Pismo Beach and my recieving his share of money from the sale. 

Things had gotten so bad that I even placed my equine crew up for sale!  The funny thing about it is that I got the most responses from the add for Robert's horse, Buddy.

I've had some "different" responses to Buddy's add.  Most, when I tell them that he "Wind Sucks", "Digs" and is "Navicular", RUN very fast in the opposite direction!  Some had intelligence enough to read on and find out that he's one of the smartest horses I've ever known.  He's been a GREAT lesson horse and took care of Robert before his injury at work and he could ride.

Anyway, once the money came in I got Buddy his EPONA shoes and he can go to work with the rest. 

I also "clipped" the whole crew.  Grey, Babe and Cali all got bridlepathed, ears done and booted.  Buddy, got the "WORKS" which means seeing how he rubbed out his mane, he got his mane ROACHED, which means shaved, so it can all grow out evenly.

And Cali's gotten so BIG!!!!!!  I'm so proud of her!

She's already at 15.2 hands and won't be 3 until the 26th of this month.

Then, there's Babe...  She's due to foal in May and you can tell she's gonna be a mommy soon!

She REALLY needs her mane pulled!

Yesterday, I went to Bakersfield with Robert, my handyman.  He wouldn't take money for all his help around here since Robert passed away and money got tight, so I treated him to lunch at my favorite Sushi Kato.  We both ate WAY too much but boy was it good!  Then went to Wally World (Walmart) shopped a little there for some necessities and then on to Costco, where I stocked up for the rest of the year!

This morning once 10AM comes around, I'll be on the phone with the DISH guy, the VET (Time for shots) and a couple of other places...  Oh joy!

Later that same day...

Thought I'd add a little bit more...  My turn to berate "Best Buy" and their sales force and their "insurance for pcs" coverage...  I am NOT a happy camper and think in the future, I'll spend my hard earned cash at someplace else, like Costco.

Back on June 21st, 2005 I got Robert a pc that would supposedly do all sorts of things BESIDES play all his beloved video games.  It was suppose to even convert VHS tapes to DVDs.  Guess what?  That ain't gonna happen!  I've called a couple of times about that pc with operation problems and have been told that the coverage does NOT include software that WE had them install...  (Oh joy!)  NOR printer problems because we didn't buy insurance for the stupid printer when we bought it at good old, (You got it!) Best Buy.

Good thing we bought the other two computers at Costco!  Half the price and the same basic coverage...ROFLOL
