It’s like Pavlov’s Dogs in the winter around here. My horses see me.  They come running. I know they like me, but they LOVE what I represent. Groceries. Now this all takes place in silence because obviously horses can’t talk. So I am going to interpret their body language for you. At least this what […]

T.H. (Trophy Husband) went to Colorado on business for two days so I guess that left me in charge. That means I’m the boss of me. So being the boss of me, I decided to give myself a day off. Not really. The only thing he asked me to do while he was gone was to […]
