Crochet Me Crazy

Someone posted this on Facebook and I liked it so much, I wanted to save it here on my blog!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

We were invited to the ranch owner's house for Christmas Eve. It was sorta a low key get together and they invited a couple of our neighbor's that we know as well. It was a lot of fun getting together and getting to know everyone better. They served a WONDERFUL prime rib with horse radish sauce from a cow raised right here on the ranch. It was absolutely scrumptuous! They were amazingly generous and gave us gifts....really, it was quite nice. Both of the kids got nice shirt jackets and the kids and I all got very generous gift cards. Michael for Tandy Leather Factor and Alison and I for a local store. Jeff got money...a generous amount I guess you could call a bonus pay! Really, we are very blessed to be here. We have a mutually appreciative relationship with them...we appreciate them and they appreciate us very much as well.... very lovely people.

Today, we served basically a meal of appetizers....we didn't even end up cooking the steaks like the planned. We decided we'll just make those tomorrow. We just can't eat as much as we used to ... any of us.

Grace is really getting fast. I'm watching that leg and even though she seems to be using it more than ever, I'm worried about that hoof. It's just dead and I'm hoping it's not spreading up her leg. She's losing some hair above it now. I guess we'll just let nature take it's course and see what happens. She still uses it and she's getting faster and faster. She pretty much runs from everyone but me now. I go in there and she just follows me around...puts her head on me... wants me to scratch her... feed her. As long as it's just me and her alone...she's as relaxed as she can be. I guess because since she's moved to the barn, I'm the one that pretty much takes care of her. I usually go see her several times a day and sit with her.
