Planned trips

Today is another beautiful day that just begs my attention. I had so much fun outside with the dogs and my horse yesterday, I almost feel guilty about it! (naw, not really **G**)

Alas, I have things to do, mostly to get ready for our trip to Columbus, OH. We leave tonight after my DH gets home from Chicago and we'll be taking our travel-trailer. Saturday and Sunday we'll be at the VCGC Hunt Test - hopefully to finish our pup, Kelly (CH Valcour American Idol) in her Master Hunting title. Here's a pic of her retrieving a chukar during training. She's a cutie and so talented!

Then we move to Alum Creek State Park outside Columbus for 5-7 days while hubby works with a company there on a new project. If that project gets approved, we'll move down to Columbus for a couple months.

The only bad thing is that I don't have internet access on my laptop. So, I may be AWOL for about a week. Should be fun, though. And it will force my butt in chair to WRITE.

Indian Summer time

Cool! I just figured out how to add images to this blog. I admit I havent' actually spent a lot of time "trying" to put photos here, but hey, it's fun. This is a pic of Bogey (my horse) and Deuce (my DH's). The photo is from last November, about this same time of year. See the snow on the ground? Ick!

But today - Oh, man, it's so gorgeous outside! I find this kind of weather - sunny, mid-70's - irresistable. I really should stay inside, chew some more on my last chapter and finish my synopsis of Family Jewels. BUT -- the last bit of wonderful weather is too nice to pass up. So I'm going out. ALL DAY. I have some shopping to do, and I'll take my dogs the long way around the lake for their walk. Then I'm going to saddle up that cute buckskin horse and go for a really long trail ride. The leaves are falling and we're at peak color right now. It should be food for my soul...

See ya'll tomorrow.
