It was windy and the mares were being silly-cow hopping and acting the fool. This is Casper's girlfriend Dazzle-at least HE thinks so.

This place is a bad bad place-many extra dollars spent here....LOL.

In his dreams, she runs to him, nostrils flaring, mane flying. In reality......
She gives him the cold shoulder-LOOK, but don't touch or I'll kick you in the teeth bad boy!
More mare nonsense-just running cause they can!

Photos from Texas/Oklahoma
A stream by the condo.
LOOK-blue sky in San Antonio!
Oh yeah, I remembered the Alamo.
There were people on my trip but I never know who cares and who doesn't care for pictures posted, so I usually don't just to be safe. Ok, I admit it-the nikon shoots better than the purse cam.
Home Home Home
Not all of us yet-Oliver and the little dogs come home today. I am downloading Norton-I picked up a nasty virus while I was gone. I will upload pics from Starbucks, but I'm not doing anything involving a credit card-sorry if you guys got weird mail from me while I was gone.
I can't put any pics up now-the virus scan is taking all my processing time....LOL, but I got some great ones. I left my handy purse cam at home and made myself learn to use the NIKON. OMIGOD. I kept getting separated from the group because I'd wonder off looking at the light and how it hit this brick or that flower....LOL. Fortunately I have friends who either understand it totally or tolerate it as a charming quirk.
There was SUN in Texas-and the sun and the shadows just blew my little brain-LOOK-sunlight on a leaf....OH LOOK_sun on the water...LOOKIE LOOKIE-a SHADOW!
Yet another lower end movie cam has been banished-I LOATHE it. It was on Austin Duty and I missed great shots. I'm putting it in the drawer though-it's water proof-and better than nothing-but reliable enough for the most casual trip-NOT. I went to the camera store and had someone let me try out what they had-I found a sony that is a younger sibling to my good but heavy one-and it works the same way and uses the same batteries-SCORE. It wasn't cheap-but it wasn't too bad either-it's not high def so it was marked down.
I'm feeling some moving picture pressure. I am going to the AKC agility nationals at the end of the month-and still shots are nice, but video is really needed. I am working on a commercial website now, and I have to be current on all the bells and whistles to compete with other web sites. WAAAAH.
Norton is still scanning but I need to move on for now. Anyway-I'm home!

Haiku Bones-Pregnant
Burst forth with new life
Scatter stardust to the wind
Possibilities
*****************************************************************
For more haiku visit Haiku Bones.
******************************************************************
I'm back in town-gotta clean a virus off the laptop-sorry if you've been getting weird e-mail. Piles of mail and post cards and such to sort out. Limping still, but maybe not as much. Vacay was wonderful-many fine friends, much fine food, some great photo ops, new perspectives and all the things a vacation is supposed to bring.
I've had a Casper visit (fat and happy) and the three BC's are home. Monday I get the small dog crew and Mister Bird. He (Oliver) was wayyyyy to interested in his surroundings when I left him, so I am sure he's got new tricks to show me when he comes home-heaven help us all. At least there were no macaws or really LOUD birds there when I dropped him off-those tricks I can do without.

Gone Soon
I'm heading out for Texas in a few hours. I will pick a friend up at the DFW airport and we'll head south from there to Canyon Lake. The house feels empty without the dogs and OTP. I'm tired and my back and legs still hurt, but I am very much excited about seeing friends, maybe dancing, maybe a glass of wine.....all that kind of stuff I don't get to do very often.
Be safe while I'm gone, be kind to each other.

Suited For Re Entry Major Tom
In order to clean up the house a bit and do laundry to ready myself for vacation I have resorted to artificial aids. I did some research and ordered a groin brace-and it's not here yet and I have things to do.
I tried a do it yourself wrap job which convinced me the brace will work well-but the wrap wasn't so great. So, I bought compression shorts. This is basically a half of a wet suit, but I know from my bogs (muck boots) neoprene really does keep the muscles warm.
So, today I suited up to do the dishes. I am wearing undies and a workout bra/tank top combo. On top of that I have a compression shorts. I have a t shirt. I have capri pants AND a soft ankle calf brace from foot to knee.
As luck would have it the hip/thigh/groin that is wobbly is right on top of my forever wobbly ankle, and a twist of any of the those would probably set off an unfortunate chain reaction that I don't even want to contemplate.
I don't really care what it all looks like IF it will work and buy me some work time.
Oh, I also have a donut pillow to increase my sitting time...I pretty much mangled my sit bone area. At least I can sit through an 30 minute show now...progress!
