10/4/16 I love this time of year. The days are warm and sunny and the nights are cool. We haven’t had the air conditioner on in a couple weeks. The windows are all open and the breeze blows in fresh. I can pick an apple each day off our trees and enjoy them fresh and ripe. The combines are running full force all around. I look forward to finishing school with the kids so we can go out and enjoy the outdoors in the afternoons.. I feel sorry for the kids cooped up indoors on these nice days and for people working in an office. I know I take my freedom for granted. I am so fortunate for the life we live.
Today Jayden took her Aunt Alice with her to go look at a horse. Jayden has been wanting a project horse for about a year. We told her to stay focused on her rodeo season and her horse Ace, then after rodeo season we would consider letting her find something. Right after her last rodeo, she was online researching. She had been searching all year long, but now with intention. She found a 3 year old in Exira. Aunt Alice agreed to take her and I thought that would be fun for them to have that time together. Jayden found Alice’s most recent purchased horse for her by searching online. She found her a Tennessee Walker Palomino named. She is working out nicely for Alice. Today they went and checked out the horse and Jayden came home very excited about the horse.
10/10/16 After more texts and calls, Jayden felt like the
3 year old bay colt is something she wanted to invest in. Today we met the owner
at the ISU vet school to have a pre-vet purchase exam done. The vet was very
thorough and checked over every inch of the horse. There were no serious red
flags. This decision was all Jayden and she is investing her own hard earned money into
purchasing the horse. She wrote the biggest check she has ever written today. We bought her Ace, from here on out, it is up to her to chose and buy horses. She has waited a long time to buy a horse.
Luke was invited to his frined Alex L's house for a sleepover. I am so glad Luke has a friend his age to spend time with, He was in school with him and now church. He is also a farm boy and they have a lot in common.
