Accomplished

Peace at last. 

Name changes complete, my new Notary stamp has arrived and we're back in business again. Had to pause waiting for the bond, license and stamp to all get changed over to my legal last name. 

Social security review complete and approved for my benefit change over. New income, new requirements. Still not sure what it does with the medical. That's the only thing left to get updated. 

Feels like I can breathe again. 

The holidays are approaching fast! Christmas shopping the next task to complete. Looking for gift ideas, I'm thinking Scentsy this year. Still haven't decided if we are going to decorate around here. Since moving up here my son and his family have been the only one's to make the drive.

I have a series of 6 of Washington's most popular light houses on mugs and tote bags for the light house lovers out there. Anyone looking for personalized gifts visit our custom products page for things we can make for you. I've done tree ornaments and mugs for the family a couple years ago. I have a new great grandson I need to make the ornament for my granddaughter this year.

My youngest granddaughter came up to spend the night and go riding last weekend, while we were at the barn we discovered my horse had 'cow poop' instead of horse poop. While I was there, I witnessed the neighbor throwing a bunch of apples over the fence. Hence the reason my horse had an upset tummy. It caused me to start looking for a place closer to home. Quite disturbing for me as she isn't supposed to have any apple. 

I found a place nearby to move my horse, affordable, unfortunately too much pasture for her with the Cushing's issue. I have to have more control over her diet and grass intake to keep her healthy. My friends horse continually had diarrhea before she passed, I'm guessing this was why. She had no idea what the neighbor was giving her horses. 

People shouldn't feed other people's horses without the owner's consent period. 

In the past I had a horse that was allergic to carrots. God forbid anyone would have given him one, they could have killed him. FYI too much apple can disrupt a horse's digestive system and actually cause colic. Whole apples can cause a horse to choke. A horse with Cushing's should never get apples.

Just because one horse is fine with something doesn't mean another horse will react to it the same way. Comparing a sick horse with a healthy horse is like comparing apples to oranges. My girl is 29 and in great health because I'm very protective of her. 

It's been a busy week! Stress and appointments ~ Hoping to rest and relax this weekend. Put my anxiety to rest as well.

Determination

Saffron is determined to make everyone love her. Even Cleo, who gets annoyed by her. She doesn't take no for an answer and as you can see, she wins them over. 

How determined are we? Do we give up easily or are we persistent? If what we are trying to accomplish is a positive thing, shouldn't we keep trying?


Love prevails, when we give it our best efforts in a positive way.
