On the edge of the famed "46 Acres" rests Friendship Cemetery.

The Son of one of my long time customers was killed in Iraq. His funeral today brings many out to pay respect to the family, including the Patriot Guard Riders. The streets are lines with cars and people today.

Carol Jean visits Missouri

Last Sunday night I picked CJ up at the Kansas City Airport. It was almost 11:00 pm when her flight finally arrived. Almost another 45 minutes to collect her baggage and we were off to Jameson (one more stop for RockStar and Fresca).

It was very cold and I was prepared with a new pair of insulated bib overalls which we put of before heading out to water the horses about 1:30 am. Good thing. Some how the garden hose had locked the screen door as we drug it off the back porch and we were locked out for a few minutes.

This picture was requested by our brother Steve.

Cast Is Finally Off !!!

2009-01-11T15:36:00.000-08:00

Yesterday after work Rebecca's husband Mike Bottorff cut the cast of my right arm. I broke my wrist on the 2nd of November and when I had it x-rays six weeks later it was still broken. It's not well so Wednesday I will have it x-rayed again to see what's up. It took over half an hour to cut it off. At least now I can wash my arm.

I was trying to figure out how to put a collage on my blog and ran across some videos I took in March of last year while in Utah to accompany my Dad on a doctor's visit. Pat get ready, this one's for you.

What started as a make over ended up a down to the studs rebuild.

Work in Progress....

Preparing for Winter

2009-01-01T11:13:00.000-08:00

Two years ago I put in a wood stove and I heat with a wood. It's warm but work. I usually get a tree maybe two cut before it gets real cold but never enough for the winter. About every seven to ten days I would spend a day in the woods cutting, splitting, and stacking wood for the stove.

A great time outdoors.

This year I must have been feeling lazy or intuitive I thought I would lighten my work and I bought a BIG pile of wood.

Some I hauled home on the trailer and the rest of it thank goodness I cut, split and loaded in to a wagon all tarped and ready to bring to the house. Well after I broke my wrist I was very thankful to have that much ready to burn...

This is hedge "Osage Hedge" extremely hard wood and does it burn HOT. You have to watch it as it pops when it burn and can send sparks like fireworks.

Boys Leave For Colorado

2008-05-27T22:08:00.000-07:00

Four of my five boys left last week for Colorado last week. That's all I can say right now about that. Here's a few pictures of my last hour with them before they started their trek West.

Horses

2008-05-27T05:47:00.000-07:00

Well here's the rest of the story... at least as it stands today. My whole life I wanted to ride and raise and be around horses. It's great when you get an opportunity to live your dream. I have loved the horses I had the privilege to be around but nothing like the one I actually made from scratch so to speak. Later I'll add pictures of the horses in my life. Definitely they have taught me a lot about unconditional love, trust, balance, and relationship. Truly "To abandon oneself in the dance with a horse is to touch the Infinite".

Let's Get Started

2008-05-26T09:50:00.000-07:00

Hi I'm Mary Probert,

My children and grand children, my whole family for that matter, are so busy these days that they don't have time to call or visit so I keep up on their doings by checking their blog. I guess I can learn to blog also.
It's not like riding a new horse, I don't suppose you can get thrown off or hurt. Just do it badly and no one will read what you have to say.

I'm really creating this for my grandson Cameron.
I sold four of my twelve horses this past week, and one of them was his. His mom told me he cried and cried when she told him. I haven't been able to talk to him yet as I haven't been able to stop crying myself.

Woops got to run Mr Worley just called and he's stuck in the mud. I'll have to unhook the horse trailer and go pull him out. Later...
