My horse's new home

My poor horse was moved again this year to a new boarding facility.  I mainly moved her because the lack of care she was receiving.  The workers didn't always feed her her correct bag of feeed.  Sometimes she got both afternoon bags in one day.  The afternoon bag had a joint supplement in it.  Other days she received both morning bags.  The morning one was just pelleted feed.  Other days it was perfect.  If I wanted her left in her stall overnight or during the day they wouldn't.  I was told she tries to kick the door down.  After I got off work I would go home and change.  By the time I would get to the facility she was already outside.  As Autumn approached, it would be dark out.  Then there was the sinking mud in her pasture.  My poor horse kept losing a shoe and pulling a muscle.

I started the search again for a facility.  I was not going to go back to the other two places she was at if I could help it.  My top priority was no mud if possible.  The second was quality care.  After that it was places to ride.  I got most of my wants except for the medium size indoor arena and a larger outdoor arena.  There are many trails around this place.

My horse is out all day and night.  I couldn't afford to have her in a stall.  Now, if she needs to be in one over night or if the weather is bad, then she can be in one.  She loves it.  The pastures are big like in Kentucky and they even have big shelters.  On three occassions I have found her in the shelter.  For as long as I have owned her she has not had a shelter.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Maybe some day I can find a facility that has a nice indoor arena with no mud or, have my own place.
I hope you enjoy the pictures of the place.

The never ending job hunt.

I finally left my new job.  I couldn't take it there anymore.  My supervisor would follow my work restrictions.  Also, my hours were cut.  I am back at just Target.

In the past eight weeks I have had eight interviews.  I have received two rejections.  I am constantly looking at the internet for job postings.  You would think with all of these interviews that one of them should turn into a job offer.  I really wish one would so that I could move my horse where there is a decent size indoor arena to ride in.

I only have about fifteen more years to work until retirement.  That is not a lot of time to work and save for it.  I know I am suppose to do my part to find another job and trust that God will provide, but after many years of all of thise I get depressed and discouraged.

I am hoping that soon I can write about a new new job.

New Job Has Changed.

Well, I have been at my new job for over a month.  At first I loved it but then it went downhill.  There was a twenty-year old girl training me that would tell me about my mistakes outloud so the whole office could hear.  That made me feel like it is a job that I couldn't do.  I now not only let the receptionists have lunch but at one of the locations I am there in between the day receptionist and the evening one.  The receptionists sit on bar stools and I then hurt my foot that had the surgery.  I went on work restrictions but my supervisor wasn't following them.  I gave my two week notice.  My supervisor wanted to know if I would be interested in part-time.  I said yes.  When we finally talked it became part-time file clerk and receptionist with when there is nothing to do, go home.

This is not at all what I interviewed for and want to do.  I am looking for something else.  I ready to quit right now and work more at Target until I can find something else.

I am frustrated because I have searched for something different than retail for four years and this is what happens.  I don't understand why and what I am suppose to really do for a career.  Back to the praying.

Visit to Michigan to see our daughter

We went out to Grand Rapids, Michigan to visit our daughter at college.  It was a nice visit.  We toured a coffee brewery, Gerald Ford Museum, the Grand Rapids Public Museum and went on a Fall Color Tour.

My husband excluded me from visiting my daughter.  When we would walk, I would be behind them.  Grandted I was slow due to my foot surgery, but he could have gone ahead or behind us.  We did things he wanted to do, but didn't get to do the things I did.  Our meals were for him and if not he complained.  I wish I had stayed home, but of course not work.

The Gerald Ford Museum was great.  I learned so much.  We didn't see it all as we needed to have lunch.  The Public Musem was great also.  We didn't see everything there either, it was huge.  It had normal exhibits and also the history of Grand Rapids.  We did go to a apple orchard hoping to get apple donuts.  We waited in line for about fifteen minutes only to be told they didn't have any.  We started out on the fall color tour which was beautiful.  But, we got to the end of a road where there was to have been a bridge, but no bridge.  There was a small river so we couldn't cross.  We tried to find our way around to the other side but it didn't happen.  We then took the GPS way back to the hotel.  The leaves were beautiful so we did get that.

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.

The Real World has settled in

Well, I have finished my second week back to work at Target.  I have had another week at my new office job.  I now remember why surgeons give you work restrictions.

After a four hour shift at Target my foot is swollen and painful.  After a eight hour day at the office one it is swollen from not walking or having it elevated.

I like my new job.  I do hate giving the receptionists their lunches.  That is too confusing for me.  It is nice to have my mind challenged and work with numbers again.  The drive sucks!!!  The pay is great.  Will I work at this place until I am 65, don't know yet.  I miss having free days to go to the bank, post office or store.  I also miss seeing my horse.

My horse though has been unrideable for about two weeks.  The mud makes it so that she keeps hurting her muscles.  She is outside almost 24 hours a day and that doesn't give her legs a rest.  I am looking at other places to see if there is anything better.

I splurged with my first paycheck and bought fall decorations for by the front door.  I hope you enjoy the picture.

Back to Work

I saw my surgeon on Friday.  I am now wearing regular shoes but only those that my foot will fit in.  I can go back to work but short shifts for right now.  But, I just got a Monday-Friday office day job.  I am excited because that means no more hard work on my body and I will be a little more mentally challenged with this.  I am nervous that I won't be able to due the tasks assigned to me and also that I might get bored.  For right now I will still keep working at Target on the weekends.  This also means less time for my horse.  Part of me is starting to wonder if I shouldn't sell her since I rarely see her.  It isn't fair to her.  Yet, I know many other people who own horses that rarely see or ride theirs.  I hope once my foot feels a lot better I will be going out more.

My son got locked out of his blog so he can't write.  I haven't been sharing any of his articles and won't be for awhile.  He wants to write a book and get it published.  He does know that for a few years he will have to work a regular job to be able to support himself.

I am looking forward to Autumn.  I love the colors, the cooler days and the food that is ripe this time of the year.  I hope to still have time to take pictures with both jobs.

I do have two more pictures from another nature center around me.  I hope you enjoy them.

As you can see, we have had a lot of cloudy days here in Minnesota

One week left

I have one week left of medical leave and then back to work.

I have had three interviews.  Two of the companies called to say no, and still waiting for the other.  As it stands, I will be going back to Target.  My fear is that I will have another surgery in the near future.

My husband keeps interviewing and gets rejection.  My youngest interviewed at one place at college but they offered her a position that was not what she applied for.  The other company gave her a no.

I don't understand why we all are having rejections.  My husband says to keep praying (though he gets depressed when it is his rejection).  We are to have faith and right now I don't.  I am upset.  My employer is going to probably stop scheduling me with all of these surgeries.  I fear my husband will get fired due to being depressed.  My son isn't working at college and quit his job a month before going back.  I don't know how to motivate him.

I am bored though.  Sitting at home all day, not being able to ride my horse is very difficult to stay happy.  Now, I didn't go with to bring my youngest back to college.  I couldn't stomach spending twenty hours in a vehicle with my husband.  All he does is complain.  I stayed home and even had my incision sight bleed.
I have been going on walks to get my foot use to all that movement.  Here are a couple of pictures from those walks.

Back to School

Our son is back at college.  We are hoping this is his last year.  We thought that two years ago but he had more classes to take then he thought, plus he has had to retake a couple of classes.  Our son really likes the town that the college is in.  It is a small town with many farmers around it.  A loves the closeness of that.  We pray that A will have some sort of job after college but do fear that he won't as his major is Creative Writing.  I do believe that he will look for something to be able to pay the bills and write on the side.  A is not a student like me so I am proud that he is trying to get this degree.

Our youngest goes back to college next week.  Once again that long nine hour drive.  K has this year and hopefully half of the next.  But as we know with colleges these days, it takes longer than what you planned.

I am four and a half weeks since my bunion surgery.  I do drive but limit to how long due to the pain.  I don't think I will make the trip to Michigan.  I do still have to elevate that foot.  I am suppose to go back to work in about three weeks.  But I have been applying for an office job.  That would be so much easier on my feet along with the rest of my body.  If I can't get that I know there are other types of stores that would be easier on my body.  I will apply for those places once I can do work being on my feet.

I will be sharing links again of my son's articles for his college's newspaper.  My son-in-law has a full time job writing for a sports website.  I will be sharing those articles also.  Both of these young men are talented writers.

Happy Beginning of a New School Year!!!

Post Bunion Surgery

Two weeks since surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I got my stitches out today and can wear regular socks.  I still have to wear the bunion shoe, walk on the side of my foot or the heel and can't drive.  Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to remember that I did this so I could walk again without pain and to realign my toes.  I hate my feet.

I don't understand why I have to go through all these surgeries and that I upset everyone in my family.  I wish I could be a better person; and not say or do things to upset them.  Am I that horrible of a person or is some of it them?  I try hard to do unto others, live the way God wants me to.  But I seem to hurt someone every day.  I know that no one is perfect except God.  But it seems to me I am far from every doing anything right.

Is this the way I am to feel?  I don't think so.  I know I make mistakes and need to ask forgiveness.  I don't do that enough and I need to make that a priority.  But, when people are angry at me every day I have to think that some is them.

Once I can drive again and walk normally I will be able to please people again.  Except, I can't go back to work for six weeks.  If only I had a desk job and that doesn't look like it is going to happen this year for sure.  God must have a better plan for me that I can't figure out.

Have a great rest of summer before school starts again.

Anxiety Disorders

This problem has been on my mind for a long time.  Anxiety disorders.  What exactly are they, how many different forms, and are you cured from them or just manage?

My oldest child works with austic children.  Their behavior can be a lot like those with anxiety disorders.  Do we label these people as having mental illness?  That sounds horrible.  There are many different illnesses of the mind.  

I truly believe that people are born to be good, except for those with a mental problem.  If a person later in life does what we deem as bad behavior it is because of experiences they had.

I have people in my life that have anxiety disorders.  I wish I could take it away for them.  I truly believe that you are not cured of it but learn to manage your thoughts.  Also, depending on how difficult the symptoms, a treating professional and maybe medication are needed.

Only the person suffering can made the decision to seek help.  We as family and friends can speak to them until we no longer have a voice; but they have to know there is a problem before getting help.  Until they seek help, you as their family or friend need to put up boundaries with them so that you aren't worn down by them to the point you might do something that is bad.  That is difficult if it is your child, parent or especially your spouse.

At one time I thought about going to school to be a psychologist.  I changed my mind because I realized I couldn't do that and be around the people in my life that have problems also.  I applaud those that do it for a career.

I hope this has sheed some light on what it is like for the friends or family of people with anxiety.  I also hope that you can be understanding and helpful with them.

Post Bunion Surgery

After my daughter's wedding I had to have bunion surgery.  Four years ago I had reconstructive surgery on the other foot.  That summer I found out I have navicular accessory bone.  That is a extra bone on the inside of your foot.  When you have these you are prone to developing bunions.  YEAH!!!!!  Not.

I am out of work for six weeks and can't drive for two weeks.  I really start to wonder why I do these surgeries.  Is it for attention?  My other foot needed it because at some point the main tendon would have completely torn and then I would not have been able to walk.  My neck fusion needed to or my neck would have started to crumble.  I know my family is tired of this.

My husband has a hard time with these things.  Supposedly I am mean, demanding and lazy.  I believe for him it is because he is self-centered which is a genetic trait.

I have been sharing my son's blogs on social media.  That gives me something to do.  During this time I am trying to figure out how I can get a job that is not in retail.  My right shoulder has a torn rotator cuff.  At my age though it is hard because employers are hesistant due to retirement is not far away.

The Wedding Week

The week of my oldest daughters' wedding.  It started out hot!!!!  I worked only two days of that week.  My horse got her hooves trimmed.  On the morning of the rehersal I met with a advisor of a community college about the cost and length of some certificates of different jobs that I could work in.  My right shoulder has a torn rotator cuff.  I really need to get out of retail.

The rehersal was hot!!!  It was outside since that is where the ceremony is to take place.  It was short due to the heat.  We then had the dinner at a Italain place and it was delicious.  It was a nice place and the dinner was fun.

The next day was nothing but grocery shopping.  The wedding was on Saturday but we had to have the rehersal on Thursday due to a wedding at that place on Friday.  My son and husband met the rest of the groomsmen to get their tuxs.  The tux fit with no alterations.

The morning of the wedding I went to get my hair done.  I loved it.  After I got home a thunderstorm came.  I waited until it had passed.  I left for the venue with lunch for the bride and bridesmaids.  While they were eating and getting dressed it started raining there.  It didn't stop until dinner was served.  All of the pictures were taken inside and the ceremony was inside.  The service was nice and short.  After it stopped raining the photographer took more pictures of the bride and groom outside.

My brother, sister-in-law and niece were there.  My parents neighbors for over 30 years were there.  My sister-in-laws' parents were there also.  It was a nice day.  Not the kind of ceremony, reception and picture taking I would have done but of course none of it was for me.  Pictures will come at a later date.

No Parents Alive Now

My mother-in-law passed away last night.  Her dementia progressed to the point it was affecting her whole body.  

Now both my husband and I have no parents alive.  Kind of an eerie feeling.

It seems like it was yesterday instead of last year that I was going through all of the things in my mom's house along with her financial accounts.  I have to remind myself that it was last year.

What is so sad about this is that she never really spent time with my children.  My mom spoiled them.  My mother-in-law for some reason was a unhappy person.  The children received that unhappiness and have given that to their children.  Most of the family aren't that sad.  Though, my father-in-law was somewhat like that also.  I don't understand how a person can be so crabby to their family members.

Even though she was like this I am happy that she is no longer suffering.  Dementia is a cruel disease.

My husband and I are now the leaders for our children, we are the storytellers, and we are the memory makers.  I pray that we leave happiness for our three children.

Summertime is Here

I have been very busy this summer.  A better busyness than last summer.  In May I went to Kentucky with my youngest.  It was just us as the rest of the family doesn't enjoy horse related activities.  We toured Kentucky Horse Park, Unique Farm Tours, and Churchill Downs.  We also went to the Louisville Zoo and a mansion museum.  We drive the twelve hours there and had a great time.

Upon our return we had the planning of the bridal shower for my oldest.  Yes, she is finally getting married.  Her boyfriend has a full-time sports writing website job.  She is getting married this summer and yes we just found out in April.  We all things this boyfriend is a great guy.

My youngest is the Maid of Honor.  It has been difficult being as she is still in college.  I helped with the shower, mainly the expenses.  Our son is a groomsman.  We are paying for his tux as he is still in college.  We all wish my mom was still alive, and also the boyfriends' dad.  But, it will still be a beautiful day.

The following week I will be having bunion surgery.  This is my four surgery in six years.  I do have a torn rotator cuff.   If it doesn't heal, surgery on that.

My son was working at his sandwich shop job last week when a slicer cut his finger.  He has work restrictions and that has made it difficult for his boss.  My son is going to start blogging about video games.  Look for those links to come.

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip to Kentucky.

End of Another School Year

It is Spring and my college children will all be home in three weeks.  It has been a good year for them.  The middle one will be graduating next Spring.  Here is to hoping he will get a job that will afford him to start paying off his student loans along with his car loan.

With them coming home brings the family to the first anniversaries of my mom.  The one year anniversary she went into the hospital and her heart went into atrial fib.  The one year anniversary of her many doctor appointments.  It seems like just yesterday we were done going through the financial accounts at many different companies.

I have my doubts some days about God and how it affects my life.  It seems that most things I want to happen don't.  I know the phrase that then there is another plan but that doesn't make the saddness any easier.

My horse turned 20 years old this month.  She still loves to run but you can tell her body is getting older.  When K is home this summer she does want to take her to some shows, if her schedule permits.  I had one lessee just ended over the fact that lessons were mandatory.  During the winter I had a mother-daughter team starting leasin and they love her.  The great thing is the mother has ridden horses all her life.

This will be the end of the quite in the house for four months.  I love my children but I love this quite.

Dying Light: The Following Add-On

When Calls My Heart

In order to sleep at night I need noise.  I find it relaxing to watch and then fall asleep.  Since the conversion to digital television, we get just a few stations.  They all have nothing good on at night.  I have resorted to Netflix.  I watch series so that if I sleep through an episode I can go back and watch it again (though that sometimes take me three attempts).  The shows that are currently on Netflix that I enjoy I have watched all the way through at least twice with some being three.  Some of my Facebook friends watch the Hallmark Channel series When Calls the Heart.  So I started thinking I would easily fall asleep to this as I would find it boring.  I am not sure why as many years ago I did like the Hallmark Channel movies.  Well, I surprised myself and I love it.  It is probably considered a female show but I do enjoy the romance between the two main characters; and it doesn't hurt that the leading male actor is cute.

Now, this type of show my husband hates.  There is no killing though there is some fighting; there is clean language, no love scenes or nudity of any kind.  When there is a show on that I or my children are watching and he thinks it's a dumb one, and he makes rude jokes or comments about it.  We ask him to be quiet and he can't help himself.

While watching this show and the interaction (romance) between all of the characters but especially the two lead male and female ones I have realized a few things about my marriage.  Now I am not a very romantic person; I am independent and not a typical female.  But, the way these characters treat each other I know that my husband severly lacks in these departments.  Yes, I do some also.  Was my husband always like this?  No.  What changed?  Life, some me, but alot has to do with how he really views relationships.  He courted me and once we were married, then the realy him was there.  Now I know I have changed some, but for the most part my beliefs have stayed the same.  So, my husband's idea of a wife has been in his mind since he was a teenager.  He never told me any of these desires, expectations or thoughts.  Years later after having children I am informed what my husband thinks a wife/mom should do, act and interact with him/children.  I have not meet his needs in all areas of a wife and some areas for the children.  

So  helpful suggestion to my children and they do hear it, you really don't know someone until you have been with them for at least ten years.  I don't mean dating but either married or living together.

I am still finding out new expectations my husband has as I have been going through my parents belongings and the inheritance I have received.

I hope you can watch this series and enjoy it as much as I have.

Another wonderful review by this author.  A newer video game.  Read it and comment.

Mini Vacation to San Diego

My husband and I went to San Diego for three days.  I needed to mental vacation from all I endured the last twelve months.

My son's auto accident, revolving leasees for my horse, my mom passing away and then all the car problems for my youngest.


San Diego was beautiful but not a city I would want to live in.  The culture is too busy for me.  The three days was not enough to see all the different atrractions but it was still great to be away from home.

The weather was okay.  It was windy so that there was high surf advisories.  It wasn't warm enough to even be in shorts.  Coming from Minnesota it was nice to have to wear jackets, mittens and hats.  But, I sure would have loved to have gone swimming.

We went to the USS Midway museum.  My husband loved it and I endured it.  After that we did a boat ride out of the bay and saw a few whales blowing air and one tail.  They never came out of the water to see their faces.  It was still nice.  The next day we went to the monument for the European e xplorer that was the first to land on the western side of the US.  While there was saw a military ship and a submarient.  We then toured the oldest lighthouse in California.  The last day we went to La Jolla shores beach and then the cove where there was a group of sea lions sun bathing.  That was fun to watch.

I wanted to do more but my husband was always hungry and needed to eat at certain restaurants.  In addition, he wanted to go back to the hotel to take naps.

Here is a couple of pictures from the trip.

Disney’s “Inside Out” Review

Disney’s “Inside Out” Review



Great review.  The author has a deeper meaning and more to this movie than I had interpreted.  Love that.  It was a well written review.

After the Holidays

Well, the Holidays are over and my two younger children have been back at college for six days.  It was great to have them home but it sure is nice eating what and when I want to, shopping for just me, being to go to sleep when I want to, etc.  I have to say though it was harder to have them go back then after the summer and Thanksgiving.

I worked less hours this holiday than in years past.  The store has less payroll to schedule me.  I guess that was not all that bad since I was still busy doing things with my parent's accounts.  It also allowed me more time to spend with my horse.

I worked Christmas Eve while my family went to church.  Normally we go to my parents' church and then we would go to their house.  But with both of them no longer here, the tradition changed.  If I hadn't worked we would have gone to their church with my brother and his family.  Also, we probably would have had my brother over to our house.  My oldest spends Christmas Eve with her boyfriends' family, though this year she also did Chrismas evening.  

Christmas Day was just our family with the boyfriend.  It was quiet.  My children said it didn't feel like Christmas with the warm winter and Grandma not alive.

Our family went over to my brother's and went through my dads' carvings, my mom's jewelry and my mom's receipes.  It was a long afternoon but needed to be done.

My son is back at college and will be writing reviews and articles for his school's newspaper.  After the newpaper is printed and online I will be able to share those articles.

I am trying to decide how much longer I want to work at Target.  I would really rather have a hobby farm and have my horse there.  I could have chickens and a few gardens.  It would be great but not enough money.  For now, I will still work there and look at what else is out there.  I could travel some before bringing my horse to my property.

Start watching for the links from my son's college newspaper, and stay warm this winter.
