End of Another School Year

This is the last week of college for our youngest.  She has just finished her third year of college.  We will be driving out to help her pack everything and then drive back home.  K. has a internship this summer.  After that, one more semester and then she is done.  Where has the time gone.

A has one more week left and then praying that he will be graduating that weekend.  If he does, he has worked hard for this.  School is difficult for him.  He seems to procastanite and not be motivated.  Then comes the difficult task of getting a job.  He has already applied at one place but he needs to continue with that.  If A does graduate, he won't be writing for his college's newspaper anymore.

I am not ready nor wanting to have a house full of people again.  I want to add another bedroom or family room to the house.

My horse is doing better.  Last week she got her hooves trimmed and new shoes put on.  I can't believe she put weight on that leg for all of that.  I hope that this summer I can take her on long walks and by this Autumn maybe even sit on her.  That would be over six months since the injury.  I can only hope.

Hopefully the next time I write it will be about our son's graduation ceremony with a couple of pictures.

My horse's recovery

It has been almost two months since my horse tore her tendon.  She know walks without a limp.  She won't pick up all her legs to have the hooves cleaned like she use to.  This week she had her shock wave therapy.  The vet said still no hand walking or anything all summer.  He still is not sure if she will ever be 100% rideable again.  I thought to myself "why did I just put her through this shock wave therapy then"?  We will see what the next two months will bring.

On another positive note, last night when letting her walk around in the small indoor arena, she trotted to the door because she kept hearing another horse neighing.  I really hope that I can at least ride her at a walk in a year.

I will keep you updated on the prograss of this long, slow journey.
