Painted Promise Ranch: June 2011
http://paintedpromiseranch.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. Just a few shots of my quick trip to Eaton Rapids, Michigan for Randy's family reunion. This is Randy's "immediate" family. his parents, siblings and their spouses and kids. wow, huh? Same family but with great-grandma added. and this time we can actually SEE Bruce (dad)! I love this shot of Bernie, Robin and their kids, in their corn field. what a NICE family and I felt really comfortable staying with them! Um, GUNNER that is! Randy and I with our medals for winning the sack race!

Painted Promise Ranch: March 2011
http://paintedpromiseranch.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. This does not look like a happy face to me! But if someone were taking pictures of YOUR big belly. Almost as wide as she is tall. This part is definitely ready! Wednesday, March 30, 2011. A couple of weeks ago Randy called me and said, "We MIGHT be getting a new dog". (Notice the MIGHT, it's important.). Now I have been offered SEVERAL chihuahuas lately and I have been a very good girl, NO THANK YOU MY HUSBAND SAYS WE HAVE ENOUGH. So the very next day, Randy brings the dog home&...

Sunday, June 19, 2011. Got My Aspen Fix! Thanks so much to Rachelle and hubby Mike who hosted a group of us near Kindrick Park, north of Flagstaff.

This is our camp - made the trip with my friend Pat :). Heading down the trail. wait. what's that I see ahead? The first of many patches :). Saving A...

Tuesday, July 5, 2011. John Henry's passing seemed more important to post yesterday, so I delayed this one. Yesterday it was back to Lake Pleasant again, but instead of riding we just went straight from the parking lot to the lake. it was just too hot! This time I took Katie and someone had a camera. Monday, July 4, 2011. The e-mail and pictures:. A Mule at walnut Hill! Few know that it was John Henry that caused the American Horse Show Association now the United States Equine Federation to overturn a 50...

Saturday, November 27, 2010. So okay I didn't actually shed a tear, but yeah my eyes were swimming. we had to take Andria back to town today, so that she could fly home with her husband.

Friday, November 26, 2010. I am quite disturbed to report that we were shot at today! No way was I getting into that mess. Parking and riding near s...

Sunday, October 31, 2010. A friend asked to see pictures of the truck hooked to the trailer. so here they are:. And the hitch/box, close up. If you see this rig coming down the road, PLEASE don't pull out in front of it!

Painted Promise Ranch: RIP John Henry
http://paintedpromiseranch.blogspot.com/2011/07/rip-john-henry.html
Monday, July 4, 2011. The e-mail and pictures:. John Henry began educating Kathleen about mules as a 3 year old. He knew only how to be tied and to be lead. He would not let anyone touch him. What an education he would provide! And what a fortunate mule he was to have Kathleen to work his magic on. She was receptive. Dedicated. Horse smart. Kind and fair. She always did everything the right way for John Henry. A Mule at walnut Hill! I taught John Henry and Kathleen to dance in preparation for an invitati...

Painted Promise Ranch: December 2010

Friday, December 31, 2010. Resolution Ride - Day 2. BBBRRRRR was it ever cold last night. even with the heater on hi (vs. lo from last night) and as tired as I was, it was almost too cold to sleep. if it weren't for my 2 lil heaters (Sherman and Rocket) I'd have never made it through the night! Today was Katie's day. and by a quirk of fate, not one person we knew was doing the 25-miler today! They were either taking a break or doing the 50-miler. so we were on our own! Lovely footing here too! Just had t...
