Weekend Projects

Lindsay is in Tennessee this weekend to pick up her Mother and a horse pen panels for our future house; where ever that might be.  I've been busy here.

With all our bunnies, their stand has gotten real dirty and is hard to clean.

So I hung the cage from the shed!  I used wrenches I got for my birthday and the magnetic arm band I got for Christmas on this project.

It swings a little when they jump around but will be easier to clean.

Another Birthday present from Daddy came in handy while cleaning the front yard.  It's hard to see but I'm using a push broom.

The driveway has never been so clear!

I secured a loose cable outlet to the wall.

I replaced the glass and hanger string on a picture frame that fell off the wall recently.  Zia always tries to help me in the shop.  She can't decide if screws are cat toys or cat treats.  Anything small left on the work bench is on the floor if I leave it unattended.

Birthdays

As most of you know, Matthew and I both celebrated our birthdays over the last week. Thank you to everyone who sent cards, gifts, and birthday wishes!! We didn't really do anything special for either day except go out to eat at our favorite restaurants.

Flowers from Matthew.

A joint birthday gift from my mom. It's a horse trailer mailbox for our new house (if we ever get one!).

My big gift, a new horse! His name is Motive VIII (pronounced Motivate) and he is 8 years old. He has been wonderful so far and gets along fine with Rabi.

Rabi and Motive VIII greet each other.

New Years

Although it has almost been a month, I finally got around to posting some photos from New Years. We spent the weekend with Matthew's sister, Emily, along with another sister & family and his mom and dad. We had a great time relaxing, playing games, eating lots of delicious food, and visiting a local nature center.

I think it only took about 24 hours for us to devour all of these.
