Pool Time is Here!

It's pool time! Woohoo summer is close! Come down for a swim!

What a Day!

Well, just an update on things going on with Grant and I. I finished the semester strong and glad to know that I'm still in the program! We bought tickets back in March for WWE Monday Night Raw in Kansas City. So we decided to make a day of it. We left early on Monday to go to Worlds of Fun. Until yesterday I had never been, but Grant had a few times. We rode several rides including the Mamba.(Which I was very proud of myself because that thing was a MONSTER!) After a long day at the amusement park we went to Kemper Arena for the show. It was a fantastic time and Grant even got to see one of his favorite wrestlers up close before the show. After it was all over we started the long drive home. By the end of the day we were both exhausted, somewhat sunburned, and had pounding headaches; but we couldn't wipe the smiles off our faces because it was all worth it!

Horses

Hi Everyone

You all know I love horses, so when the Clydesdales arrived in Hutch I just had to hang out and watch. They weigh about 2300 lbs, stand 6 ft tall at the withers, their collar and harness weigh 130 lbs, and the driver has a constant tension weight of 75 lbs when holding the reins. I watched them parade, stand for pics, and get unhitched and loaded on their trailers. They have two trucks just for the horses and one for the wagon and supplies. There are five hitches, four that travel and one that stays put at Orlando, FL. The harness and collars for a eight hitch team cost $70,000. They travel with a team of 9-12 people. Yes there was one woman on their team. The dog for this team is named King. The wagon is an old restored wagon and is all wood with the exception of the steel springs. Boy did I have a great time! I found my friend Janell there and I said this would be a great career for someone that had no ties, loved horses and had a CDL. Wait..., that's me! Maybe, just maybe I've found a new career choice!! Janell was laughing pretty hard by then, guess she doesn't think I could do it. Probably am too old, but everyone needs a dream. Anyway, I had a blast and they sure are beautiful animals.
