Today I am grateful for:

Though it was too cold to ride River today, it was nice to talk to another person at the barn for awhile. At least it was getting out of the house.

Since I didn't spend much time at the barn, I was able to make it to the gym today. I had a decent work out, managed to get the tv. to work, and even chatted a bit with another person about the show, which was about Oak Island.

Doing a bit of painting, a whimsical fish picture. I discovered an artist today, Victor Schreckengost. Very interesting work.

Sunday:

Decent weather.

Talking to my sister who lost her partner recently. I think the illness of our other sister's husband is really forcing her to re-live everything her partner went through at Christmas. She's planning a family get-together memorial for her partner that I won't be able to attend, but for now it's giving her something to focus on.

No one was at the barn, so I just lunged River. Then, some people came in to set up for dog agility training. They had one of those big fabric tubes for the dogs to run through, and River was a little concerned about it. So, I let him explore it, and eventually got him to step over it a few times, which was hilarious because it was almost too big for him to step over, but he was too lazy to jump it, so he kind of stood there with his front legs over it, like he was just too bored to bother.

Fun watching a bit of the dog agility. It was mostly people who ride at the barn who had dogs there.

Coming home and doing a bit more painting while watching a movie.

We were finally able to pay the company who moved our house the remaining balance on our contract. At least that's done!
