SHOT Show 2013

In October, I took Millie to Bryan, TX to the SHOT show.  This was Millie's first show and besides spending a month at Jennifer's in June, it was her first time away from home.  She handled herself like a pro!  

In the Ranch Horse Pleasure Class, we scored a 50 which placed us 38th/68?? other riders.  

Also, it was the first time that both Careen and Kathryn had seen Millie, the little kiwi, since I brought her home when she was a yearling.  I was super excited that we all got to be there and hang out.  That is what I miss most about College Station, spending time with my friends.  It was a great day!

SHOT Show - October 2013 - Bryan, TX

Crossfit Solus

At the end of August I began my crossfit journey.  The first of September started the 6-week paleo challenge.  With $20, getting measured, and a buy-in WOD, I got sucked into the life style and I love it!  I have completed my first 5K, I am stronger, and I feel 100% better.  I love my coaches at Crossfit Solus!  They are so encouraging and their true concern for all the athletes' success is inspirational.

What a difference a year and hard work can make!

1st time to go Rx doing goblet lunges.

Veteran's Day Partner WOD at the box.

Flower breast collar

When I lived in College Station, I met up with friends at the Caldwell arena every Thursday night and rode horses. Or was it every Wednesday??  I can't remember now. Anyways, Pat Forman called and asked it I could make her a flower breast collar. So, here it is...

Modeled, of course, by the one and only Bud. What so you think?

A few updates

The filly

The filly spent 30 days at Zaal Ranch with Jennifer Williams. I brought her home Tuesday. Here is a picture of our first ride at home. 

Great group!!

Last day of school!!

Today completes the first year of Stick-Well Home School. I blinked and it's over!  Tomorrow we are having a pool party for the kids. We'll have pizza, fruit, and buntinnies!!  I'm excited!

Tomorrow will also complete week two of Millie's training at Zaal Ranch.  I'm looking forward to seeing her progress!  

This week N. Central Texas and Oklahoma/Kansas/Mississippi areas were hit hard with storms and tornadoes.   The stories of the survivors has been incredible. It reminds me that even in these tough times, God is still with us, watching over us, protecting us. It's also encouraging to see all the people offering help to others affected by the storm. 

I am in the middle of a new project... What do you think?
