DH was up early, sore back. I hate that.
Kids and I got the firewood in, DH needs to split more. But we're good for a couple of weeks. Picked up feed too.
Today school then DD has her first riding lesson. We decided to use their ponies for the first few times, not sure how her pony will react to a big indoor. So this way she'll get saddle time and it won't take us 3 hours, with loading, cleaning up the pony, ect. But I still want to take her pony at some point. We've never been to this barn, just driven by so will be interesting. Fancy fancy for us backyard riders.

Thanks for the coffee! We had our 3 granddaughters for the weekend. We picked them up in Cisco Friday. Kept seeing lighted road signs of a wreck up ahead, ALL lanes closed on I-20. Normally by the time you get there the wreck is cleaned up and road is open. After the 4th sign and many miles, I told BJ to exit NOW. We wound our way over to Highway 80, with him griping all the way. We t down Hwy 80 through evening traffic, bumper to bumper, finally far enough to probably be clear of the wreck, took Spur 529 back to I-20. Wrong. Thing. To. Do.

We got close enough to see I-20, traffic at a dead stop as far as we could see in both directions, we were at a dead stop with traffic piling up behind us. BJ ran down the shoulder on the grass, that got us nowhere. Saw a car slip between 18wheelers, jump median and turn around. We cut between 18 wheelers too, jumped median, crossed road, jumped another median, got on that road and headed back to Hey 80. So did lots of other people. By that time, Hwy 80 was a zoo of crazed drivers. We finally got clear of traffic and made it to a small town 9 miles from home and wound through back roads to home. A 3 1/2 hour trip took 5 1/2 hours. With all our trying to miss traffic, we only drove 2 miles further than what it took to drive straight through on I-20 to Cisco. Go figure.

Found out that high winds blew down power lines, blocking both sides and feeder roads of I-20. The linemen didn’t get them put back up until Saturday morning! Whew! We would have been there all night!

Weekend went great, had a great time with girls. Met yesterday in Denton, up above Dallas. DD and DSIL went to Oklahoma to check it out, DD has been offered a job there. Hiring freeze for now, but they are very interested in her. We’ll see...... and no, we aren’t moving to Oklahoma! A position may come open next year in San Marcos, told her we’d move to San Marcos, that’s beautiful country. Eh, who knows?

Glad you got home with the girls alright. That's nerve wracking , not knowing what's going on ahead of you on the road.
Thanks for the coffee!

Absolutely love it...!!!! Especially since I am a "brown cow" person....

No I don’t have them a pony. We bought Prince with the grands in mind, but once he gained weight, he was no kid or beginners horse. I took them riding on Pearl, pictures are on her thread. Pearl behaved beautifully.

Having my double espresso...thanks PA .

Today both kids will be here for dinner, I'm excited! It's usually impossible to sync everyone's schedule. Both boys are working weekends at the moment so I can probably lure them both over on the same day with a dinner invite.
Enchiladas and all the trimmings.
