Promise Acre: Our Journey

[promiseacres]

Ice and freezing rain yesterday
Two of of our pines took a pretty bad beating tried to pull the broken branches and ended up on my butt. Will have to wait for it to thaw and help

Yikes. Ice is bad news. Sorry your trees got busted up. More firewood though I guess.

finished with the plaster removal except a bit behind the bath tub and the staircases.

Your son is going to be really bummed when he can't smack the walls any more.

“Your son is going to be really bummed when he can't smack the walls any more.“
Maybe...probably not... though he’s learning how to pull his weight.

Garage door is replaced
Stairwells are finished with plaster removal
And playing with ponies the other day

And Ranger

And the sunset this evening

God bless you for all that work with the plaster removal.... That was not just a job, that was a HUGE UNDERTAKING of MAMMOTH PROPORTIONS.

Knocking the plaster down is the fun part, the clean up, not so much. Y'all are doing a great job.

Hard work! When it's all done and you are living there you will all have such satisfaction in the tremendous amount of labor that you did as a family.
Great picture of Richie prancing around!

Yes, our Farrier (and good trail riding friend) gave her/us 3 lessons. Best gift this year.. I totally cried. Anyways, hopefully we'll be able to continue, on our ponies. But I wanted to check things out and it's much easier to just take a kid vs a kid and the pony. And who knows if the pony has been in an indoor... And the lesson fees are the same either way. So it's good time for Jocelyn to get exposure to huntseat.
