Good Morning Everyone,
Well our granddaughter is settled back in Texas..sigh She was a joy to have with us, but I can assure you she ran us ragged. We really began to think our names were Hey Grandpa, Hey Grandma. I would hear it in my sleep, but I do miss her idle chatter and the way her face would light up around the horses.
While in Texas, I had the opportunity to meet with FOB, Brenda. What a wonderful woman. We enjoyed a nice dinner together. Many of you know that I sell Mary Kay, so when my daughter made the arrangements for me to bring Mina home to her, she also arranged for us to attend the Mary Kay Seminar. Wow, that was quite a treat, I learned so much and it was not just about the product, but about myself and others. I truly like Mary Kay's philosophy that she began and continues to this day, " GOD, FAMILY and CAREER." All three of these are so important in our lives. I decided in May of 2008 to begin selling Mary Kay to help subsidize income to purchase Hay for the horses. I was not sure if it would work, but I had to try and I had to believe and I do believe. I would like to make an offer..if you purchase an item from my Mary Kay website, and then you refer a friend and they make a purchase between August 6th and September 6th 2008, you will receive $10.00 off your next purchase. Also if you know someone who may be interested in being all they can be, and you feel they would be a wonderful representative for the Mary Kay company please have them contact me.
My Dream Team here at home did a wonderful job at caring for all the horses. I must extend my deepest gratitude to my Husband, Rob, my step-son Austin, Big Joe our volunteer, to our very own Diane and Shannon. To my parents for ensuring that my men did not go hungry or destroy the kitchen. To those behind the scenes, Lucy, Bev, Sheriff Susan, Ro, Mary L and Sheila for taking care of everything that you do. Thanks for the phone calls to Diane and Shannon when the cam went down and walking them through. Each and everyone of you did a GREAT JOB...THANK YOU!
To everyone that has been participating in the Ice Cream Parlor Fundraiser THANK YOU. I am still trying to catch up on emails but I will be getting that done, and you will be hearing from me...this will teach me to go away...LOL I did not have access to internet as I thought I would, so now it is catch up time.
The horses are doing great!!! We are now preparing for our annual Labor Day weekend gathering and I am excited about seeing old friends and meeting new friends. I am so happy that most of you will be able to meet our little HOPE who at this time is scheduled to depart MHR mid to late October with her soon to be new mom Lisa Leach. Also, sweet sweet Fred will be leaving MHR mid September to be with his new mom Mary Elynne Tappero. I have seen where Fred will be going to live and I want to go...LOL..it is incredible, heaven on earth. The FOBs joining us during Labor Day will have the opportunity to meet Mary Elynne as she will be joining us.
AJ was obviously happy to see me, as I stepped in the round pen he came running up to me full bore as if to say GRAMMIE!!! Such a big boy, and sweet.
Again, MANY MANY thanks to everyone for everything, because we could not do what we do for the horses without YOU!!!!!!
