Brownie the Wonder Pony
When I got home from haying yesterday afternoon, Patty Joe wanted to go for a pony ride. I told Patty that I had to take a shower and shave, and if she was good, we’d go in an hour or so.
I got the shower took and was shaving when Bonnie called. I hadn’t talked to her for a day or two so we had a long chat. Two and a half hours later I went to get Patty for her pony ride. The time lapse could be important in this story.
We couldn’t find Brownie the ancient Shetland pony anywhere. Finally Grandma suggested that we check in the shop. Sure enough she was in the shop. Patty chased her out to me and I caught her.
We’ve been in and out of the shop quite a bit lately, and haven’t taken (more…)

Oh Yeah, By The Way
The Boss told me that we are getting married on the 18th of September.
As this will be my first and most likely only wedding, I encourage you, if you believe yourself to be my friend, to attend. The plan is to get married in the country church at Red Owl SD. The size of the church prohibits a crowd, so the wedding will be attended by family and close friends. (more…)

The problem was, the kids had learned the songs for the program in the afternoons and Patty Joe had only attended in the mornings. They put her right in the middle and she just stood there silently. Looking nice, and smiling, but very obviously not singing. (more…)

And Some Days The Bear Eats You
Yesterday we lost more than we won, so at the end of the day we resolved to get up bright and early this morning, roll up our sleeves and hit ‘er again.
This morning I woke up ready to go at four o’clock in the am. There’s a trick to getting up that early and feeling good about it. You have to be excited about it before you go to bed. You have to believe that wonderful things are gonna happen, and you don’t want to miss a minute of it.
So, in the correct frame of mind I fairly leapt from bed in anticipation of a wonderful day. (more…)
