My friend just called.  We are having beautiful, cooler weather and she is heading down for the cabin to ride for a few days and  asked me to go.  Guess who can't go right now because she has six horses to take care of!  Rats, rats, and triple rats!  I have not been since May!!  I'm seriously considering calling her and telling her I will leave early one morning, ride and come home -- but that may be too much for me - I'm not as young as I used to be.  It would be about a 2.5 hour drive down, riding and 2.5 hour drive back.  This is killing me. 

Ah, y'all are so sweet!  No, I would not feel comfortable getting someone else to care for  them, since they have been left in my care.  Stacey has some pretty nice horses - and then of course there's my love,Choo!  I haven't completely ruled out a day trip -- could leave around 7 a.m. - get there at 9:30ish, ride for a while, load up around 3:30 and be back by 6:00.  That would not be so bad -- we would not do a super hard ride.  A lot depends on what they find out tomorrow about my truck, too.  I may not have it for a few days.  Well, whatever.  I will have lots of opportunities to ride in the fall.
