GOTTA LOVE THOSE HORSES!

I did go ride Bear's Tennessee walker. Man do I wish I could buy that horse. he's awesome. Smooth. Quick. Feels like your sittin in a rockin chair. His name is Midnight. and he's awesome! He carried me down a long black top road today about 8 miles. Just we two. After I figured out where his cue spots were..... it was over. We were cruisin' down some road now! taka....taka.....taka.....what a beat he had. He was a steady horse. didn't spook at anything....no dogs or cows. Got a little excited once when another stud ran up to the fence, but other than that..... no problem. Midnight is, of course, black. so black he's blue. long mane and tail. big regal head. he is reallly something to look at.

i have a friend that's a 70 yr old man with money to burn. i have just discovered that he has 'designs' on me. he's trying to get me to start 'courting' him. lol. in all honesty.....it's actually tempting....however, he's only been married 7 times. hell this is my 4th. what am i talkin about? lol anyway.....the option is there if i want it. He ain't much to look at really. about 6 ft. 250 or so, biker appearance - just a llittle rough around the edges is all. He wears a lot of gold and diamonds. and i don't mean cheap either! hell - he's even got a gold tooth! lol. but he is big teddy bear. he has $1000 in his pocket at any given moment. has been a loan shark at one time in his life, but no more. he's into a lot business around town. not a man to take lightly. yet he's sure got a sweet spot for me. Man o man how do i get myself in these situations?! "grin"

my friend Shonda came for a visit today. i was sure happy to see her. when bill's home i don't get to see her very much. when he's gone we hang together a lot. i miss her when we don't see one another. she tells me thatt i am missed too. that's nice to know.

bill and i went to a couple's house tonight. Bill and Brenda. we've not seen them in a long time, as we sort of stopped going over there because they never, i do mean never, come visit us. it's become very one sided and feels old. they both drink a lot and are functioning alcoholics and neither is very sociable as far as going anywhere goes. We like 'em ..................it's just that after tonghts effort, again, they're unchangeable. they're always gonna be the way they are. that simple. i don't understand people without a dream in their life. somehow they just seem to have lost heart. it's sad to me.

and that, my friends, was my day. different than usual. a good day overall. ok.....c ya'll later. have a good one folks!
