My H now recalls conversations from the last 7 years with more clarity than I do. It amazes me. What if I was the one in the fog and he has been waiting for me? Scary!
Shipped some beef today, I mentioned maybe we should keep 1/4 for ourselves as the freezer is getting empty. H said "as long as people are standing in line to buy it take the money while you can and I hope to put meat in the freezer from my hunting." Nice.

Thanks ladies. Positive is a state of mind. I work on seeing the good side rather then the negative. Some days are easier....
We made it past another anniversary. I was up about 3am to get ready to leave for a horse show. H got up and helped me carry things out to the trailer and get ready to leave. I left a card on the table for him and we hugged goodbye, I said Happy Anniversary. whoopytido. I didn't expect more, but I wish for more.
H is often downstairs 'working' on his computer now before I leave for work. I think it's rude for him to ignore me leaving, but I've reached out to say goodbye or to go down and say goodbye. Today I opted to just leave, I mean gosh I've been leaving at the same time for 30 years! Guess who showed up to ask me something before I drove away?

I had one of the besteverinalongtime weekends! I traveled to a show and my folks came along. Everything worked out so great, my horse and I showed well and even went Reserve Champion Mare, and it was so awesome that my folks had a good time. They haven't seen me show since I was very young, and it was nice to have their interest in what I am doing.
I got home to an empty place but H had bagged a big buck while bow hunting and was taking care of stuff. He made good on his promise to put meat in the freezer! We had a good reunion.
I always wish for more to be done while I am gone, but, um, is that too selfish to ask for H to stay home and work harder while I am off showing?

Thanks seeking! opti, it's been such a long time. So many long years that M was only a paper and not reality. It recently dawned on me that all those years and I thought I actually got used to sleeping alone, but I never did. I heard every noise H made from the other end of the house. Now that he is is on our bed again, I truly sleep, and he can crawl in and out of bed right next to me and I never hear him.
Another great weekend in the books! Had the weekend off from the show road, and did some relaxing trail riding with friends.
Today H had a lady come with her horse who had asked for a 'lesson' to work cattle. The lady was from ow's barn, and she had ows truck! it briefly crossed my mind to get the tractor or skidloader with forks out and have the brakes fail..
I got a note today from my 6 year old leadline friend - Dear WCW, I like you. I miss you. Can I ride your Horse?
haha, who do you think she really likes?? We had a great ride across the open fields, this little girl can ride!!

Weather turned chilly and last night in bed I wanted to move next to H last night and gleen some body heat from him. He flinched and moved away anytime I would get close. phoooeeeyyy. Might have to turn the furnace on instead!
I am headed out to a show this weekend, and a couple days after I get back H leaves for his annual fall trip and will be gone a couple of weeks. I used to hate it when H left but in recent years I've come to think it's good. Perfect time for a break!
The show this weekend has an event called Freestyle Reining. I am entering, it's a big step for me! I am choreographing my routine to a song written by a good friend about another good friend. Hope it turns out!
