Hi friends!
Our fund raising event is getting nearer - Saturday is days away and we
hope for a good turnout. The latest news is that my mother has come back
to stay with us for awhile, as her health is not good and she is in a
great amount of pain from her compression fractures in her back. Until we
can arrange alternate caregivers, she will be here. As a result, we are
unable to prepare for this Saturday and the many people we planned to
feed. Shopping and cooking become a great challenge when also trying to
care for mom, the kids, the horses, and go to work. Luckily, we were able
to get Grass Roots Barbecue to agree to come and serve for our benefit! We plan to have catfish and barbecue ribs, potato salad, buns, and relish!
It will cost us more money, so we are praying for a good turnout. The
band has also quoted us $400-$500 - so we are keeping our fingers crossed
that donations will come in to help us cover the cost! Thanks to Grace for her recent donation of $100. Thanks also to Sandee
and Gene W. for their donation. It is with great sadness that I must communicate my sympathy to Ray and
Alice on the recent loss of one of their Standardbreds, Cam's Matte
Finish. He had only been with them for 13 months, yet they had come so
far in retraining him as a pleasure driving horse. Ray and Alice are so
dedicated to their pets, and this has been a big blow. We are so sorry. Wanted to share some pictures that people have sent in recently. It's so
good to see the horses out and about doing a variety of riding and driving
events! Congrats to Molly on her recent placings at horse shows with
Squire One as well! Pictures include Cam's Matte Finish in two shots - one on August 25 and
one on September 5, Lexi on Fleur de Mal (Griffin- Carol W.'s horse),
Copper Cadet and Egyptian Fashion with Ralph D. and friend, Egyptian
Fashion again, and Ray and beautiful trotter, Penguin Beware. We are looking for volunteers for Saturday. Remember, if anyone plans to
bring horses, no horses will be allowed on the premises without a current
coggins (original must be shown, and copy). We originally thought that
there would be little or no riders in Romance, but I have heard that there
are people coming to camp and ride on Sunday. Try to let me know if you
do plan to bring a horse or horses. We also need someone to help us with
silent auction item setup, taking tickets, and handing out door prizes. We also could use a few desserts if anyone feels the urge? Pray for good weather!
