Today is the day he showed his horse. The judge was SO slow, one showmanship class took 45 minutes! Very slow! But he did really good and we are proud of him...
He showed in 3 classes, horsemanship, pleasure and reining. He received a third in Horsemanship (on the rider), a fifth in pleasure (on the horse) and a first in reining (a pattern type class). Reining is by far his favorite class and he was so tired he almost didn't show in it. We left home at about 8:00 and got home about 6:30. He did a great job and I am really proud of him and his efforts with his horse.
We have been busy this past week getting ready for fair, and practice every day. T is up to running about 6 miles a night and J is running about 5. Their first race is next Wednesday up in the Cleveland Metroparks and Rich is going to try to run it too!
We came home tonight and were talking to the neighbor when Rich said "Hey babe, here are some blackberries". They are growing along our tree line and we really just noticed them and they are just starting to produce so I went and picked some! Don't they look yummy:
Tomorrow I don't have to go to the fair so I am staying home and sewing! And I am very excited because I finally (after a year and a half) got a job! I will be starting next week at a local preschool teaching the 3 yr old class! I can't wait! Finally!!! So after this week I will be working everyday and I am sure I will enjoy it!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Congrats on the new job! The blackberries look delicious! I remember picking blackberries at fair time in the field behind my grandparents' house. I miss that.

Congratulations on your new job! I haven't been to the fair yet, but the kids have. I was going to enter a quilt, but after I downloaded the form, it seems I'm not eligible because I make money at my craft. ;>( Have a great day! You were missed!
Congrats to J!!! Enjoy your day of sewing.
Oh, you are going to be so great with the kids! you have so much positive energy!!
Great job, J!!!
Congrats on your new job! Our fair starts this weekend. Enjoy the blackberries!
Congratulations on your new job! Being with children is so rewarding! The fair sounds like fun but lots of work. We have a local fair every year. In high school most of my friends entered livestock etc. My mom use to enter her quilts. Those blackberries look delicious.
