#Shoftek!

You’re doing an amazing job with those kids. Talking to them gently between rides, catching crawfish at the pond, and having those conversations about Pop, Josie, and heaven in the middle of something fun. That’s exactly how kids can take in hard news without being overwhelmed. They’ll remember that their mom made it feel safe to talk about. I’m sorry Justin is taking it hard. That’s a lot for a 13-year-old to carry. But taking him to the riding pen and teaching him groundwork was perfect. Sometimes boys his age don’t want to talk face to face, but working side by side with you, learning something new, gives him a place to put his feelings. He may not say much, but he’ll know you were right there with him. And I’m so sorry about the jenny’s baby. After everything this week, that’s just cruel timing. Losing a newborn to coyotes is heartbreaking, and you don’t need words for it. Just know I’m sorry, and I hope the jenny is okay. I love that you’re choosing to focus on the horses today. Six rides down and three more before dark? That sounds like a lot of saddle time, and probably exactly what your heart needs. Enjoy the pizza break, and give those kids an extra hug (or don’t, you know how teenagers are 😄).



I would like to sit down and drink coffee in a pink cup while watching you training the horses.
It is funny how people change. All the talk about horses makes me smile.

We have been locked down all day but I went to the law library to read cases. The food was very bad today. I am not complaining, I am just telling you about my day. When JD was here, I used to go to "chow" all the time to give him my food. Now I go to share my tray with people who do not make store.
I am going to work out until lock down to clear my head.

I love the updates, keep them coming. How is going with the kids and the horses? It is hard to do video editing when the weather is so nice. I still want to hear ebarrasing horse stories if you have any. I hope your day is going well. What do you have planned for dinner?
