2/13, 14 & 15/2009

Time for another update.  We have been busy the past couple of days.

On Friday I was working again with Too Tall and he is teaching me lots.  The good news he isn’t able to tell Bob all the things I do wrong but it is a great learning experience.  We did a lot of roping and took several calves down and did some ground work which was exciting.  This is just like peeling an onion.  Once you have one layer peeled, there is another.  It seems to me that it will be very difficult for anyone to learn everything about animals and roping so I have a lot of catching up to do.

We also went to Karen’s (Bob’s sister-in-law) for a Mexican dinner and install her computer.  The dinner was excellent as she is a great cook.  The computer took a little longer than we thought but in the end it worked well.

On Saturday Tom and I went and got 40 bales of hay ($13.50 a bale) and some supplements for the horses.  After we finished this chore we picked up Arda and went for breakfast.  We then went to Benson to do some shopping and then go to a horse auction to get Arda a horse… just kidding about getting a horse for Arda but we did go to a horse auction.  We left and came back home for a barbeque which turned out great due to the new grill Petra bought me for Christmas… it is perfect for what we want it for.
Today (Sunday) Tom declared this Arda’s official birthday so after church we went to Sierra Vista to do some shopping.  I gave a camera to Arda earlier this week so Tom bought her a camera case and a bigger chip so she could take more pictures.  He also treated us to steak dinner… even though it wasn’t my birthday I got one too.  I also bought her a new vacuum for her birthday so she can now fly around the trailer…
It is not time for Biker Arda’s 2 Cents Worth…    

Here we are another week in Pearce Arizona. We seem to be settling into a routine here. Dave goes to the ranch in the morning to do what he loves to do.... I usually start out my day by going for a walk with Jean (the manager of the campground here) we do about 4 miles and when we get back I go for a bike ride. This should get me back in shape...... On Wednesday I got an early Birthday present from Dave, A new camera..... I'm very excited about that since my old one broke last fall. I used Dave's camera when I wanted to take pictures but to have my own is so much better...... Also new this week is that I learned all by myself how to upload pictures on Facebook.  So for those who have Facebook I'm planning on putting pictures of this trip on there and for those who don't have it, you should sign up so you can see them there. And now I should go and do some house cleaning.... Till the next time.
Temp = 61o
