Glad ur bay was good for u today. I went back down to the barn yesterday and rode Dolly for an hr. I had hooves trimmed on Friday and she was gimpy....so no riding today. My friend from Pgh was up and we went for ice cream. It was a beautiful day in NW PA. Before and after our ice cream trip, I helped Chuck pick up limbs he's been trimming off the fruit trees.

Another beautiful day here, but we didn't get to enjoy too much of it. Chuck had a dr appt for his knee. Going to get an MRI.
My friend called and wanted him to put batteries in her ATV's. If he couldn't she would call our friend, Sue. Yep u read that right, Sue is a better mechanic than my husband. He said he'd do it. The first one went OK. So Carol and I went for a ride on it while he was putting the battery in the 2nd one. We went for about a 1/2 hr, got back and he said he couldn't get it. It was tricky, but with us helping...we got r done. Then Carol couldn't find the key for it. 😕
