a horse like Blue for sale!!! Or trade!!!!


While checking Craigslist this morning, I found a younger version of my horse, Blue, for sale.  They're asking too much for him in today's market, but I see they'll trade him for a running 4X4 truck.  Which we have. 

Don't worry, folks.  I'm not buying another horse.  The older I get, the more painful it is to ride, and truthfully, I already have one horse more than I "need".  But I had fun kidding around with Cliff about trading our old pickup for a horse.  He said, "How am I going to haul hay out of the field for the horses, without a pickup?"

Those of you who watched yesterday's video probably noticed, we have quite a bit of silliness around here.

Cliff does this same thing with Craigslist, only with him, it's tractors.  He has no need for another tractor, but he'll find a good buy and even go as far as calling the seller to ask questions about it.  He loves tractors, I love Foxtrotters.

So at least each of us knows where the other is coming from.

He is a beautiful horse. Like you said you really don't need another one. Libby is coming along also. He does need his truck to hawl that hay. I hope the appraisal on your house will be a good one so you can get things rolling in the mobile home doings. Helen

If I could find a good place to board a horse, I would of bought one instead of a moped!  Not sure where I would put him at work though!

Thought of you and Cliff today when we passed a small collection of old rusty tractors. They were sure purty. Paula

Hey I noticed you said you wouldn't buy another horse right now but didn't quite say you wouldn't trade for one.  LOL  Cliff better keep an eye on that 4 x 4 less it gets replaced by 4 x 2 (4 horse legs with 2 human legs riding).  yeah I'm not funny this morning...even with 2 cups of coffee.

Now you know I can relate to this story.  Don is the same as Cliff with those threats.  Our banter is tractors vs. more collectible glass.  Don's now up to 6 tractors for 5 acres (not counting about a dozen riding lawnmowers).  I don't want to tell how many hundreds of pieces of collectible glass I now have.  lol  I got up-to-date on the new digs you're working toward.  I recall you wanting a mobile home (trailer) for years now.  I'm so happy for you.  However, you just shot yourself out of one line of prayer from me:  I used to pray for you guys during the summer heat.  It all sounds exciting.
