Hello everyone! I know its been a while but here I am.

  As most of you know know I love horses. I always loved them of course it wasn't strange for a little girl to want a pony, but I never got out of the little girl phase.

 When we lived near Portland I had four horses and a pony. Well, we had to move and they had to stay. Very sad for a little girl who was horse crazy, anyway, I never really stopped looking for another horse.

 A year later I had a cousin offer me her six-year-old quarter house gelding. But our landlord said "no" to any equine.

That was sad but fine until as year after that(last week) . . . he came over and said that this lady was going to board five, FIVE horses on our field. That made me mad!

And on top of that he told they lady I had no experience with horses! Umm kay, after being in a horse club for two years and riding for eight and owning four horses and a pony, I have no experience.

Well Ive been struggling not to be upset at the lady (because she didn't know that I wasn't allowed to keep one, not five, one horse on our HUGE field) because its not her fault.

So this morning I went out to the field and hung out with the horses and of course fell in love with all of them. What can I say I didn't stay mad at her for very long=]

Well mom thinks after this that the landlord may let keep my one horse.

Until next time,
[=Madi=]

Well its been a while but I'm back to blogging! The last few weeks have been quite busy. Lots has happend so I'll start with last Wednesday.

  My grandpa had been planning to get his knee replaced and Wednesday was his appointment. The surgery went well and he came home Sunday. Sunday evening we noticed some strange looking blisters above and below the actual opening and he was running a fever so Monday he had to go down for blood work and they readmitted him. When the doctor saw it he sent him right back into surgery to reopen and see if the bone didn't settle. The bone was fine but he still had blisters and they were about the size of dimes and nickels now. They took some live cultures and kept him yesterday. The cultures show that he did have an infection and was put on three different antibiotics. So we got him home yesterday but, he has to go in everyday to get shots.

  We have more more little ones. Little goats that is=] Three, two boys and a girl=]

  I went horse back riding on Thursday and was given a spirited pony named "Oreo". All was well as we were riding through a field we went up a hill and on top he decided to start galloping=] Well I was fine with it till his foot slipped and I went right over his shoulder=] Just got a little muddy and a bruised shoulder for me=] But it was quite fun. I adore horses even the bratty ones=]

  Well theres a short story of my life the past week or so at least the exciting parts=]

   Until next time,
      [=Madge=]

A friend sent this to me in a e-mail and I thought it was a very good point=]

Whispers 

The man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a meadowlark sang.

But, the man did not hear. 

So the man yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky.

But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." 

And a star shone brightly.

But the man did not see.

And, the man shouted, "God show me a miracle." And, a life was born. 

 

But, the man did not notice.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here."

Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away . . .

                                                                      

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age. 

The man cried, "God, I need your help!" And an e-mail arrived reaching out with good news and encouragement.

But, the man deleted it and continued crying .

Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. 

 

I found this to be a great reminder that God is always around us in the little and simple things that we take for granted ... even in our electronic age.

 

Have A   Blessed

My dear friend Sarah and I had a fun time yesterday. We started by eating some pizza (good for the brain=]) Then it was of to the barn! Sarah and I write songs if you can call um that=] So we are up in the hay loft and my old goat which, I gave to Sarah's sister, tips over her soda and drinks it all! Crazy thing! Well, after we got done laughing we worked on ours songs for awhile then went in the house and watched funny cat videos ( go on youtube and type in "funny pet accidents") Very fun day!

  Well until next time!

 I woke up this morning to my mother say come look outside! I came out and there was about 2" of white covering our whole yard.=]

 So we go to church, at about 20 mph (the roads were pretty bad) and when we got there church had been canceled but so many people had showed up we had a short service. But the fun part was we had a huge snowball fight with nearly the whole church was covered in snow.=]

 It didn't stop till about 2:00 but by then there was  5" inches  of snow.  The animals aren't to sure about it, but the dog really enjoys it.=]

Here are some pictures=]

Hi there! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Things have been a little crazy around here but I think it's calming down.=]

Recently my friends Miss Mary-Ann and Miss Sarah and I decided we are going to pool our money and find a horse. We've been looking but haven't found any. If any of you know of one available near Oregon please let me know.=]

I received new pet from Aunt L-O-R-I(look i spelled it right=]) a duck. She is so cute. I named her Arya out of a book I was reading. I spent all day after church building her a pen in the corner of the garden.=]

My baby Opal is expected to kid the end of Feb. I am so excited. She is getting very fat hopefully triplets=]

Until I write again,
 
Madeline=]
