ride'm cowboy

My daughter and her husband decided it was time to say good bye to a couple of farm animals. The are going to very good  homes. She and her husband are focusing now on just the chickens and her vegetable she raises for sale.
Before going off to good homes,  Seth our grandson had to get one last ride.

Red is his name and he's a stud who loves attention.   He will lie on his back to get a belly rub and loves to play with burlap bags filled with hay.  He doesn't mind giving a ride either.
 The Jerusalem donkey is thinking he is next.

Notice the donkey is still watching , he knows he is getting his picture taken.

he is a sweet very spoiled donkey

see him smiling

Special Birthday - no not Elvis

Born - wow, 38 years ago.  January 8th  is one of the 3 happiest days of my life, don't get me wrong, I have many happy days in my life, it's just that Annette, Derek and grandson Seth rate at the very top.   I did not post a picture of my son Derek on his b'day on December the 12th,  so I will post one of him now also.  Oh yeah, Elvis shares the same birthday with my daughter.  I have some pictures of Derek here when he was just a little guy, I will post some now that he is older in the next post.

some pics.

can hardly see her,  I remember when I used to take pictures and stand it seemed like a mile away .  I cropped this and it's a little better.

Kentucky Wonders

I am not talking about green beans either, I am talking about my daughter and grandson , Annette and Seth. I am so glad they decided to take an 11 hour trip from their home in Fort Campbell and visit us. No sooner did they get here that we were riding again visiting and seeing some history here in Va.
White house of Confederacy is one, Jefferson and Varina Davis's home. Beautiful interior with 50 percent of furnishings original. I wanted them to see this now as it will be closed (not sure when) in the future with furnishings sent to different museums for viewing. 

 Wish John could be here and hope he will be home soon.
