trouble brewin'?

Well it seems that me n' the equines (Louie, Mairzie n' "Lil Bud)are facin' some hard times. Not that hard but it seems that we may need to relocate from the comfy spot where we're now settled. I just got my RV hunkered down, the fences are holdin' in the horses and Sadie the dog seems right at home, but now comes the problems; SEWER LINES, CRAZY NEIGHBORS 'N AN ANTSY LANDLORD. The sewer lines are supposed to come right down the pasture cuttin' us off from the road with a big ditch for a few months, crazy neighbors I won't go into, you know, crazy drunks and screamin' families...
We got our eyes on a real sweet spot: an old blue barn I once worked with a therapeutic riding program. I know we could fix up them ol' fences n' have a right fine facility, give some lessons, train some horses, heck maybe even make some money. The long ride's still in the offing but right now, well the above explains that. Well we'll see...

More of mice and men...

Well them horses, that little colt and the mare are doin' right well. Lil' Bud's wound is healin' and he's puttin' on weight.
Mayrzie has shed a nasty winter coat n' she's come out bright n' speckled like. She's a beauty now. But here's wherein the plans gone awry. I ain't been gettin' work for about two, goin' on three weeks n' the feed supply has gotten mighty thin, like on ta' none. I neede money I need help. If ya' can go on ta' paypal to markintaos@yahoo.com and drop a dime fer them critters, it ain't fer me it's fer them and thanks much.

Of mice and men

My goodness what a week it's been! Just last Friday this saga began, but, man, I tell ya' it seems like months done gone by. Well it turns out that this pal a' mine's been growin' somethin' in his HEAD that shouldn't a' been there. A tumor.
The tumor was about the size, the man said, of a pocketwatch. It's gone now, he got it cut clean out. You should see the scar, I might just post a photo if'n he don't mind. It AIN'T PRETTY.
On the brighter side...
I found a nice home for two a' them starvin' horses. Real nice fella' up ta' Taos Pueblo, a fine horseman with some nice pasture.
I figured I might just as well keep a couple myself, what with me bein' so rich and all and havin' so much time on my hands. So now I have a small herd. Quite a picture it is at feedin' time. First Mr. Louie looks up and sees me, he nods at Mairzey so she starts walkin' up, Louie right behind her, Lil' Bud followin'. A family.
"The well laid plans of mice and men"
My trip's been postponed but not cancelled, the horses need time for healin' as does my buddy, as do I. I am drained by this experience for reasons which will remain private. But ya' just gotta "do what needs to be done" ya' know?
