Been a busy, busy two weeks! Drove down Wednesday, Dec. 16th, in a 15.5 hour haul. I've had a blast, and can't believe I'm headed back to Idaho in a few short days. Perhaps one of the best outcomes of this trip was taking Arcy to her old vet, and getting her put on medication for pain from arthritis which was causing her anxiety and stress attacks (shivering, pacing, panicky eyes). After a week on the meds, she is much, much better. No puffy feet at night, no stress. Much, much better. Will be having a talk with the vet up in Idaho, for sure...
Been horsing around a lot, riding, cleaning, playing around with vaulting with some kid riders. Painting kitchen cupboards at my brother's house, taking Arcy for long walks, visiting former students and catching up with old friends. Went to my house and found the Christmas ornaments, and put a tree up. Need to remember to get a Noble Fir next year. Douglas Firs are quite difficult to ornament properly! Also trimmed the fruit trees at my house.
 Unfortunately, with the rain and the light-speed nature of my days, I haven't taken the kind of pictures I wanted. Ah well. It's all in my head, right? Would have been nice to have a picture of me pitching over the side of Belle when I was showing the girls a vaulting move...
