I thought I would lead off with a picture of ....Gator! This is my sweet boy who survived one of the most horrible injuries a foal could have and not be put down. If you want to see a small glimpse of what this wound looked like, go to

Here you will see a couple of pictures. Maybe someday I will post the really graphic pictures of the wound right after it happened. Anyway, I thought Iwould let Gator open up today's post.
Mom, dad, Alex, Katie, and I went to the 2006 All AmericanQuarter Horse Congress. It is a 3 week long convention dedicated entirely (and only to) to quarter horses. I absolutely cannot believe the amount of money generated in this industry! All this money on a horse who wins a blue ribbon! Go figure. Give me a racehorse who at least has the chance to pay for himself anyday. We go up there to "shop". Alex got some cowboy boots, and I got some rubber knee-high boots, and we got some new halters for the babies.
After the Congress, we went to Tuttle Mall and got the boys some clothes. Alex needs new jeans, as he is growing so tall. Andy got some new sweatshirts, of which he promptly took one and ran when we got home (he had to leave for marching band...game night tonight).
Well, I have to get..more homework to do.
