Wednesday

Fell asleep exhausted last night. Getting the logs in place down at the arena shoveling, dragging and carrying on in the pressing humidity. Man, I get out of breath just tying my shoes! (Maybe the reason I wear boots mostly...)

Missed the Derby Amateaur Finals. They didn't start until way past midnight our time and there was no way to keep my eyes open. S T Peek didn't exactly light things up with his 205, but made almost $1.300 never the less. The winner, Wiley Cat had a strong 221 showing for owner/rider Deb Harold. Wiley Cat (High Brow Cat-Miss Echo Wood) has his papers in order too being full brother to Miss Woody Two Shoes $136.000, Wild Haired Cat $134.000 and 3/4 brother to Little Belly Dancer (High Brow Hickory) $91.000. We'll see if the duo can repeat in the Derby Non-Pro later this week.

Annelie and Ida took a trip to the zoo last night. Ida was jumping up and down with excitement when they got home! Couldn´t wait to tell of all the animals they saw. Pictures to come shortly.
