Happy Thanksgiving!

 Didn't get too many pictures for Thanksgiving this time around.  But I managed to sneak a few!

 Aunt Lisa opened the mini marshmallows for the yams as Uncle Jim carved the turkey.
And of coarse a Paige picture for today!

Exciting weekend so far!

The long weekend from work has started out with a bang, in more ways than one!
First Laying Phoenix to rest and moving Heidi to Tamarack Farms for boarding. 

Heidi is settling very well, she came running to the gate for me today and she's looking for a buddy.  She's still got a few days before she goes out with any of the others yet.  They just want to make sure she's clear of anything. 
So today I tacked her up, she stood like an angel in the crossties, put her nose on Pepsi's back and just stood there.  And I let her loose in the outdoor arena.  Bit of a mistake was a tad more difficult to catch her and then I put her on the line.  I'd still rather lunge her with the gate closed to the arena, even if she's on a line.  She can rip that line from my hands and I know it.



Then after a couple hours out with her I came home, waited for dad to get home from dropping his deer(see his blog) at a butcher shop to be cut up, and we went out hunting. 
I finally got my own deer!!  I am excited!  Jerky, here we come!!!  She's tiny and it blew a HUGE hole.  Amazingly the heart was not gone, lungs on the other hand . . .
Ayden up on top of my mounting block!  He's modeling his new collar from Lupine.
