Game Enabled Again - Finally!

Okay, confession time. Suzanne is a video game nut. Have been since I got my first Atari 2600 - yes that far back. Used to go to lunch with the guys and eat pizza and play video games at Dave & Buster's back in her old "office job" days.

I've been without my PS2 since before we moved because Alfred hooks such things up in his own way & time and it's been a long withdrawal. I broke down and installed a couple of games (horsie kind) on the laptop, just to tide me over.

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY TIMES AGAIN! We are hooked up and ready to go. AND I can still use my Nintendo and my Dreamcast as well.

SEE? Told you I was an addict...........................

Ah yes, the fun of RSS feeds

Ah yes. Yes, yes, yes. Fun and games getting my RSS feed to work for Ravelry

My first attempt at getting an RSS feed to work. We shall see, we shall see. It can't be that hard, right? I mean I managed to subscribe myself to my own RSS feed - TWICE now...................

On the hunt for a new horse trailer


Suzanne's seriously on the hunt for a new horse trailer. To fit the new horse (Kaylee) - the Shire mare. She's convinced she does NOT fit in the current trailer, which she probably doesn't even though she's managed to turn around in it! (Don't ask.....) TWICE!

You WILL note that she's tall. By measurement, only 15.3hh, but there's that neck and head. And the body length. And the body width.

Oh, I can load her. The problem is that she thinks she's loaded in just fine - but the hind legs are still on the ground out back. We can't go down the road that way.

So I'm truly serious - LOOKING FOR A NEW HORSE TRAILER. Probably a slant load, maybe with a ramp, and tall enough for Kaylee (that means a 7-foot plus interior height). If anyone hears of one below $5k somewhere in the central Texas area, let me know...................

Suzanne's chatty again!

Suzanne's coming up for air after the MOVE (last October - right before Taos), the new job as Workshop Czar for Estes Park Wool Market (yeah, glutton for punishment - but they were well-received and I think I've got the job FOREVER), the new horse (Kaylee, a dressage-trained Shire!).

I realized how much I've been missing not blogging like the rest of the world. And I do SO love to talk and journal.

So what's my excuse?????!!!!! Ummm, ahhhh, hmmmm - uhhhhh - if you can think of one, let me know.

I'll do better. I promise. REALLY I will.

To Recap: Moved from Elgin to Georgetown in October. Bigger House, Less land but still acreage (on top of a hill - bigger, fewer trees - real Hill Country). Put the Elgin place on the market in February and sold it within a week. No sheep at the new place (I'd been buying additional fiber for a loooooong time) - better with just the fiber work. Still have plenty of cats, several horses (one new one - Kaylee) and the DH (Alfred).
