Happy Birthday Chip!

Today is Chips birthday, so this post is dedicated to him, the love of my life. Happy Happy Birthday to you, my love, and many many more. You are my best friend, mentor, confidante, partner and so many more wonderful things. Life just keeps getting better and better everyday because of you and your wit, wisdom, love and support. I love the way you feel about the animals, about keeping promises, being loyal. I wish for you all the wonderful things you desire, and know that together we will make them all come true. You are truly the most wonderful man in the world! I love you!

We had a "surprise" party for Chip yesterday, in the guise of a family reunion committee meeting. Amy brought pizzas, and gave Chip a shot glass on a necklace and a drink cozy. Bonnie gave him the cutest card that sings. Al and Nancy came over and gave him a package of chamois cloths and some wax for his new tractor. So we had pizza and cake and sang Happy Birthday to him and he really did enjoy the day. Then the guys all went out to talk about the tractor, and us girls sat and talked. I was really glad to see Al and Nancy come over and spend some time. Then the kids came back and they had little Jessica on Ringer. We couldn't figure out what they were leading her with, and here, Hannah had found an old bridle in the tack room. They couldn't figure out how to get it on her so they just looped the reins around Ringers neck and led her up to the house. Good job girls, but you are very lucky that Jess didn't get hurt. So we got Shadow out and saddled him up and rode for a bit. I wanted to use Shadow since Karen is coming over today to ride and I want him to get used to it. After everyone left, we had the evening to ourselves. So it was a good day and he really enjoyed all the attention.

And today is a new day and Karen is coming over and we will cook out and have a great time, yes we will. Have to go and meet Karen now, but will be back later with an update on the day.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
