**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I love stained glass…I fell in love with it years ago….. I found myself sitting in fairly empty churches….. …..just me and the dust motes….. …..watching the different angles of the sun’s rays angling through the stained glass windows….. I’m not a Sunday church goer….. …..but I love hanging out…sitting in pews…and quietly watching the windows…they have so much to say….. I like the smell of old damp stone churches…or age-dried wooden ones……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I’m in the process of launching back into working with stained glass….. I’ve missed it….. The porch is all closed in and waterproofed now….. The floor fans and ceiling fans are ready to go…albeit…we have no working electrical outlets out there yet…but an extension cord into the kitchen will work just fine for now….. …..(fuse box willing)….. Between old home renovations and health-hiccups…my working with sharp shards of glass and dangerous noxious fumes…

So many things to write about. I hadn’t been that shaky tired for a long time.  My truck even sighed and died (temporarily) at one of the Hunts.  I had to be jumped and then get two new batteries.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My stained glass panel sold at the Silent Auction during the Ball, as well as my silly painting.  So I made a little bit of money for our Hunt. I’ve finally gotten the photos on the computer, so here…

~~~The All Florida Meet~~~ It’s a marathon…………….not a sprint.       I hope I survive.  I’ve been a member of this Hunt for about seventeen or eighteen years now, and I’ve never Hunted in the All Florida Meet. Our family is usually obligated to the Florida State Fair Dairy Goat Show, or Draft Horse Show, or Poultry Show &/or Irish Wolfhound Exhibition. But this year, Lola bought my ticket and our only obligations to the State Fair were two…

Hunt Horses ~~~They’re All Great~~~Every Single One

We were just at a post-show/make-shift/bonfire/tail-gate.  Bring a dish, bring a chair, sit and talk. Talk about horses, talk about life, talk about hay, and the rain, and the heat.  Talk about hounds, talk about trucks & their engines & the repairs & the tires.  And oh, talk about the horses again. Talk about new Hunt horses, old Hunt horses, mustangs, and falls from horses, bits, and bail-outs (and I’m not talking corporate). All Hunt horses are great.  Even the…

There are a lot of skills that I don’t have.  There are a lot of things that I don’t know how to do.  I have found that the acquisition of power-tools does not necessarily mean that you know how to use them.  I have also discovered that a number of “skilled” workmen have the same tools that I do and don’t know how to use them either………………………(tools & corresponding skills are not gender-appointed).              …
