Papa’s World – Taylors world of horses!

Taylor is at the barn getting a bit ready for her horse.

Ask her if she loves being in the barn and she says YES!

She rides once a week but any spare time she has –

She is at the barn – cleaning stalls – brushing down the horses!

Here she got the horse out of the stall, attached the bit, and brushed it down!

She loves this –

It doesn’t bother her with the smell or cleaning the stalls!

After placing the saddle on –

she walks the horse around the fenced-in yard.

She talks to the horse who has not been ridden in a couple weeks.

Soon – they trusted each other!

Now they walk as one – around and around the corral!

This went on for a good fifteen minutes!

Now it is the time she has been waiting for

The riding lesson –

walking and then trotting around and around and jumping!

Our granddaughter is a full-fledged horsewoman!

Taylor – her thoughts turn to the barn and the horses whenever she has free time!

Her first ride was when she was about four years old!

Someday she yearns to own her own horse!

Papa’s World – The walk through – pushed up!

It was Thursday – 6-25-20 – almost 4 PM. – we had to stop at Harris Teeter.

That was the moment Sherry got the text!

From our real estate rep.

” THE BUYERS WANTED TO DO THE WALK THROUGH AT 9:30 AM.”

Instead of Monday – it would be the next day!

We had less than 17 1/2 hours!

Now did we panic – I did but my stable other half

remained cool – calm and collected!

“Okay – we will do this – and by 8:00 AM. – we will be done”!

That is when we went into over drive!

We had just made our next to last trip to our daughters house.

Taking most of our clothes – shoes etc.

We knew we had one more trip to the storage unit.

The final load would be our day to day things.

That – I had hoped – would take one trip!

The biggest problem – it was our wedding day – 38 years ago!

And we had planned to go out for the first time in 103 days!

A actual sit down dinner – as we are now able to do that!

Well – we shall see – but first – we can do this!

And then if we have time – we will go she said!

And we did it! We finished packing up !

Loaded the car and made that final trip to the storage unit!

She texted our daughter – we will be staying Friday night

instead of Sunday night!

Now it is around 2:45 am. I woke up –

after a little over five hours of sleep!

I am down stairs – first cup of coffee done.

I look around – we will strip the bed – and pack the car.

Then – the final clean.

It will be done by 8:30 am.

And we will be on our way to our daughters house!

Oh – I forgot to mention – I had to mow the lawn!

My plan had been to do it Thursday evening and it was long

with all the rain and hot sunny days! DONE!!!

This will be my last blog from our home.

The house will be empty except what they purchased

plus numerous other household goods we left.

Another chapter has come to a close – the book remains.

We are living as my blog reads –

Only – she has stabled my life – cool – calm & collected!

Thank you for reading Papa’s World.

WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!
