A day off with my husband!
Mark and I do not get to spend much time together these days, When he is off I have to work or I'm off and he is at work. Last Tuesday however we both had the day off, WhooHoo! We started with hey lets sleep in, hey that did not work out so well, we have to get up so early normally that by 7:00am (that is at least 2 hours more sleep that normal) we were up. Mark and I decided to go for a ride since it has been so long since I have had the chance to ride. It was nice to see the grass so tall but it is getting dry so I hope we have no fires! The grasshoppers are also getting really bad. Mark and I rode for a couple hours and then headed back, Mark had told Ray(his dad) that if he was up to it when we got back he would find a way to let him ride, Ray was so excited!When we got back Mark got a two step ladder out I held the horse and Mark tried out a few ways to get his dad up and when he figured it out, up Ray went!! He was thrilled, Mark walked along the side of the horse and up and down the driveway they went. After a few times Ray smiled and told Mark just one more time, OK? Mark told him we had all day. I remember all the years of riding with Ray, to move cows, sort cows or just to check on cows it broke my heart to see Ray needed to have his son walk along side him and it made me smile to see him on a horse again, it sucks when parents get old! Mark and I are going to keep trying to make time to get his dad back in the saddle, I think it will help Ray so much! After the ride we ate lunch with Ray & Betty, (that is something we have not got to do for a long time!)
Then Mark and I got cleaned up and went to Angie's for BBQ Burgers and off to the Movie's we went. We went to the new Harry Potter movie, I think it was the best one yet! all in all what a nice day off!
