getting home & back to life....

Well I finally made it home from vernal on the 1st of August. not a whole bunch has been going on since then....I got offered a detail to go to Washington, but then turned down the order when they wouldn't authorize paying for my rental car & I wasn't about to pay out of pocket for it!
We took our horses for a ride the other night & I'm not sure what got into them but they were sure full of it & feeling good. I was ponying the mustang behind my horse & had him dallied to the saddle horn ( which is how I always ride when I take the 2 of them) & Tom tells me that I shouldn't dally him to my horn...so for the sake of not arguing I undallied & just led him well as soon as we got up the road a ways he hung back & I had to let go so the mustang goes running down the street full speed towards this lady who is walking 1 dog & carrying another. She starts screaming!!!! lol I know it probably scared the hell out her but all we could do was look at each other & laugh. Morgan our neighbor out there walked out & helped us catch the horse who was clearly feeling better ( he has been hurt for a couple weeks) & we went home BUT the moral to this story is I DO KNOW WHAT I'M DOING TOM!!!!!!!
in other news.....Tom had a fire last night & didn't get home until like 1130. Usually he is tired & doesn't want to tell me all the details, he just wants to go to sleep....but he woke me up & told me that the reason the fire started was because a little old man was trying to burn weeds & it got out from under him..when they arrived on scene they found the old man passed out in the grass near the fire from exertion...the ambulance checked him out & he was fine The old man started to cry & told Tom there was no way that he could pay for starting the fire, all he owned was the camp trailer that he lived in, a dog & 2 pigs & he hadn't eaten in 2 days....that's heartbreaking.....then my husbands favorite boss insisted that they "investigate" the fire, Tom told me last night that the poor little old guy had nothing & when it came time for him to hand in the investigation paperwork & suppression costs he may "accidentally" loose them.....This is why I love Tom so much! He has such a great heart & is such a caring person who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone out :) Love you babe xoxo
