Jared Ammon's girlfriend Ellie is vegan so she and Jared went shopping this morning.
James went to the post office this morning. The Tignor's told us that because the post office doesn't deliver to their home that they get their post office box for free. They don't deliver to our home but we pay $160 a year for our box. James went in this morning to talk to John the postmaster here in Vernon. He gave him our address to prove we were out of the delivery area. We have to get a new box, a smaller one, but we won't be paying the $160 which is due the end of April. We got new keys and had to turn our old ones in. The new ones cost $10. Hurray for free mail boxes.
James picked up the mail. I got my new white cardigan sweater which wasn't due to come until Monday. Now I can wear it with my new dress on Sunday.
This afternoon Jared Ammon and Ellie wanted to ride the horses. James saddled Apollo and Jared saddled Luna. Jared wanted to ride Apollo because he heard that Joshua rode him when he was up here in December. I don't think either horse has been ridden since December. Jared rode for awhile but Apollo wouldn't mind him and kept going back to the stable. James said, "Let me ride him." This is when the real trouble began.
James got on Apollo and the bucking began. He had the reins wrapped around his right hand and thought he was going to hurt his hand so he unwrapped the reins. Also he didn't adjust the stirrups from when Jared had ridden so he didn't have that anchor. As soon as he let go of the reins Apollo bucked James's hit the saddle horn and off he went. He landed hard on the ground on his backside, using his right arm to break his fall. In spite of this fall he got back on Apollo and made him mind.
I have never seen a bruise as big as the one on James's backside. The bruise on his rear end is as big as a volleyball. He injured his leg and knee and his right arm. This on top of all of his other aches and pains. If we are going to have horses to ride they need to be ridden more often so they are not so wild. Who is to ride them now. James won't be getting on for quite awhile.
I made some beef with gravy out of the stew meat I had in the frig. Jared and I ate it over noodles and James ate his over a slice of bread. It was quite good.
This afternoon James and I made a trip to Dollar General to get some different dog food. Sammy and Tom don't like the flavor I last bought. It is beef and salmon. I don't think they like the beef. James got a big bag of chicken, turkey, salmon, and fish. I hope they like it because this bag is going to last for awhile.
I worked on my lesson for awhile this afternoon and put scripture references on the friendship bracelets I bought for handouts.
James and I are listening to a new book. It is by Anita Stansfield and is a 3 book series. This one is called, "The Sound of Rain" vol. 1.
Tom slept outside again tonight. We went to bed before Michael, Dallin, Namira, Joe, and Max arrived. Jared waited up for them and they stayed up until about 1 a.m.
two black and two gray. Kathy says at least
one of them has a ringtail like Sammy's.
She thinks Sammy is the dad.
