Evvie playing her solo for the memorial yesterday. She did amazing!

the group at Kokopelli Winery last night for dinner. We had our own room which was very nice. Good food too.

Grampa's marble slab.

Cool sunset!! clouds above the clouds!! This was taken on the trip to AZ this weekend.


LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


On Tuesday afternoon I had the priviledge to go to ESR and help with a 1minute 30 second commercial that will air at every Spurs basketball game this season. What a hoot!!!! We didn't run on schedule at all, and ended up getting rained out. The pictures from that whole ordeal will come as soon as I get my hands on the disc. We ended up shooting the next afternoon to finish the whole deal, and got everything the director wanted, including a cattle stampede, using me as bait. Yeah... That was fun!!! But my life at ESR is never dull!!!
I love my job!

This cowboy was.... interesting... :P

Here are some for real retired Texas Rangers. Mr. Cody is in the middle. He is very funny, and quite a good sport!!! He had to deal with Maverick, our crazy horse at the ranch for 3 hours. Dealing with Maverick for any length of time could make a saint swear!

Waiting to shoot the final Jailhouse scene.

So... My friend Matt happened to have a spare PC lying around, and so one evening he came over and was able to pull
all my info off my old hard drive and install it on my new (old) PC.
What a mess!!!!!!

Thank you so much, Matt!!!! You are awesome!!! I love my new computer!!!!

And our new baby!!! at 15 months old, Eclipse stands at about 5'6 at his back, and he has a long way to go!!!

My friend Kate had her Percheron baby delivered 2 weeks ago. Meet Eclipse!

Here are some assorted pictures from my trip to MI. I am SO writing 3 books in the Common Knowledge Among Horse People series. The first one is titled: 1 . Trailer for less: You CAN do it! A practical guide to help you restore your horse trailer without breaking the bank! 2. Don't Spit In My Truck! The hilarious journey of 3 cowgirls as they cross the United States in a miraculous 3 day trip, despite huge obstacles. 3. Woven Proof that miracles do happen: Annick's chronicle of how the journey began. (The end of this story still remains to be written) I am dead serious about theses books, although I won't be finishing them til January at the earliest. So anyways, here are a few pictures to sum up the trip (sort of) and now that I have a camera, I'll try to be more faithful about posting!!! Howdy, Y'all!!! this was taken the first day of the trip back to MI

The Last Supper. This was on Friday night in AR. We stopped at a Wal Mart to get some real food and let the horses eat., drink and be merry (ok, rest...) for 2 hours while the humans sat in the parking lot and drank milk shakes. Yum!!

Brite in his part of the trailer. We found out the last day why the boys were "eating" their hay out of the hay bags so fast... Brite would stand there and just pull the hay out and paw it up into a big hump underneath himself!!!!! The little pig!!! there was almost half a bale under him!!!!

Mat and Sugar on Saturday night at the Kraus's. What a hoot!!! Talk about a good time... You could probably hear us laughing a mile away...

Sunday afternoon Mat & Kate took us on a tour of their ranch (as of now) and we went 4-wheeling in the lake!!!!! Or what used to be the lake...







Last but not least, a picture of me riding with Mat (invisble) Just after we climbed a 50 degree rock wall on the way to go drive around in the lake. As you can see I was terrified... WaHOO!! what a ride!!!

I wrote this song for my little David, my special buddy when his parents held him as he went to be with Jesus a few years ago. The pain from that day is still as fresh on my heart as on the day I heard he had gone home. May heart aches for the Wegner family, as they feel the empty spot that Jonathan left behind.

Welcome home little Jonathan, We love you so much, and we can't wait to see you again :)


~Love,
Annick

I need a name for my work at the ranch, here are a few suggestions. I'd like it to be original and of course, COOL! Vote on one or create your own!

The shirt was pretty much made up.. The next 2 shirts will turn out better I think, now I know what I need to change.
