" Don't Spit in My Truck!"  

Posted by ~Jill

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...

From Nikpix
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!!!
