Okay, I have to admit... This has been a pretty good week, in as I have accomplished many of the things I would have set out to, the kids have been somewhat productive, and in a marginally good space over all.

Therefore all I can say is...."It's all good."

However, isn't it always so true, the happier you are, the smoother things go, the faster time gets away from you. Let things be going wrong, upside down and inside out and the time passes just about as slow as it possibly can!

So, tomorrow is Friday - is this to be the revision of last Friday's notice on "The Big House on the Hill"? I don't know.... I do know that I still have the picture posted on the desk above my computer monitor as a gentle reminder of positive thinking... Law of Attraction... The Secret as it is.... My my, why would I need such a reminder? lol

Yesterday was good in that we haltered the three babies - nearly yearlings now, but babies nonetheless to me. I had let it go far too long as a result of the two being from the mares we rescued last year and with the sheer consideration I had no ability to isolate them to work with them individually, then winter and short days, the time just got away from me. However, with a desperate need to have their hooves trimmed, I knew I had to get going on this little "big" project. So, after haltering, we got them wormed (a tube of medicated gel that removes any parasites from their system - much like worming a dog).

I did the walk by observation of the pregnant mares that I could and it's safe to say we have at least four mares bred and due to foal this summer. Actually, upon looking a the breeding dates, my old mare that I never dreamed would take could be due at any time from mid May to mid June, so it's coming up pretty fast. As with all things of God, the science in predictions is less than accurate most of the time.

I was finally able to submit my request for the publisher’s net website that comes with my publishing contract. I couldn't complete the request prior as it required a ISBN number for the book. Ah- Ha, it must be nearing completion for sure as I have that piece of information now too! Yes, still excited no doubt!

I want to do some advertising for the book, but my goodness advertising is costly! The publisher will do press releases and such, but it would be beneficial for me to increase the exposure on my own as well.

This is but one outlet to report such things and even though I have been pinging this blog and cross referencing it over to the other one, I know to date the exposure is limited at best. However, it has been very good for me and has also connected me more closely to several friends and family members. This is worth it in itself.

So, any great ideas for promoting will be greatly appreciated... Please send me your thoughts and ideas!

About today, I had promised the boys a trip away from the house after they completed their basic chores but they kept working and then Chad went to start moving piles of manure to the pasture while they were hard at work. I surely wasn’t going to stop progress in that area! So, instead we stopped at Kersey Pizza for ice cream cones while my Mom got her hair done up the street.

Since they did do quite a bit today, we're going to take our drive tomorrow instead. Again, "it's all good". Maybe we'll drive to Estes Park and drive around to find the Elk... We'll have to see where the day takes us, but I'm sure no matter where we go we'll enjoy our day.

Today's blog apparently has no major message in it, perhaps not so inspiring... But then again, a good day should be inspirational in itself.

I am going to add another post to this one with some lead ins to my book... So keep reading!

Otherwise, good night, sweet dreams and may God bless you and keep you until we meet again here tomorrow.

Love to all!
