I am amazed that yet another May has nearly escaped us once again. It starts to dawn on you as you embrace life and the time granted to you that each year, month, week, day, hour, even minute is gone forever. If you have ill used it, it is of little consequence as it will never come again.

The saying "Time waits for no one" is so true! However, this May has not been a wash or loss by any sense of the word. I suppose this week has not been of the highest quality with the injuries and now the legalities of insuring appropriate compensation for the damage and losses incurred as a result of a really foolish error on someone's part??? Go figure.

All I know for sure is that in general, if someone is fair and kind hearted in dealing with me I am NOT good at being mean and head strong in such sort of matters! The fact of the matter is the damages are significant and financial affects of the situation are high... Yet, I find myself struggling with the whole process. I am hopeful they are amicable with the whole situation and do what is right without forcing our hand. I have sought legal counsel and professional counsel otherwise in how to best proceed and the fact is solid that they are liable.

I suppose I shouldn't be feeling bad about it though with the consideration of the heads of some oil companies being grilled by the Congressional Committee last week and a couple of them announcing they didn't even know how much they made in the year previous... And they were all well into the million dollar range personally! So, what of holding yet another major gas/oil company accountable for an error on their part that insures that are losses are covered? They won't even come close to a small percentage of such numbers! I suppose it's not so much this but the reality of having to push someone to do the right thing where I am personally involved. Like I said, I don't do mean very well and when I do, it is generally a result of being pushed to a very angry point by someone being rude or unfair. If they do this to me in the near future they may unleash my wrath after all. Yet, at this point in time, I am hopeful for a fair and fast resolve to the whole ordeal and I am not simply talking vet expenses...

So, now that I have vented and ranted a bit on big oil companies and liabilities I am considering that once more I am airing my baggage that no one really cares to hear! Sorry about that! But on the other hand, anyone who has any experience in such situations I would greatly appreciate your in-put and thoughts.

As for the balance of the week - to feel better about the whole matter all one has to do is look out the back side of the house and see our new addition. I am going to have to get after them to give him a name... But for now, little one is fine with me! We are so eagerly awaiting the other mare who we were pretty sure would foal first and is still holding out on us! I am thinking a Palomino colored colt that is second to none and notable since this mare has thrown our best foals for years to date!

I will have to get my rear in gear and post some pictures of the newbies here and on our web page in the very near future. Maybe tomorrow we will have a second bundle of joy to tend to in the morning???? That would be okay with me - even though I have to leave early for my day in Denver for the boys counseling.

The vet will be back out on Saturday afternoon along with the oil guy rep so this should prove to be very interesting... But in the mean time I believe I will try to stay focused on what is good and pure and true and continue to trust the process even in such matters, as I am still sure God is even in this process too! Isn't that wonderful news!!!

Okay, on that note, I'm calling it in for the night and going to bed.

Have a blessed day and if you think of it, say a prayer for the outcome we are facing! Thanks and Love to all!
