Some Encounters are just Fiery!

Born this morning between 4 and 730am. Please welcome to the world Fiery Encounter APHA SPB Filly Fire My Jets x Dun Encountered That.She truly is a very VERY sweet filly! She does have some leg barring on the back that we can see so far! So we are shooting for a smokey grullo. I plan on having her genetics done in about a month.

Did I mention that this filly was very sweet?????

Okay so I mean absolutely ADORABLE! I could not have asked for a better cross!

We are finally Moved!

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Trying to move when your husband works 7 days at a time is alot of work. No to mention it is 111 miles one way, BUT we did it. We have been all moved in now for two weeks. The kids are in school and lovin' it(thank the good lord above.) There is plenty of room for the horses and in a few weeks we will have 4 stalls up for the show babies, and the permanent stalls for the stallions.

Here is a picture of our home. This house was built in 1902 which

is part of what appealed to me so much. The people we are purchasing it from went in and completely gutted the house, then didn't finish it. So now we can make the house look how we would like it too. This house used to be a 5 bedroom apartment. The windows upstairs are two bedrooms with a bathroom in the middle. Then there is a front room dinning room kitchen bathroom and bedroom on the bottom floor. The kitchen is huge and so that is the first room I am tackling to decorate!

This is just one piece of our property. I love the old Live Oak trees that grow on the property. Some date back 250yrs or more. Lots and lots of potential.

Since we our in Waurika now it is only fitting to announce.....My family and I can't wait. We are within walking distance from where everything will be! Rides, deep fried turkey legs, kettle corn, corn dogs, funnel cakes and more. (Okay so my diet will be shot for 3 days, but at least me and my family will be having a blast!) It is sure to be ALOT of fun.

Just playin around!

I finally got MY computer back up, which has all my photos and such! So I was playing around with Adobe today! I can't wait till I get the updated Adobe on Friday!

In April I will be having a professional come out and take pics in April after Freedom is all slicked off and I have some of his offspring on the ground!

Boobies or No Boobies?

BOOBIES!

These Udders belong to my mare Fire My Jets or Taxi to all who know and love her. She is on lease with Andrea Schellenberg of Big D.A.Y.S. Quarter Horses. When I dropped Taxi off on the 6th of this month there where NO udders and as far as we could tell no signs of them showing up for a bit. Well BOY where we wrong. Andrea sent me this picture via text this morning. I was blown away, her due date isn't until the first week in April according to the vet. We all have come to the conclusion that she is not going to wait that long. Which is typical of maiden mares. So keep checking back, and we'll keep waiting for those teats to drop as well, and the first Freedom Baby is just around the corner waiting to come out and say Hayyyy!

See the sire Here and the dam as well.

Uncle Gregs' Victrola

During this horrible ice storm that Oklahoma had this past week(pics coming later). We all had to go in and stay with my aunt and uncle for heat. With so much family all in one house, the stories were rolling left and right. Some new, some not so new. Then dad said something to Uncle Greg about the slef that had been sitting by the kitchen door. At which point Uncle Greg told him that was the victrola he had been talking about.

This is the top of the lid. Uncle Gregs Dad bought this at a garage sale when he came back from Vitenam for 15.00. It sat in his grandma's basement for years, and during the holidays, he would go down to the basement drink his grandmas wine and listen to the Victrola. I think some of the records had a little old wine on them still! LOL! He keeps his favorite record on it all the time. It's called "If I'd had known you where coming I'd a baked a cake." I absolutly loved it as well as everyone else.



This is it! All opened up. On the bottom right are the speakers. Storage for all the records on the left, with a drawer above that and a mock drawer across from it.










It still has the Orgianal insturction manuel. Along with a list of all the Victor Records you could by. Amoung all the paper work was an electric bill for 1932 for $2.52. Sorry I forgot to snap a picture of it.











At one point the Uncle Greg said that they where not going to make the needles for the Victrola anymore so his dad bought a whole bunch of them so that he would have them.
It was quite a treat to sit around and think about what people way back when where doing when they listen to the Jazz music or even Cry cry cry, by Johnny cash. There where a few in there like that. But most where old Victor Records.
