.jpg) It has now been a year since my last post. In the past year, I completed the Paralegal Program, graduating with high honors. I also learned a lot about our Judicial System, having interned for 5 months for Judge David A. Glant, of the 8th Judicial Circuit, at the Levy County Courthouse. I also made a new friend in Wendy Thurow, his Judicial Assistant, who is such a godsend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mary Russ-Tortora, my former race riding colleague and dear friend for over 26 yrs., accompanied me to the ceremony. I was so elated that she would take the time out of her busy life to recognize this achievement with me. It really meant the world to me that she cared and the gift that she and Ricky, her husband, gave me was really unexpected. What a blessing to have such tried, true and trusted friends.
.jpg) Being that the housing deal I had going with my neighbor's daughter fell through, prohibiting me from moving back to NM just yet, I am now applying myself to finding that future employer in the legal camp. Until then, I am steadily employed by Newberry's Backyard Bar-B-Q, in Newberry, and am very thankful that the Lord opened up a job for me among people that work hard, are professional, and run a tight ship, so to speak, at this very clean restaurant, that has outstanding homemade foods.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, as the grass and weeds continue to grow here, I met a man at Sparr builders a few weeks ago, who convinced me that what I really needed was a goat or two to help relieve my burdens. So, then Albert, one of the managers at the Farm supply, gave me the number to the GoatLady of Levy County, Colette Morris.
 Colette and her husband Fred, a Williston Police officer, were very gracious people with their time, talents, and expertise in helping me to learn what all being a proper goat owner would entail. Fred met Colette several years ago, they grew in love, were married, and now, after 2 yrs. of marriage, they live happily ever after on their farm, with all these kids and more!
 More on my new goats...Rocky and Layla, later! Until then, it's time for me to start setting feed for all my kids too, as now I have 2 dogs, 4 cats, a horse, a bird, and 2 goats! :-)' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lara...I'm so glad that you explained your humor, as it went way over my head (as is always the case with what I call "stupid humor") and I'd have missed it. But...now that you've spelled it out...I think it's really funny!
As for my little lawn mowers...I hope they grow into big lawn mowers...as right now, they are "bruise making machines". Little Rocky, the whethered male, loves me to pieces. He jumps on me any way he can, and inside the hay tube, hay net, etc. Meanwhile, Layla, the skitterbug female is starting to become jealous of all Rocky's affections and now she too is allowing me to touch her ever so slightly...if I think she'd not paying attention...then she has to flee...but comes back for more! She is so just like a woman! |

| Why don't you try "running to the border"? It might relieve some stress! |

Michael and Lara...you're both so funny, but let's not forget whose blog you are commenting on...Miss Hot and Spicy herself...Santa Fe Sandy! So what Michael had for breakfast is my kind of food...and...should you all happen to be in my neighborhood, do come see me as I'd love to cook-big for all of you! I'm quite the gourmet chef, and use to have my own business in Santa Fe called...Santa Fe Sandy's!
If you like it hot...I'm the place to go!
P.S. - Michael...could you find me a couple of good chile pepper pics...both red and green?

Lara,
I sure am glad you figured it out, cause I too was wondering where in the world I'd gotten Patti from. Lara, being Canadian, do you know anything about Frank Stronach? I used to ride for Adena Springs South, and the Stronach's have Adena North, in Canada (being Canadians), Adena Central in Kentucky, and Adena South, here in FL.
You can check Adena out at www.adenastallions.com This is who I use to ride for, and for whom 3.5 yrs. ago, I was so severely injured being employed under as well. |
