This week's rides with Jeanie











I have been feeling a bit down here lately and I thank God every day for the blessings I have in my life. One big blessing is having a wonderful friend like Jeanie. She allows me to ride her personal mule whenever we get together. Her mule is a blast to ride. BIG mule. She just bulldozes through whatever you ask. Be careful what you ask!! We took a few pictures Thursday when we rode and Jeanie got some shots of me that were very different from most pose and shoot deals. I also got a picture of the bridge in the background. That is how close we ride to the highway and no one ever knows we are out there. Very nice relaxing rides. Every once in a while we'll get a little wild on our rides but we feel like we need either Bill or Tom to guide us. If they fall into a hole we won't go that way. But the guys are much more adventuresome. When we rode last Sunday the trail was muddy and slippery but Thursday's ride was great. Of course there were a few mud holes but the mules just plodded right through. Hope you all have a great weekend and those of you that ride I hope you get a chance to ride. We're suppose to go to a fun show on Sunday and that's my birthday. We'll see.

  4. Thanks Val. Jeanie keeps me riding at least twice a week. Need to find time this week to get my mule ready for Decorah for Tim Christopher's All Mule Ride. It's a great ride and fun weekend spending time with mule folk and now and then a horse person comes along. That ride is Oct. 9-11. Riding in the bluffs. Fun, fun, fun!!!!!!!!!

  5. Well Deb, if it wasn't for you, I would ride alone and Jenny would be left in the lot making lots of sad noises. The last time I went to Farmington, my neighbors said she was braying 24 7 until I returned. Love you Grandma Jeanie
