It's been a busy month for sure! A happy busy though. Getting much accomplished and caught up on things.
Between the jobs, selling a car, having a new puppy and keeping my house clean ~ Bible studies, Sunday school lessons ~ I've also had a few sewing projects requested, in addition to the projects I still need to finish.
Cleo has been an additional companion this week as well. Tim's out of town so she's hanging out with me. Charlie has found the cats more acceptable to his antics, more so than Chanelle. She tolerates him but because of his size she doesn't really like to play. He tends to pounce on her.
Even with everything else going on, I managed to get a saddle fitting and ride in this weekend. It was a short ride, but it felt good to be with my horse for a spell. She turns 29 this week! She still looks good! Even with the 'Cushing's' diagnosis. Her medication seems to be helping, plus I bought clippers and helped her shed out this spring. I still want to do a bit more of a trim for her.
So, I've been asked "why am I selling the car"? As it turns out, I have to streamline my finances and insuring 2 vehicles is a bit much. My horse tack fits in the back of the Jeep, and it's more of a year-round vehicle. Whereas the car is only really good in the summer months. Not a good winter drive. It makes more sense to let go of the car vs letting go of the Jeep.
Someday I hope to get the back bumper fixed and will have to have a new hitch put on, since that ball won't come out (even the mechanic shop tried}. Seems it welded itself in there when the back end caught fire. {Previous owners}. Another reason for the Jeep vs the car ~ I've done my research and the Jeep can pull a horse trailer, so I'm looking for another light weight 2 horse straight load, like the one I used to have. {Still kicking myself for selling it}.
My horse is actually a pony based on her height and weight and an older 2 horse straight load is light weight as well. The combination will still be below the Jeeps towing capacity. Even with 2 horses. Maybe I can trade the car for a trailer? Who knows. I pray about it daily that the Lord will help me with the sale. Don't laugh. God cares about our needs, even the trivial things. I've been very blessed throughout life, so I have faith, He'll help me with this as well.
Blessed by God
