Thanksgiving 2022

Thursday, November 24 –

Lots of food (esp. desserts) and lots of fun was had at Laredo & Andrea’s house at Afton. The weather wasn’t very nice but it was cozy inside by the woodstove.

The kids table was very active
Daniella very happy with her food!
Chocolate pies
Homemade pizza

We had an Italian theme this year. Lazagne and gnocci with sausage, homemade pizza, yummy sour dough rolls, ham and salad. Plus 8 pies and two cobblers! So no one went home hungry.

Time for pie!
So many choices…

We actually celebrated twice. The Thursday before we were in the Amarillo area for a funeral of a sweet lady. After the services, in the afternoon, we did a little shopping and bought Aspen her birthday present.

The Olive Garden is always a good idea.

I snapped these pictures one evening of Aspen getting her lavender turkeys ready for bed. They’re all very tame and seem very fond of her.

Sunday, March 30

 

Aspen takes her turn in the round pen. She’s riding Virginia, a beautiful Galiceno.

She was quite fresh and tried a few tricks with Aspen.

A few more times around and around…now whoa….backup, backup…stand still…she’s licking her lips, that means she accepts it.

Nathan finished her up and made sure all her little tricks were proved futile. Now she’s being unsaddled. We’ve found the jeep is a great thing for hauling saddles back and forth from the tack shed to the round pen.

Patient Carolina hopes for a turn.
