Hey guys! So Alley, Russ and I are on our way to Arizona!
^^) Its 14 hours from home so we still have about 8 hours to go. The car ride has been pretty good so far,
snacking away on Biltong, lol, which is called jerky here! Haha, Alley calls it
BullTongue, She thinks its the funniest thing ever...
Its desert here, like sand and shrub, a couple of hills now and then, its quite cool J. Where we drove for a couple of miles there was just Lava rock everywhere, hard, black and dried up, it was pretty in a way.
So yesterday was a pretty productive day, we fixed the gate,
the one we had planned to fix the day before. Then we saddled the horses and
warmed them up. I rode Ellie, who hasn’t been ridden in a year, she was uneasy
at the beginning, but she was very relaxed by the end of the warmup. So then it
was time to go out, we rode into Milton. Alley rode Gambler and Bre rode Red.
Then we got cleaned up and went off to the Livestock Auction, there was this
little pup that was so lonely and sad, Alley thought about taking it home but,
we were leaving this weekend so she couldn’t stay in the kennels. They were
also selling week old calves, that was not cool cause some of them looked so
sick and weak.
Next was Best Buy, they have this section here called the ‘geek squad’ it is pretty cool, so I needed to get my phone sorted and a charger for my laptop. This really nice guy sorted me a cable, so my laptop is up and running again. My phone works with different cell networks but, it is way more expensive than SA and phones don’t work on the Ranch anyway, so it wasn’t really worth it.
All in all I’m having a great time here! I love Alley and Russ and my new friends Gem, Via and Cara... Via is the cutest German Sheppard and she is full of beans and energy. She loves when we take the quad out into the fields cause she’s a ‘working dog’. Hehe, Gemma is a poodle, she used to sleep by Alley’s feet all night, and then I arrived and she totally ditched Alley and now her, the cat and Via all sleep in my bed. Cara is the cutest, she is a huge slobbery dog, the resident guard dog.
I’m learning how to drive the tractor which is pretty cool, Alley has this Huge tractor and she painted the back pink, lol and yeah cause I love pink :p. Russ has a Tractor too but its a smaller one, the cool thing is its orange J
Alley and I were speaking and we are thinking of teaching Via how to play frisby, so I’ll let you know how that goes! She can really jump high and she does for a stick so its now just to get her to chase a stick. J
We just drove past Essex, I’ve always heard of it, but its
pretty cool that I get to see it! We are staying in this really pretty hotel
tonight, and we booked for a good price, because it is so hot in Arizona, no
one wants to come here, so they are having really good deals at the moment.
Ian would actually love the small towns around here, I was thinking about him cause there are like 5 in every 10 cars are a Mustang or some other muscle car. ^^)
