Well, we didn't get to go.
Woke up this morning to THE STRANGEST thing EVER!!!!!
OUR FENCE WAS STOLEN...POSTS AND ALL!!!!
I mean, C'MON!!! WHO does THAT???!!!???!!! :arg!
THANKFULLY and incredibly enough, ALL our horses are here, safe and sound! I always bring them up to the paddock pens I have up here by the house every night, because of the bears out here. If not for having done that though, all our horses would be off to who knows where!!!
I tell ya, I've ran the whole gammit of emotions today!!! From UTTER BEWILDERMENT as to WHO DOES THAT KIND OF THING, to WHY, to FUMING MAD, to THANKFULLNESS that the horses are all OK at least, then back to FUMING MAD, and on into BEWILDERMENT...and well...you get the picture!!!!
We don't have much, we work HARD, VERY HARD for what little we do have, and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, we are THE FIRST to offer a helping hand to any neighbor, stranger or not. If it's known to us that anyone may be in any need, we ALWAYS do anything within our means of ability to help our neighbors in their time of need. This past February was THE truest test to our testiment in that! You need something???? HERE...let's work together and figure out how we can help you meet your NEEDS.... NEEDS mind you... key word there!!!
And THEN... THEN...to go have someone just TOTALLY come and TAKE FROM US LIKE THIS!!!!!!! I tell ya... it COMPLETELY SUCKS THE HEART RIGHT OUT OF YA!!!!!
Well now... there I go... BACK TO FUMING MAD AGAIN!!!!!
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA... ANY IDEA AT ALL... just what all it has taken us, just the two of us, JUST to get that fence put up in the first place???? ANY IDEA AT ALL.... I'm asking, does ANYBODY OUT THERE even give ONE SINGLE I-O-TA of all it took for us JUST to get that BLASTED FENCE PUT UP??????
IT TOOK EVERY LAST PENNY, AND THEN SOME.... MONTHS AND MONTHS of HARD WORK in LABOR JUST TO SINK ALL THOSE POSTS???? JUST THE TWO OF US ...NONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS CAME OUT TO HELP WITH IT...THAT'S FOR BLAME SURE!!!!!
THEN TO GO AND JUST TAKE IT....POSTS AND ALL????? Nothing left of it, but the BLASTED HOLES were the posts WERE all sunk?????
I mean...C'mon???? WHO....WHO?????? WHO DOES THAT???????
Must've took 'em all blasted night!!!!!!! Hope they got PLENTY OF SPLENTERS from their labor!!!! Sure as shootin' can't get any VOLUNTEERS to come lend a helping hand to put it all up, but they sure as shootin VOLUNTEER TO COME HELP THEMSELVES TO TAKING IT!!!!
Well....that's THE LAST STRAW!!!!! FAIR WARNING PEOPLE!!!!!! I AIN"T SO INCLINE TO BE A "Nice Lady" ANYMORE!!!!! SLAP ME UPSIDE THE HEAD ONE TIME TO MANY!!!! I"m FINISHED WITH LETTING FOLKS STEAL FROM ME!!!! YOU WANNA TAKE ANYTHING MORE FROM ME???? DO YA????
