MY WISH for 2010

My Wish for You in 2010

May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the many problems you had, forget your home address! May 2010 be the best year of your life!!!

Pride

From “ These Were the Vaqueros”

Collected works of Arnold Rojas

1974

“A man transmits his state of mind to his horse.
A rider who doesn’t have enough pride in his trade to
decorate his outfit with a little silver never rides a good horse,
and a horse that has no pride is never any good.”

Christmas Eve Morning

It was 2 degrees this morning when I went to feed the mares. The wind had died down, the sun was just coming out. The old mare, VooDoo, has her blanket when it gets below 20 degrees and snowy. She had snowballs in her feet, so I took out my knife and dug them out so she wasn't standing on "high heels". I had to chop ice in the stock tank even though there was a heater. Just another cold winter day in Colorado. When it gets really cold I feed heavy the night before so the mares have something in their tummies to keep them warm. Even the mini-donkeys got blanketed last night!

The house is decorated, the lights are all on, candles are lit. The smells of cinnamon and apples fill the kitchen but I haven't gotten around to baking cookies or making fudge yet. The Christmas cards are going to be late - again. Most of my friends who know me well, understand and even look forward to a January Update letter.

On Christmas Day, I will go for a ride in the field. Enjoy your holidays and stop to appreciate the wonderful blessings in your life!
