How Sad!
I hope you have a place close to you for shopping with good prices. Was the walmart a super walmart with food?

Urrrrg.... Big box store comes in and runs the little Ma and Pa places out of business... Then Oh by the way its not profitable here Bye Bye....

Aught to be a law.l... DAM n it

Petsmart did the same thing here started selling horse supplies cheaper than any of the established tack stores.... State line tack... Then Once all the tack stores were out of business then they decide it wasnt profititable enough... Bye Bye Tack....

Only legit tack store left is in Del Mar that I know of.... Close to all the HIght $$$ boarding stables and ranches.... Bridles for 150.00 starting price.... the starting price for a decent saddle new is running about 1500 dollars....

We finally finished up harvesting our downed tree. Best guessament on the amount of wood is 2.5 cords from it. That means only 3 cords away from having next winter's wood in the barn curing. We have an old growth oak tree near the west fence line that died last year. It was damaged when another tree went down in a storm and hit it.Another two plus foot diameter trunk. The neighbor next door offered to help us drop and harvest it for a share of the wood. We will probably take him up on it since we plan to drop the fence to the ground and let the tree fall in the field that belongs to the neighbor.

Taking it easy today. I slid in the mud and landed on my butt late yesterday afternoon out in the chicken run. This morning I'm walking like I'm 90 years old. Worst of all, I need to brush the muck off my pants so I can toss them in the wash. I guess it could have been worse if the ground was dry and hard and I didn't have all that nice soft muck to land in but then if it had been dry I wouldn't have slid and fallen.

@penny1960 your cookies look delicious. I'm still on my diet and slowly loosing weight. 12 pounds so far with another 13 to go....I'm to the point where the weight loss has slowed due to my metabolism adjusting itself which means eat even less and exercise more. May as well go outside and graze on grass and twigs.....

I have not been on a diet but lost 3 pounds. My theory is it melted off in the heat.

The world is going nuts. Out here they keep building new shopping malls and they go out of business and they open more. Everything decent left, and all we get are these"Bistros," they call them for online gambling. I never see anyone in them. Walmart pumped up their prices to the same $$$ the local grocery stores have been getting away with. We have a super Walmart & a Sam's club. They've been closing Sam's clubs all over- expect ours will be next.

It seems like Humpty Dumpty is on a wall and about to fall
