Show Time, Take 2

This past Saturday (Sept. 8th) my trainer Audrey and I went to compete in a horse show at Gray Lily Farm in Havana, Fl. The show went very well with Audrey and I each placing in all of our classes. I got a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in my four classes and was very pleased with the way Reno and I are working together now. We're really starting to become a team and all the hard work is paying off! Here are some pictures from the show:

Hey Y'All!

Over Labor Day weekend this year Jesson and I went to Savannah, GA. Neither of us had ever been and we wanted to go on a little adventure not too far from home. The drive was short (only 3 1/2 hours) and the town was new and fun. There were many historic, older homes that took you back to a "Gone With the Wind" era. There were also many wonderful shops, restaurants, and old churches for us to explore. It was a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Below are some pictures we took while we were there:
This is historic River Street in Savannah. There were many art galleries as well as candy kitchens and souvenir shops along the river.
This was our lunch at the Express Bakery & Deli. This was by far our favorite place in Savannah. We had their Honey Ginger Chicken Sandwich, Homemade Bread Pudding, Curried Cream of Chicken Soup, and Blueberry Danish. It was the best!
Jesson and I found this great kitchen store just across from the bakery. They had all sorts of fun gadgets and even offered cooking classes.

This is Paula Dean's restaurant. There was always a huge crowd outside that was spilling into the street. You had to wait outside for 3-4 hours just to make a reservation! Needless to say, we didn't eat there!

Though we didn't eat at the Paula Dean Restaurant we did shop in her store and get some great sauces and salad dressings that we can't wait to try out!

On our last night in town Jesson and I went out to a very nice dinner at 700 Drayton. We would highly recommend this to anyone who goes to Savannah!

Random Happenings

Below are some random pictures of things that have happened over the last month or so.

Nano likes to help me when we drive out to the farm.

Mom and Dad came to visit one weekend and the boys decided to
take a nap with Dad on the couch!

That same weekend we went shopping and Mom and I lost all the guys. We found them parked on a bench happily eating ice cream!

Nano got a new coat that he loves very much.
