Well, alrighty then...

Okay.
So I'm not getting the three "Black Beauty" horses.
That's okay, really.
They are all beautiful and I like all three, but, Father Sarducci isn't in a hurry to be rid of them, he actually likes them well enough to keep them a while and see if he can find someone to actually purchase them, as opposed to giving them away... so far, anyhow. *grin*

Knowing, as I did, that there were a few other horses on tap, I didn't feel a need to push or beg or anything over the first three. In fact, I spent so long talking to Joe and actually like the guy well enough that I did give him some very realistic numbers to use as a "price yardstick" when someone else comes along.
And, he left it by saying that if he hadn't sold them by September (my magic month when the income around here will be restored and then some), he'd call me.
I liked that.

I came back home and grabbed the other girl's phone number and called her.
Met her at the barn.
Met several horses and saw pictures of hers.

Two of them will be here tomorrow, after I get home from work.
*big freekin' grin*

Her horse, Mandy, is being brought back from the Poconos tomorrow morning and she's gonna swing by the barn, grab Miracle and bring 'em on over.

Now, Mandy and Miracle are their names right this minute.
Can't promise they'll stay the same.
Mandy makes me think of Barry Manilow, God help me, and Miracle, which she truly is to me, by the way, just makes me think of mayonaise.
Tho, I do think it's kinda cool that both their names start with "M".

Think what I'm gonna do is think of my list of favorite women... all two of them, and go from there for names.
Who the hell do I like again?

Anyway, they're both Thoroughbreds. Mandy has been a saddle horse for the last at least seven years and Miracle had been winning races, but kept coming up a little lame.
They couldn't pinpoint what the problem was, so decided to "retire" her before they hurt her, thank God.

Now, their ours.
And, they'll be here soon.

I feel ever s'much better.
I still ache for Storm and just thinking about him kills me and makes me still tear up (like right now) but... I think he'd be proud to know it's taking two horses to even begin to fill his space around here.

My poor boy.
I'll always love you Storm and thank you more than I can ever express for everything, for being my buddy for as long as you were and for being in my heart for the rest of forever.
There'll never be another you.

Hell, there may also never be another Appaloosa.
Had three, lost three.
Not a good record, huh?

I know all horses die, but c'mon. I don't need to administer to each and every soon-to-be-gone App in the world, now do I?
Christ, I hope not.
I'm hoping a "non-App" will... not go so soon.

I do believe these girls are significantly younger, too.
I can't remember if I forgot to ask how old they are, or if I did and have just forgotten the answer.

I'm a little fried-minded right now.
(AND, I'm about to burn a bowl.)

Be the first one I've tasted/been aware of since Thursday, too.
Same with cigarettes.
And coffee.

I've had alla these substances the last three days, but haven't been aware of any of them like ya would be usually.
Too freaked out, I guess.

Not now, though.
Just excited now.
Excited and a little... sad still.

It's all good, though.
I'll be fine.
It'll be fine, too.

Now, off to vacuum and get that cuppa coffee my mouth is sooooo craving.

We did it, y'all.
Your thoughts and prayers, my legwork.
We did it.
Thank you and sincerely, God bless you all.

Peace
