Meet the Family

Guess you got to meet the family this weekend.

It was funny when Hubby Honey approached me about writing on the blog. He was almost apologetic because he wanted to be a part of it.

Hey, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be here to have any of this to write about. His grandbabies, are my grandbabies, and vice versa. If he hadn't had an interest in horses also, none of this would be. He and I might still be, but we wouldn't have our ranch(ette). We wouldn't be spending the money we spend on our horses. Over time we wouldn't have had ten horses. He spoils me, but I don't think he would have spoiled me that much.

So, please welcome another contributor to the blog, gimpajon aka Hubby Honey.

We've been looking for some pictures to put here. Had quite a few we just couldn't seem to locate. Hubby Honey called his son to find out if they knew how to get into Yahoo where we used to have pictures. Found out from Kristen, his son's wife, there is no longer a place on Yahoo for photos. Well, there is, it's just now called Flickr. And, if we didn't respond to an email that was sent informing us of the change, we probably don't have any way to get those pictures. We don't remember getting an email, but....

That doesn't make me very happy. One of those learning things. Always back up your important stuff. Even if it's somewhere you think will be there forever. It's like your favorite restaurant, one evening you go there for your favorite dish, and the doors are closed and locked. The place is totally dark. Gone, all gone.

Kinda like Hubby Honey's kids, Nana. Their grandma. She was just recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. People you think will always be there, just cause. They might not always be there, so be sure to backup the important stuff, often.

Okay, maybe with your favorite restaurant there was no way to get the secret recipes, and if you had eaten there too often, you might now weight 600 pounds. Maybe the restaurant wasn't a good example to use.

How about with the horses? This does relate to horses. When working with one of them, they will remember the last thing done with them, good or bad. That's why in the training of Goldee (which can be read at: http://blog.no-upper-limit.com/) I must always leave her when she is calm and relaxed. When I am done with a training session, I must back up the thinking, learning side of her brain not the reactive side. Whatever I leave her with, is what she will remember.

I should have known to backup the pictures, even if it was Yahoo. You need to let people know often how important they are to you. Always back up the good, cause you just never know when it could be lost.
