Odds,ends and sweet sweet time

 Hey all! I am back! Actually been back a few days but time gets away.

First of all the little getaway was awesome! We were met at the airport by these sweet folks

 Andre and Karin Peninou, my brother in law Marc's parents. I have  known these two since I was 15 so they  feel like family to me. and they treated Martin and I like royalty! Picked us up at the airport ,toured us around and then  drove me to the concert and waited  for me!!! 

And the concert, was AMAZING !!! row 20 on the floor! Her special guests included  3 very talented young men, Il Volo take a minute and listen if you can, these boys are brilliant and with her? pure magic!

Spent Tuesday  just hanging out and shopping with Karin, slipped across the border  for lunch and a visit to Bellingham , which by the way is the area where  folks are looking for  Flirt!!! (if you can help please do,to find this sweet girl !! )

Home again on Wednesday to my  home sweet home and my gang! After being mauled by Winston and Skeeter , I of course had to go make sure my ponies were hale and hearty , and of course in the capable hands of Marc and the neighbor they were! Time away , does make the time home all the sweeter!

The kind gentle eyes of my boys

 Johnny looking handsome as always and the bad foot day is all but forgotten . Actually Go Lightly made a comment on my last post about Johnny and his left hind having some history, some may remember that Johnny was born with a badly twisted  hind leg that eventually  resolved, but it made me think, he does  mostly  very well until we get to his left hind ,and often is good with it , but the odd time... I might see if Kevin  of Bluequine will have a look next time he is around .

Anyhow all are well and time will tell on that rest.Speaking of time. some things  just take time , and patience. and example is Cactus' leg injury  from earlier ,I did not post pics originally  just because they were a bit yucky but if you are ready , here it is 

last warning, it is wrapped here

Ok if you are still looking here it is . 

Taken day 3 after the skin flap was excised.

Actually looked pretty good there for how it originally looked ! 

And here it is today ,still slowly filling in but looks very positive and will likely not scar .

From the front it is barely noticeable at all in fact I could not get a photo from the same angle for before and after that showed it well or at all in fact , from the front  you cannot see the wound at all . So now the title of the post may  make sense . Sweet  sweet time is often what it takes !

Anyhow , it's good to be back, the calendars have come in and I really like how they turned out ,will try to get a post up that showcases them soon . 

But first I have some reading to do , and some  ponies to work with and ,and ...

Stay safe and warm !
