http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3 Country Haven Ranch blog for Miniature Horses, Boer, and Dairy Goats Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:07:29 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I was talking with some friends the other day about how today's young adults can't imagine a life before the Internet and constant connection with cellphones, text messaging, IMs and blogs... now that I think about it those of us that were they're parents and grandparents may just have been ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/16/the-wayback-machine-4-2/ I love flowers. Just about any flowers on Mother's Day are perfect and I adore the delightful vases I've received over the years to use over and over, some have even given that extra bonus of being daily useful such as coffee cups. I have a couple that I truly ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/16/get-mom-a-mothers-day-plant-that-will-keep-the-thought-alive-all-year/ Very VERY way back--this one is from the early 80's. Me and Bob and Nicole as a (I think--I should have dated the picture) 2-year-old. http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/way-back-machine-3/ Having owned just about every conceivable pet type animal you can imagine I've also bought a wide variety of pet supplements. Jeffers is one of my favorite places to shop online to find products for all types of animals from indoor house pets to livestock. They are great. Pet supplements ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/healthy-pets/ This is really way back... probably circa 1978 or so. It is a picture of a drill team I was on with one of my horses, a saddlebred named Prince Albert. I appologize for the darkness of the picture, that's how the original is but nothing you can do about ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/way-back-machine-2/ I'd like to think that I had the money to just go out and buy whatever I wanted. However, that's not the case even though I can't claim abstract poverty. I recently bought a new easy chair recliner (with vibrating massage--I love it) and although it's a great chair it ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/great-deals-make-redecorating-fun/ Allrighty then. In case you are too young to remember the old cartoon with Professor Know-it-all and Simon the way back machine took the pair back in time to discover important events in history--well, I entered my own way back machine this morning when I found an old photo album. ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/fire-up-the-way-back-machine-simon/ I'm pretty sure now if I had to re-enter the outside workforce and leave my home office behind I'd be doing an IT job search. It's funny because prior to 2000 I would never have thought of that as an option. I knew IT people at companies I worked for, ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/is-it-it/ I'm watching Jurassic Park. This is a movie so well-done that it doesn't appear dated even 14 years later. Produced in 1993 it is as fresh looking today as it was back then, and the part when they first show the field of Brontosauras is still as magnificent as it ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/jurassic-park-again/ Working with large animals like horses, goats, sheep, pigs and cows over the years I've learned that farming can be dangerous. It takes specific safety equipment as much as any construction or factory worker would. While the types of safety equipment are different not paying attention to their need can ... http://countryhavenranch.com/blog3/2009/04/02/safety-first-2/
