Horses & Pews

Last thursday night went and saw Guy McLean who does horsemanship.  First time I have been to one of his shows, he is funny, has a wonderful way with horses and worth listening too.  I liked his pet bull 'Rider', had me thinking about getting a small bull for myself.  But yet again no room, I so want acreage, larger acreage. 'sigh'  Anyway back to Guy, he lead a horse to saddle so in the end he could ride her but there was a lot of work in between.  Took over an hour and a half to do this.  Apparantly he and his friend who owns the Romeo bloodlines are going over to America.  If you don't know about Romeo bloodlines with the  horses go to Guy McLean's website and follow his links http://www.guymclean.com.au/index.html.  Absolutely amazing to watch the show, just wished I still had my horse.

I scored a church pew, it is 4 foot long has a beautiful high back, needs sanding and a good coat of...... I haven't decided yet, but the best thing, I was in the right place at the right time and scored it for free.  It maybe 1930's or older not sure.  This guy was going to throw it away, and I happened to spot it in the back of his ute and made a comment that he has been antique shopping, short conversation and a short time later have it stuffed in the back of my friends subaru.  

Thank goodness I have learned the art of conversation, which seems to be getting lost in the current times.  People have lost the understanding that it is not all about themselves with conversations and it is a great way of learning new things and different view points.  Yes people do have different opinions but don't slam down your opinions, there is a more gentle way of doing it.  I love hearing about people's lives and what they have been discovering.  Listening is the best way of having a conversation.
