Good Morning. This past weekend was a weekend of First’s. One of the Horse’s I choose came in first and for a while Mandy and Bonnie’s stables were in a like 2500 way tie along with Jean, Linda, Lori, as well…well let me take that back Jean and I were in last place and now that some 400 took Steve Asmussen as a Trainer those also are the ones that are leading the nation in the Run for the Roses. Oh well such is life first week keeps everyone semi close. Mandy also had two other first’s this weekend. But not with horses. She had solo ensemble and received a first in her solo and a first in the quartette which now she will attend state in both events. Not to brag. But this girl did all her own teachings of the bassoon and coming off playing the flute only and she has learned two instruments other then the flute is pretty good. Tenor Sax which I played in school many years ago and bassoon which the keys are certainly close but the flute requires no reed but a stiffer upper lip and the Sax requires a single reed and a stiffer lower lip and the bassoon is a double reed and requires a whole different positioning of the mouth. I believe she now wants to direct her college studies toward band instruction. Might be good for her.
Other then that there is a race today with Hard Spun who should breeze thru this but you never know.. well all in all I hope everyone had a great weekend. Looks like warmer temps this week, thunder storms due around the end of the week so that means flooding…. Michigan weather!!!!
Have a great day
A huge hug and a pat
Marty
