Arkansas Traveler block

 I had picked out fabrics for the purple AT blocks a couple of weeks ago. I finally got a chance to sew them together today. I still need to work on the middle join, but I'm happy with how these blocks are turning out. 

Yesterday, the kids had a half day at school. No horses for us this week as the trainer has her daughters in town for the holiday. Nex weekend, we will be at a Girl Scout Encampment on the gulf. Kyra, the girl Emily rides with on Saturdays had a photography project and asked Emily to model with a horse for it. This was the only day that worked before it was due, so after picking up my kids from school I headed across town to get Kyra and then in a different direction to go to the new stable. They spent a good hour there in the rain, playing with the horses. After the finished with the first horse, Emily pulled this guy out and I snapped this photo of her and Pal, the Palamino she rode last weekend.   

This is Doc, he was the main model for the photos for her project for school. I hear Doc was in one of the Pirates of the Carribean movies. I guess I need to watch them again and see if I can see him. He is a big guy, but a beauty.

I've got a 'small' Prime Rib in the oven. Hubby will be in charge of taking it out at the right temp while I go get the kids. I need to grab another one from Publix, while the price is on sale for the holiday. It seems Emily now pulls a slice from the freezer to eat as an optional dinner option when she doesn't like what I make..... so I need to get another one so we will have some in the freezer for the next few months.
