MARTIN DRAFTS

It has been a while since we last spoke and for that i apologize. I have locked myself out of my computer and I need a computer hacker to get me back into it!  I am having to borrow my son's computer to write this until I csn get mine up and running.  Also, i took a fall last week that would rival the most awesome slip and slide ride ever was. I slipped on a puddle of water in the kitchen and went sliding thru the kitchen floor on my side and almost broke my hip. They actually thought I might have broke my hip or pelvis for a while. So I have spent most of last week in and out of the hospital and doctor's offices getting xrays made to make sure that I have no broken bones.

As for horsie news, David, Scott and another horse rider went to Statesville on Thanksgiving and spent the weekend, while my son and I went to Jockeylot in Anderson,S.C. They saw alot of horses and carriages and a LOT of people there and they had a good time. It has been so cold and rainey here that we haven't been able to ride or anything, just do chores, but that is the way it is part of the year.  The babies are due to start to being born right after Christmas, so next time we talk, we may have new additions!!!

Until then, have a safe, blessed,happy  and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
