for spritely...like every day, today is do whatever you want to do today.

i want to just stand near to spritely and fill up my eyes forever with her.
that's not going to happen because not only do i have a bunch of stuff i have to do....but i am sure me peering at her constantly would make her nervous and disrupt her peace in today.
oh well, she will fill up my chest today and i will take her with me while i take care of stuff.
first on my agenda is a quick trip into maple ridge. i feel disgustingly dirty and need a hot bath. i don't dare stress the well out yet with using that precious water, so off to my family home to use some of their endless supply.
then a tour for prospective new volunteers of saints. and finally lunch with sheila for the handover of the funds raised at the fundraiser night. the net, clear total was $17,500...great job guys!!!! that will clear the current vet bills, pay 4 weeks wages and pay for the just stocked up barn feeds to cover the next 2 months.
there is another fundraiser happening in mid october hosted by some new friends of ours, but i don't think it is on the events page yet but keep checking cuz it should be up there soon. and laura and lana are planning another bake sale at the end of next month (so everyone start baking!)...we should be ok now til we get the christmas letter written and out and the holiday season donations come in. i hope.
ok...if i am going to have a nice long hot bath filled with spritely flitting thru my brain undisturbed..i better move.
today will be for her a beautiful day filled with warm sunshine, simple contentment and gentle peace (and when i get home, some extra apples too.)
Hi Carol,
I write this with a heavy heart as I have sponsored Spritely for some time now and am really glad I did. She is a magnificent horse, so beautiful inside and out. Please give her a hug from me. May you rest in peace Spritely. You gave so many people so much joy. You will be missed as much as you are loved. Vi
