We bought this 2 horse trailer not long before Jenny's big escape….that day of the family intervention.  Things then were so intense,  there was no time for anything but going.  And then,  when we brought the Goats back from California to here,  there also was no time for anything but the great grief of it.   So the Trailer has never had a good Blessing.  It is actually a Copper color tho looks not so much that here.  

Needs a name.  and i think needs Marks of some sort….the other day when nosing around on the South Wall shelves of the ROOM,  i discovered that i had kept some of my oil paints.  So with those oil paints.  There is a good tube of Mars Violet and one of Paynes Grey….my true loves.  With these i will paint some marks of Just Going.

Travis.  He worked,  WORKED to get the tires off and Her up on blocks.  Packed the wheel bearings.  This week i'll buy the 4 tires and one for a spare.   When we drove back from California that night through RAIN and then into the part of N Mex where they were filming the Johnny Depp movie…when he was Tonto?   We had no spare and it  rubbed at my fear place….that What if…..but she's not like me.  None of them are.  I somehow raised "It'll be Fine"  people.   I've learned to keep my What Ifs to myself.

    The trailer … how many goats are going? Will they all fit? I can’t even imagine it … how do you keep them seperated and safe?

    Yep…moving along, keeping the what if’s in mind and providing for what needs providing for. Wish I were there to help though I’d not be anywhere near the help Travis provides (what a great fellow)…I could help with clean up and entertain Tay, maybe cook up something to share. I’m dreaming while you’re DOING.

    The Turtle that runs through the River, the wallhanging, will like it in CA. It will be home. Where I long to be….but I would miss my babies. My noisy babies. They are here.

    I’ve read that “what if” people (and I am a member of that tribe) are more prepared for life to happen, make decisions quicker; because we have imagined the what if and have considered the possibilities…

    PS in the motorcycle years back in the 80’s I always had one of those cans of compressed air that glued up the hole and would get me to the next service station to repair the tire.

    these are MY questions and the Don’t Worry daughter says
    don’t worry.
    but today i put into motion a Plan B. IF we need it…Travis
    will get another horse trailer to rent. He will drive that.
    I needed this Plan B. the Don’t Worry Plan A had me up at
    3 am.
    They need a certain amount of space but not too much. I’d wanted to find a four horse trailer, but it’s true, as they say, she and granddaughter…too much room sets things up for injury. It’s better they hunker down and sit tight. I remind self over and over that this is just for HOURS on the road, not Forever
