Thursday, December 16, 2010 - Clean Up Day

Decided that since it's been almost a year since we've been on the road (hard to believe!), we had better do some "spring" cleaning. I had a few things to do in the office, including looking for a hoof practitioner, it's long overdue to have a professional reshape the horses' feet, though I've managed to keep them in pretty good shape over the year. Hubby needs to replace one of his mare's boots, and we were looking at the new Easyboot Glove, which looks a lot easier to put on, but it needs a sure fit, so a trim is necessary to get a proper measurement. I bought a hand rasp that I've been using for the last six months, so hopefully I'll be able to stay on top of it a little more once they're done right. I found someone who does the Ramey method who's almost directly on the way from here to our next destination (which has now changed from the Hill Country Recreation Area to the Parrie Haynes Recreation Area, because most of the Hill Country campgrounds are closed, and the only one open has almost no facilities). After spending most of the afternoon with the both of us cleaning, I ran into town to mail a letter and buy a small carpet steam cleaner (Simply Green by Bissell), the perfect size for an RV at a very reasonable price, and had great reviews on the internet. Settled in for the night when I got back, with lots on the to-do list for tomorrow.
