Hope you all rang out the old and rang in the New Year joyfully!
We did!!!
Not a raucous evening (unless you count going out in my jammies near midnight to check horses). Just reading last years memory highlights and resolution questionnaires and filling out this years while wearing silly hats.
Snuggled up and reading our new Christmas book "The Boxcar Children" in bed.
And then...
Hunting together as a family on New Years Day.
I truly hope this will become a new tradition with us. So far The Farmer seems to have taken to it like a duck to water. He's never foxhunted before although he's played a supporting role behind the scenes.
I had no doubt he'd love it. He's a natural rider and has been training dogs to hunt since he was a kid. Throw in his perfect horse Bonnie The Clyde, kind and helpful fellow hunters and great food afterwards... Who wouldn't love it?!
I am soooooo HAPPY looking over and seeing him riding beside me!
Now my kids, that's a whole 'nother story...
They ride like champs and when we're halfway through I love seeing their smiles beside me.
But it takes 'bout half a hunt before they quit fussing.
THAT'S our New Years resolution; kids STARTING the hunt SMILING.
Thanks largely to their new hunt friends Ms. Susan and teen idol Heather they ended this ride beaming.
The awesome Masters of Carrollton Hunt invite the kids to ride in at the front as they bring hounds in up. My kids were hooked.

Leslie,
My name is Scott Evans and I work in Tractor Supply Co.’s online marketing department.
I’m writing you today for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve seen your website and I think it’d be great for our affiliate program. The affiliate program works like this: you place a Tractor Supply ad banner on your site and when someone clicks on it and makes an online purchase, you’ll receive a commission. The program is very simple to use and costs you absolutely nothing. Secondly, there is a huge event coming up at Tractor Supply named Chick Days, that would impact online sales and generate commissions for you, so this would be a great time to join.
Chick Days is a two month long event at Tractor Supply that celebrates all things chickens. Beginning in February, Chick Days starts and customers can purchase a wide variety of baby chicks in our stores and the supplies and equipment needed to properly care for them. We offer everything a customer needs to support their backyard flock.
This year we are having a Chick Days sales contest for affiliates. The affiliate with the most sales attributed to their website wins the grand prize. I can’t say what that prize is just yet, but I do know it’s something every farm, big or small, can use.
We use LinkShare for our affiliate network. Signing up is fast and easy. Once you’ve signed up, you can search for Tractor Supply, or use our ID 35230, to send an application to join our network.
Here’s the link to sign up >> https://cli.linksynergy.com/cli/publisher/registration/registration.php?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Scott
