Just Following Advice...

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine suggested that a good start on posting more regularly would be every three months... I just looked at the date of my last post and realized that I'm pushing that time frame! I have serious doubts as if I will ever be an every-week kind of blogger, but perhaps I can attempt more regularity at the very least.

Anyhow, things are humming along here at the Batzer Homestead and Twin Mountain Saddlery. We just enjoyed the Fredonia Homecoming festivities. JP and I were on the Cub Scout float in the parade and I had a booth for TMS on the square afterwards. It was an enjoyable (albeit exhausting) day!

And now we're heading full steam into my favorite time of the the year... Fall (or Autumn, depending on what mood one is in). What's not to love about Autumn? Cooler weather, colorful leaves, and a crispness in the air make for a wonderful season. And who can forget Thanksgiving? My taste buds are already salivating!

Well, I suppose that's enough rambling for now. Next time I'll fill you in on dairy cows, saddle repairs and my new nephew in Oregon. Until then, happy trails, and have a blessed day!

The Return (?) of the Saddlemaker

Well, well, well... it's seems like ages since I've "blogged". To be exact it's been 28 months, and a lifetime of events has happened in those two years. I started and "finished" a new job/career, and now I'm back to saddle-making and training horses. Jess is doing great with her job at the Wilson County Appraiser's office. JP is going to be in 1st grade this year, and he excelled in kindergarten (Really, what parent wouldn't say that? In this case it's very true... he already reads at a 3rd grade level!) Zeke has turned into a very independent 4 year old who will sooner than later be bigger than his big brother.

More important than any other event in the past two years (not to diminish any other events, but this truly was the "capstone" event).... Jessica and I had our third beautiful baby boy, Malachi Tiberius Batzer, on March 11th, 2015!!! He is our little bundle of joy (even if he is 16 months old and almost 22 lbs)! Still holding out hope for a little girl... :)

I really need to get back to doing this on a weekly basis. Consider this the first step in a bigger journey. I know this post is short and sweet, but that's all that time allows for at the moment. God bless and happy trails! See ya soon!
