Cowboy Chucks Coffee...


Okay...so here is how the coffee tasting went today! Not as planned but hey what is?

When Chuck got home from work last night he asked "was that flavored coffee you gave me this morning?" He also didn't have a smile. I started laughing...

I had made a cup of new coffee for this week, then made him his coffee for Sunday with only giving the coffee pot a rinse. So there was still my coffee in the pot..

The coffee is from my sister in law and is Frangelico and I LOVE IT! I love the smell of it when it is brewing and it is a really nice flavor. Chuck passed on it before he even knew it! Guess he is not a flavor kind of a guy! Well...let's see about next week

Y
Headed out after a day of working on some leather work...I took Wrangler, leading Nix & Gracie but with the blowing snow wished I had goggles!





Gracie cooling down.


I came back from my ride and Taylor was on Studly hanging out.







Nix asked me to get on him for the 1st time tonight. So I did...he did so good, I went for a short ride and trotted home. YEAH! Love the 1st rides when it's smooth...
