SEP 15, 24 .. EQUINE PSYHOTHERAPY..

Today our guest contributor is our good friend Kit from South Dakota.

Kit was a guest contributor on December the 16th, 2023, when we published a Post about Kit's work with Equine Psychotherapy. 

Below is a link to Kit's earlier Post.

Monument Health is a firm located in Rapid City, South Dakota. They assist individuals of all ages with disabilities.

From time to time, Monument Health hosts Special Rodeos that are free to attend and are open to people with disabilities. The Rodeo events include activities such as horseback riding, roping, stick horse barrel races, and miniature horse painting. There is also a separate sensory area with calming activities.

Recently Kit participated in one of the Monument Health Special Rodeos and sent us a few photos she took of the event.

Kit said about 50 disabled people attended the Rodeo and enjoyed working with some mini horses, Mable the Barn St. Bernard, and one rabbit. Kit apologized for not having a photo of the rabbit.

Hi Kit!

Let's meet Mabel, the Barn St. Bernard.

Hi Mabel!

Below are several photos of the mini horses.

Kit, we have a favor to ask of you. Because you were not able to photograph "Your rabbit" we thought we'd send two photos of "Our rabbit" who was not able to join you. 

"Our rabbit" greatly assists Patti and me!

He loves his carrots Kit!

Kit, thank you so very, VERY MUCH for sharing this wonderful work you are doing with all of our readers here on our website.

SEP 11, 24 .. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE..

If I myself, the author of these Posts here on blogspot, don't have a clue what the Universe is going to set before me on any given day, then I am pretty sure that, not even The Shadow Knows.

Two of our best, and closest friends in Russian Siberia, shared their recent wonderful news, that they now have a son, with Patti and I literally several hours ago. 

Because of the current state of world affairs, we wanted to assure them some level of anonymity.

The below photo may be the last time that I saw them. I was about to board a train as I had to leave them because my Russia Visa was about to expire in September of 2019.

Well hello Young Man! 

How nice, how very, VERY NICE to meet you!

What an absolute "Little Charmer" he is!

Just like his Mom and his Dad!

Patti and I are so sad, and yes so sorry, that because of world events, we are not able to visit our friends in Russian Siberia.

It is an amazing country with wonderful people.

SEP 5, 24 .. CAP'S EIGHTY EIGHTH (88) BIRTHDAY..

To truly understand this Post, you need some background.

On dotnet, today, we published a Birthday Post.

https://babakaps.net/?p=64311

We pointed out that today, September the 5th, is National Cheese Pizza Day.

In the above dotnet Post, we wrote the below words about our current pizza eating habits:

This being a Program of Honesty, Patti and I DO NOT fall into any of the below categories..

41% of American’s eat pizza every week. 59% of adults prefer pizza as a dinner option. 93% of Americans will eat pizza at least once in the next 30 days. 36% of Americans say pizza is the perfect breakfast.

Well, today, September 5th, in honor of my 88th birthday, Patti and I ate pizza for BREAKFAST! Tonight Patti and I are going to have some left over pizza (from breakfast) for dinner. We definitely ate pizza once in the next 30 days. And Patti and I had pizza for breakfast today.

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -

Patti and I awoke about 11am this morning and Patti said to me: "Let's get a pizza today on National Pizza Day!" 

So we called our local Pizzeria, The Moose's Tooth. We ordered a cheese pizza to take out. We brought it home and enjoyed 5 slices for breakfast. This evening we will eat the remaining 3 slices for dinner.

THE MOOSE'S TOOTH PIZZERIA ANCHORAGE.

Now as we go inside, you will see why we ordered a "Pizza to take out". The Moose's Tooth is always just a bit busy! 

We ordered our pizza and they said it'll be ready in 30 minutes. 

They texted us when it was ready and off we went to pick it up.

We brought it home and enjoyed five slices "for breakfast"!

Below we have our Pizza Dinner.

Warmed in our oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.

There you have Our Birthday 2024 Pizza Story.

SEP 3, 24 .. AUTUMN?

Late this afternoon, Tuesday the 3rd of September, I looked out of our bedroom window and exclaimed to Patti: "Autumn is here!"

That suddenly! Autumn 2024 began to creep into our life. It took our breath away. So I grabbed Patti's smart phone and snapped these photos.

In seconds! Not minutes! Not hours! The sky clouded up and the above photos disappeared.

But it's a long long while, from May to December, and the days grow short, when you reach September!  September Song

A few photos taken driving down to Sturgis. 

Kit? Would that be Devils Tower, Wyoming, off in the distance?

Kit? How does one find a place to park their vehicle?

Let us guess Kit. You don't park your vehicle. You just 'cruise around' snapping photos!

The next three photos below, sure look like you and Tim were 'on foot' walking around!

Oh My! Oh My! 

Night time is coming.

Friends.

Well there you have it! 

Oh Yes! The South Dakota photos were not shot this weekend but they 'fit well' for a Labor Day Weekend fun Post.

Smiling .. Cap and Patti
