faith HOPE and love

HOPE is home! This little horse was abandoned... when the bank went in to foreclose the house, there were 5 starving mini horses in the back yard. I got the call and within a week, Hope was in the back on my Dad's truck and moving in.

I went to Lowe's to buy a shed. They had the perfect little shed on clearance for $439.00 (from $1097.00). I wanted it. They didn't have it. So, the guy called another store who said they had 3. Off we went to the Anaheim store, BUT they discovered they didn't have any either. So, the lady called a million other stores (I'm only exaggerating a little). She found one in Moreno Valley. My Dad and I drove all the way out there and the lady said $822.00. Ummm no? I want it for the other price ~ the one it was ADVERTISED for. She said, no. Manager came out... he said $600.00. Ummm no? I got a little rowdy with him, then he said, $550.00. That's when I went a little ape shit on him and that's when my Dad was pulling on my arm saying, "I'll just build you one. Let's go."

I called corporate. They called back. Apologized up one side and down the other and they are delivering the shed today! Blake from Moreno Valley store got in trouble. Hope has a new home!

And two more horses are on their way... Yahoo!
