Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Edgeworth is coming up! Oct 12 through 14 in Gordonsville, VA. I was going through some old pictures and saw I had some from last year's trial! I'm hoping to day trip up, possibly - it's well worth it for sure! The farm is breathtakingly beautiful: and of course there's the field: (I was a little self-centered on who I chose to take pictures of - Mark B and Peg, Ted's mama!) Wide view of the field - sorry about the lines - this was for a non-BC board to explain the trial course! I'm pretty sure this is Tom Forrester. Polly Matzinger getting her shed with, I think, James the Beardie mix? Julie Poudrier and Kat (Kat's out there, honest!): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ohmigod, is that Laura out there?! Girl, you look like a different person now! If anyone is attending and wants a little extra learning experience, look me up - i'm setting up clerks/scribes for the judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliepoudrier Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I know I'm a bit appalled about how fat I look at the post! Thanks goodness for Weight Watchers. But look how cute and little Pip, Phoebe, and Nick were! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipedream Farm Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Becca, It was very generous of you to draw what Peg's outrun should have looked like and not what she did that day. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson Crazies Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ohmigod, is that Laura out there?! Girl, you look like a different person now! 'Fraid so! I believe I'm going to use that as a "before" shot. ETA - I hate I'll be missing watching Edgeworth this year. Next year, though, I hope will be a different story!

Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I was actually going to say Julie looks pretty good, too! I wish I could do WW - no money, and I stink at exactly the sort of thing Laura's good at. Oh, well, I'm losing weight very slowly the old fashioned way. Mark, LOL. That's how *I* remember it and I'm sticking to my story! Anyway, she did pretty good the day before . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becca, Maybe a little birdie can give you some WW materials for free In exchange for something very valuable that is......... hehe And the online message boards for WW are free and a great resource. Just don't tell them you're asking questions because you don't to go meetings, they get snippy over there. Imagine that! People on a message board getting snippy!

Sue R Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I hate I'll be missing watching Edgeworth this year. Next year, though, I hope will be a different story! Let's get it on the calendar and make it a date! Well, that is if it doesn't conflict with shipping calves. Our fall revolves around shipping calves, and we never have the exact date until the teleauction. Too bad Ed has to be gone all of next week, or I'd try to go this year, at least for a couple of days. Life is what happens when you had other plans (John Lennon).

Eileen Stein Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Between the finals and moving I missed the entry deadline, so I won't be running this year. Good luck to those who did get their entries in, and have fun all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eileen Stein Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Well, I'm doing fine food, clothing (my needs are few) and shelter-wise. Now if only I could find anything. :-( Gotta start going through boxes, I guess . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hey Eileen - Wish you were coming to Edgeworth! Will you be hitting any of the others this fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Probably not. Actually Edgeworth was the only trial I planned to enter this fall, so now that I've blown it I'll have to decide whether to substitute another one or not. I'm sorry to miss it too. It is unique among east coast US trials. Maybe I'll go down to watch one day . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Why don't you call Flo and see if she'll let you in late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Um, I don't think that's real likely. Remember the year a couple of people weren't there when their names were called, so they couldn't run, so more people who were relying on the running order to judge what time to be there were late, so THEY weren't allowed to run, and it cascaded into a death spiral where half the people were late and weren't allowed to run (including Alasdair, Stu Ligon, me, and more others than I can remember) and the trial was over about noon? The conclusion I drew from that is that Florence does not cut slack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Aw, it's probably worth a phone call. They limited it to 2 dogs per handler, so entries might be down, especially on the tail of the Finals. All she can say is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackacre Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 No, Florence will not cut you any slack. She and I share a door mat. It says "Leave". Isn't that hilarious? I got one for myself when I was down in Virginia last year. I think Sam has one too. Where did you move Eileen? Do you have sheep on site now? Do tell all.

Eileen Stein Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 It's not that far from our once and future house, and it's not a permanent move. We're here while our "real" house (which was hot in summer, bitterly cold--and actually windy inside--in winter, and pretty ramshackle) is being torn down and rebuilt. But it will be the best part of a year before we can move back in, apparently. From a daily life point of view, the move is actually worse than a permanent move, because you have to decide not just what to keep and what to throw away, but what keepers you can live without for a year and what you can't, and what to do with each in the meantime, and I'm already learning that I didn't always decide right. Demolition goes fast, and I find myself hyperventilating everytime I look at the stubs of what was recently our home, but in the end I'm sure it will all be worth it. I'm still about ten minutes from the farm in our temporary rental, which is fine. We could never have stayed at the farm -- the "dwelling" there is really a barn, and is only considered a dwelling by the county/state so that they can tax us more. It's fine for me to sleep in when I need to during lambing, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipedream Farm Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Entries are not down at Edgeworth; I believe Tommy and Flo said there were 90 dogs (no double lift). HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT BE AS HOT AS MONTPELIER! Eileen I feel for you. While Renee and I were building our house (about 1 year) and living with Mary (our 1st home sold in 2 days) whenever we drove by the storage lot we would wave at all our stuff. Hang in there, it is worth it. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
