It’s been very hot and humid around here lately. The perfect kind of weather to enjoy an ice cream sundae creation. Luckily, Albertsons and Safeway are having a HUGE Anniversary Sale! You can stock up on a lot of your favorite ice cream treats like Breyers, Ben & Jerry’s, Klondike Bars and more! Of course there are tons of other items to choose from as well. Talk about a sweet sale! My personal favorite ice cream treat to get on these hot summer days is some plain vanilla ice cream so that I can load it up with all of my favorite toppings. 😉

I go to the gym, a lot. Since it’s the summertime and I have more free time, we’re talking like 5-7 days a week. Albertsons is right behind my local gym, so it’s very convenient for me to swing by here to grab a few things I need or stock up for a fun get together with family and friends.

Besides ice cream and other frozen favorites, you can also stock up on some refreshing tea, as well as some spreads and dressings to make your favorite summertime sandwiches. Here’s all of the goodies I stocked up on.

Summertime with the Horses and an American Style Update

Summertime with the Horses and an American Style Update

By Erin

One reason I love the summer so much, is because it means I can spend more time at the barn with the horses. It’s also been awhile since I’ve been able to give an update on all the boys, so I thought I’d take a minute and let you all know how everyone is doing. 🙂

If you remember American Style, from back in February, he had retired from racing with a left hind Condylar fracture, and had surgery performed on January 23rd, 2015. He has recovered nicely and is ready to start-up training to become a riding horse.

Styles 1st ride!

Styles did amazing on his first ride with Sarah! He doesn’t steer very well yet, but that’s to be expected with such a green horse with no training yet. He stood so still while Sarah mounted to get on him, and he looks like he flexes and bends well. It will be exciting to watch him as he starts to learn to jump. He has started to go over ground-poles so far!
