Sam & George
Remembering his teasing comments earlier about his cooking, Sam just laughs lightly. "Whats wrong George don't like the fried scorpion tails and broiled crawdads?" Seeing his expression just makes her laugh even harder, mischief playing lightly in her eyes.
Continuing to tease him Sam goes to move Damion forward when she realizes that Damion has picked up a small limp to his normally smooth gant. Stopping the stallion and climbing down off his back she quickly starts checking his hoofs.
"Theres something wrong with Damion." Turning her concerned eyes up to George, Sam looks back down at the hoof she is now holding in her hands. Normally she would have no problem figuring out what could be wrong but she hadn't found anything out of sorts and this really worried her.

George & Sam
"Theres something wrong with Damion."
George looked at Sam as she checked Damion’s hoof, when she shook her head as if to say I can’t see anything wrong he dismounted and went over to her. It had to be something wrong with the hoof or shoe because nothing had appeared wrong before they stopped, either shoe had worked loose or a small stone had lodged between the shoe and hoof. Knowing Sam would have noticed a loose shoe because of the failing light George took out a flash light from his saddle bag.
First he checked the leg to make sure he hadn’t pulled anything, Damion didn’t make a sound and he couldn’t feel anything out of place.
“Let’s see if he’s got a small stone lodged between his shoe and hoof, it only needs to be tiny to cause him to limp,” George suggested as he shone the flashlight onto the hoof. They could see something pushed hard into the small gap between the hoof and shoe, taking out his knife he opened the horse pick and handed it to Sam.
“See if you can get it out while I hold his foot and the lamp,” he said to her.

After lunch Kat told Tim about Macy Joe's Barn Dance comming up at the endo of the week, and went upstiairs with Casey to help her pick her out fit for the dance while Josh split the ranch hands into groups, Some riding the pens checking the cattle and horses while others begain making repairs on the bunk house, and Barn.
After helping Casey.. Kat made her way to the kitchen to get some coffie, and talk to Carolyn before headding into her office. Dinner tonight was meatloaf, corn and mashed potatos.. and sounded good.
Looking at the clock in her office it was already 3 in the afternoon.. Kat gave a sigh and setting down at her desk begain pulling out the books and going over them.. from the looks of things.. it was going to be a long night as uhshual..
It was sunset when Kat put the books away, and begain looking at the list she, George, and Sam had made. Carolyn had let her know dinner was ready awhile back, and she had promised to eat later if she lost track of what she was doing now she would have to start over.
clear trail for ridding...... Check
Bank .. Sam, and Josh help cover... between the two plus what little i have. We should enough to make repairs, get stock up on feed, lumber ect..
Riding lession costs?..... Check
Trail ride costs? check internet compair prices......
Discuss selling some of the cattle to meat companys near by.....
O'Connor range check fince again make sure none of the other horses copied Damion and jummped into negbors yard.
Make repairs to tack and saddles weekly....... Started
Repairs to bunk house and Barn.... Started
Kat leaned back in her chair and stretched before she finnished off the what little was left in her cup. Getting up and heading into the kictchen to get some more coffie and keep her promise to Carolyn and eat.
While she waited for the plate she made to heat up in the microwave and poored heself another cup Kat wondered what Josh was doing, and if Same and George would make it in tonight...She also wondered how things had gone between Sam and George considering there seemed to be something begining between them.. Kat turly hoped that they had grown closer to each other rather than appart...
The Beep Beep of the microwave distracted her from her thoughts as she set her cup down and rubbed the back of her neck before pulling out her plate and moving over to the kitchen table to eat insted of going to the dinning room.
Everything was quiet most of the ranch hands and Caroyln having turned in as it was likely to be an early morning, and Kat found herself wishing she had joined the others for dinner, but the books had to be done..
Smiling she begain thinking about her and Josh and what Sam would have to say about that.. 10 to 1 odds Kat almost bet she would say it was about damnd time...

The day had gone rather quickly. After lunch, Kat had told Tim of an upcoming barn dance. He'd not said anything at the the time, but instead scratched his scraggly beard and mumbled something non-commital. Now, after the day had passed him by, and he had more of his art done, he gave the dance more thaught.
"Heh. Barn dance. Me. Like I can dance to save my life! Bigfoot's probably got more rythm than I got! Think I might bow outta that one..."

Casey
Atfer dinner I made my way back to my room and started to go through some of the outfits to see if I had anything to wear if I did go to the dance. At this time I was not sure if I was going to go I mean Sam would have George and Kat would be with Josh So I would be going by myself and at times I feel out of place.
But at the same time I should go and try to have a good time even if I just set and watch everyone dance. Anything is better than being alone all the time. Still going through my clothes I found my black jeans and nice purple dress top and just knew I should wear it.
After I put the outfit aside I made my way down to the kitchen for a cup of coffee before sitting down and reading a book for the night. Stepping into the doorway I see Kat and say hi.

Sam & George
“See if you can get it out while I hold his foot and the lamp,” George's words made since to Sam, Damion hadn't been limping until just a bit ago.
Kneeling further upon the ground Sam looked closer at Damions hoof, trying to see if maybe she could find the small rock hidden from her. Taking care not to startle Damion with her actions and at the same time making sure that the light George was offering stayed where she needed it.
"There I see it George, your right. There is a small rock buried up under his shoe, let me see if I can get it out." Working carefully upon Damion's foot Sam poked, pried, pushed finally pulling a the rock from under Damion's shoe. Holding it out to George proudly, grinning as she pats Damion's rump letting him know that she was done as well.
"Well we are going to be late for dinner I am afraid, but maybe Carolyn won't mind us warming up some for ourselves as long as we clean up after ourselves." Saying this Sam looks at the Ranch house still a bit of distance from them. Thoughts of Kat entering her mind, she would almost bet that Kat would be waiting for them to turn up and even being honest with herself Sam would have liked to have stayed out one more night with George. But they had told everyone three days tops, and since they hadn't contacted anyone and let them know that it would be later they had to be back tonight.

George & Sam
“We’d better walk him around for a bit to make sure he’s OK, It might be an idea for one of us to ride one of the pack horses and trail him so as not to aggravate his foot. We can get the vet and farrier to check him out tomorrow,” George suggested.
George watched as Sam walked Damion, there didn’t appear to be anything wrong with him but George wasn’t willing to take the chance. He might be OK at the moment but riding him could cause more damage were a gentle walk would be alright.
George moved all the stores onto one of the pack horses leaving the other free to carry either Sam or himself.
“You ride Sheba, I’ll ride the pack horse. Trail Damion behind you and I’ll watch him for any problems,” George said once everything was sorted.
“As you said we need to get back, and there’s no sense in spending the night here just a mile away from the Ranch,” he said once they were ready to carry on.

After lunch Josh sends some of the ranch hands to ride the pens to check on the stock and detailed the others to start repairing the barn and the bunkhouse.
While the crews started out Josh mounts his horse and rides around the ranch house making sure everything is in top shape. Knowing that George and Sam would be home soon he makes the rounds making notes of what still needs to be done so he can tell Kat,Sam,and George.
As he is riding Josh wonders,"I wonder what Sam will think of Kat and I hooking up I hope she thinks I'm good enough for her sister."

Kat smiled at Casey when she came into the Kitchen, and layed her fork down on her plate.. Hiya hun care for a cup of coffie? I am not heading to bed any time soon.. i am a little worried about Samantha and George. They should have been back around sunset.
Getting up from the table Kat picked up her palet and fork and carried them to the sink so that she could wash them real fast and set them in the dish drainer to dry so that Carolyn didnt have as much to do in the morning.
Truning back to face Casey she knew that her worrie for Sam and George showed on her face, but she couldnt help it.. Shrugging slightly she tryed to smile and walked back to the table to pick up her cup so she could refill it, and pulled a second one out of the cabinet for Casey. How do you like your coffie hun? Black?... shuger?.. creamer? suger and creamer??

After riding the main property and making a mental note of what needs to still be done Josh returns to the stable and feeds and puts his horse up for the night.
Heading to the ranch house Josh finds Kat and Casey drinking a cup of coffee at the main table. Grabbing a cup of coffee and joining them Josh sees the concerned look on kats face and asks her, "Whats wrong hon Is everything okay?"

Sam & George
"Oh I wouldn't mind spending another night with you alone. But your right of course so lets get this done and head in. I can see the lights still burning bright so Kat is still waiting for us."
Giving George a knowing wink and grin Sam mounts up on George's pretty mare. Turning to look at Damion and George watching to make sure that the Stallion was following without to much problem. Worry creasing her forehead, she didn't want the damage to be lasting. That was the one thing she knew about Ranches, if the animal wasn't good for anything it was put down.
"I hope he is alright I just don't think I would have the heart to lose him." Saying this Sam turns to look at the looming lights in the distance wishing for once that they were already home.

George & Sam
George smiled as Sam said she wouldn't mind spending another night out with him, but they both knew they needed to get back before Kat started worrying. They were late already and with Damion on a lead rein they weren't going to make good time.
As Sam mounted Sheba and took Dasmion on a lead rein George rode one of the pack horses staying back just a little so that he could watch Damion walk, it also gave him another opportunity to watch Sam.
"I hope he is alright I just don't think I would have the heart to lose him." Sam said sounding really worried after they travelled about half the distance to the ranch.
"He appears to be walking on that foot without any problems, but we can have Meg have a look if she's still up when we get back. Otherwise he'll be OK until morning, there doesn't appear to be much wrong with him," George told her. He knew she was upset but the truth of the matter was that Damion really was walking fine.
"I hope there's some hot coffee brewing," George said when they finally arrived in the ranch yard.
