the keeslers skip to main skip to sidebar the keeslers monday september 22 2008 the month of september well the month of september came in with a blaze of glory on the 5th matt was coming to pick me up at the train station and then we were heading to fargo for the horse races as per its usual the train was a couple hours late i was supposed to get into rugby nd at 7 07 am but instead i got in at 9 30 am at 7 30 matt calls me wakes me up out of a dead sleep and says honey the camry s on fire all i could do was laugh now mind you the camry was the only mode of transportation we have in north dakota because my car is in minnesota alas the camry did have well over 300 000 miles and was definitely beyond her mechanical capabilities so he called the fire department got the fire put out and called the sheriff and had him come and pick him up and take him back to bottineau where he borrowed a truck so we were able to gas guzzle our way to fargo once in fargo things started looking up my parents met us in fargo we got there friday night and they came up on saturday our horses raced their hearts out and even won us some money they won us enough money to purchase a new beater of a car so that my darling matthew has transportation and has a way to come and get me from the train station d my dad bless his heart put some colors on and helped warm the horses up dad had only been on a jogger one time but he looked like a pro this is a picture of matt and my dad in their colors in order to be out on the track you have to be in colors which consists of at least having white bottoms stephen was along as well and was a big help here he is with another set of matt s colors although it wasn t long before they were off and he was back in his shorts and t shirt here is a picture of dad going out on the track for the first time to warm up one of the horses each horse has to be warmed up about 3 races before the race they are in we not only had our 2 horses but we had 10 horses of the man whose farm we keep our horses at and he is too old 86 to be exact to be of much assistance once we are at the track so having my dad there was a lifesaver here is a picture of dad on a race bike or sulky not quite as comfy as the jogger that he is on in the previous picture here is a picture of tempstar our gelding coming in 2nd place here is tempstar coming in 2nd place a second time he was our money maker for the weekend in this picture our mare never last is horse number 5 she at one point was ahead of our gelding but alas she couldn t hold out she did come ahead of horse 1 at the end to come in 5th and get us a little check we had some friends come and join in the festivities this is a picture of our good family friend audrey burkhart she weathered it out both saturday and sunday my friend sonia and her family came up from south dakota and sat through the rain like troopers on sunday overall we had a great time the horses did well which was a bonus but my husband is living his dream we made it back to westhope safe and sound and purchased a new vehicle just in time for me to get back on the train on wednesday posted by the keeslers at 4 09 pm 0 comments friday august 29 2008 a whole lot of changes wow it has been a very long time since i have updated my blog but guess what we are still alive here although a lot has changed since the last time i wrote the fish have died all 3 of them we have bought another horse his name is tempstar and alas we do still have brandi but she has moved to mn and is staying at my parents house i jen am working at a hospital in golden valley mn and i commute back and forth on amtrak taking the train was a fun thing back in january and february but now that we are almost into september it s not so much fun anymore we are working on moving to hopefully mn but with matt s line of employment securing new employment takes almost an eternity therefore matt still remains in westhope nd and i am commuting back and forth i have a pretty slick schedule i work 6 on 6 off 3 on and then 6 off everytime i am off i get to be home for 5 days not ideal but for working 500 miles away we consider ourselves pretty lucky we are still into harness racing more so then we have in the past we have raced the horses about 5 times up in canada and we will be racing them in fargo again the 5th 6th and 7th of september fargo is one of our favorite weekends because we get to enjoy it with family this is one of our major purchases for the year this is our new race sulky it even says keesler on the shaft this is what the driver sits in to race the horse as you can see you have to sit pretty close to the back of the horse i have yet to get enough courage up to sit in one other than when matt is holding up the shafts for me it is a little too close to the back end of the horse d this is a picture of tempstar our gelding he is quite the race horse and has actually won us some money this year although we do this for pure enjoyment when they win some money it helps to let us know that we are starting learn the ropes of harness racing so it does pay off this is never last our moody mare we truly believe that she is ready to move on to the next phase in her life which is to be a mommy she gets so moody on race days that she has actually pinned me up against the wall of the stall try having a 1000 pound monster pushing up against you and the harder you push the harder she pushes trust me i am no match for her she won well i guess that just about sums up the new goings on in our lives at the present matt has quite a few applications in we are hoping that he will be able to secure new employment by the end of the year thanks for stopping by and i will try to be better about updating d posted by the keeslers at 12 31 pm 1 comments wednesday december 12 2007 the headless soloist okay so this is what happens when my darling matt is given a brand new camara and is told to take pictures of my choir concert well as i have mentioned before i sing in the bottineaus women s choir and we had our annual christmas concert it was a beautiful concert i wish i had a cd of it because if i should say so myself we did awesome i had a few tasks throughout the concert we sang a version of the first noel to the accompaniment of pachelbel s canon which had two piano parts two weeks before the concert the 2nd pianist backed out so i jumped in at the last minute and agreed to play during the intermission there were 5 of us who sang solos i sang a song called still a bach christmas which was absolutely beautiful if i should say so myself and left hardly a dry eye in the audience then during the second half i had a small solo part in the christmas song according to matt i was the star of the show i had tons of fun and am very sad to see the season come to an end but alas i will still have the opportunity to sing with my darling matthew in the anoka ward the sunday before christmas posted by the keeslers at 4 22 pm 1 comments tuesday october 9 2007 farewell to xenos xenos the racehorse is now xenos the amish buggyhorse we sold him to the amish in wi because he just didn t wanna be a racer he s a good boy and will be treated like royalty by the amish people chances are he ll stay in wi but might find his way to oh or pa his stablemate black pepper went with him many amish horses are ex racers that either didn t make it on the track or like xenos would rather be petted all day norman glinz who bred xenos has offered us a faster horse named tempstar we ll get him after helping norman with the colts that will race this year at the new rollin aces harness park in forest lake mn near the twin cities posted by the keeslers at 9 10 am 0 comments thursday october 4 2007 nieces and nephews are simply the best these 4 little tikes are 4 of the most special people in my life second only to my darling matthew i thoroughly enjoy every minute that i am able to spend with them it is so fun to see how excited they get when they see matt and i i think that i have achieved favorite aunt d but we won t tell julie and tiffany that they might be a little jealous anyways these are some pictures of the kids enjoying there time at the races staying in the hotel and their auntie jen posted by the keeslers at 8 47 pm 1 comments a visit inside the barn when we were in fargo on saturday morning everyone was able to come in to the barn and see all of the horses i think that jackie was a little afraid but we won t tell anyone the kids really seemed to enjoy themselves and it was fun for matt and i to show off a little harness racing is becoming our lives and it was fun to be able to share that with family xenos and neverlast enjoyed all the attention as well posted by the keeslers at 8 41 pm 1 comments tuesday october 2 2007 harness racing 2007 the 14th thru the 16th of september our horses xenos and neverlast raced in fargo north dakota we had a blast my mom jolynn
