Some of my thoughts about things......

On Monday's I go with my companion; Theresa and we go shopping at Walmart. We also go to Long John Silver's and I eat shrimp with Coleslaw, hush puppies and root beer. Do you know what Hush Puppies are? Theresa told me what they were,  I never had them before but I tried them and I really liked them. Here's a picture and recipe for them:

HUSH PUPPY RECIPE

I also work at Fair Hill Farm and help out with the people that come there. I do different jobs all the time, whatever Ben wants me to do. 

This weekend Mom and I are going out for supper at Two Guys Restaurant in Honesdale, I think I might order a salad and chicken fries and spaghetti and meatballs and I might even have a Shirley Temple and dessert too!!

On Sunday we are going to church to receive communion and listen to the choir that sings there.

On Wed and Thurs I go to HRC (Human Resource Center) When I'm there I read, do math skills. I enjoy eating lots of food around 12:30-1:00 At HRC we also go out into the community and at the 7th Day Church, Billy's New Hope, Abraham House, Promise Land State Park and Lacawac Sanctuary

This is Morla from Billy's New Hope Barn.

This year my goals are to do some house cleaning; like moping the floor for my sister, Kelly.

I enjoy reading and working on my math skills.

Michelle, my job coach got me going today :) She always takes a lot of pictures of me when I am bored.

So these are some of my thoughts for today. Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Have a nice day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!!!

Happy New Year everyone! It's 2016 already!!

I decided to write down my goals for this year.

* I would like to continue working at Fair Hill Farm with Ben and Art and riding horses with other people there.

* I would like to continue working at the Wayne County Recycling Center. I want to get better at my job so I don't have to have a job coach with me all the time.

* I want to continue doing Special Olympics, especially bowling, basketball and bocce ball. We went to finals in bocce ball and I would like to do that again.

* I really liked Geocaching with my job coach; Michelle Erbach and I would like to do more of that in 2016.

* I want to go to the movies and have more fun with my friends.

* I want to go dancing.

* I want to go to more summer BBQs and enjoy the music and the good food that is available.

* On Monday's I go with my companion; Theresa to Scranton and go to Burger King for lunch and go shopping. I want to do more of this!


What are some of your goals and TO DOs for 2016?

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

It's the Holiday Season again 2015!!

I love Christmas! It's my favorite time of the year, I even tell people Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in the summer! I love the cold and the snow and I tell Michelle (she's my job coach and she helps me write this blog) all the time!! She doesn't like the cold and she's from Vermont!! I tease her all the time about it.

I've been getting ready for Christmas by helping my Dad decorate the outside of our house with lights and Happy Holidays sign. I went shopping with my companion; Theresa, I bought gifts for Grandma, Mom, Dad, Kelly, Erin and Uncle Gary. I'm not telling you what I got them though because they might read this blog! NO PEEKING UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY!!!

HRC had our Christmas party at Woodloch Pines. It was a lot of fun! I loved the food; especially the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and mudpie! We danced at the party until midnight! Well, not really midnight, but it felt like it! Santa and Mrs Claus came and delivered presents, everyone got one and we had fun opening them. I got a backscratcher and a camo caplight so I can walk my dog Sheeba in the dark if I wanted to. Here's the link to the video of our party. I am the tall guy with the ugly sweater on! LOL!!

HRC Christmas Party

In case my family reads my blog, here is what I would like for Christmas:

• New sweater
• Socks
• A cell phone
• A new watch that tells time correctly
• Can I get a coloring book and a couple of cd's?
• Lots of Christmas novels and some horse magazines
• and I would REALLY like a new car this year!!

That's my list, not too much to ask for, right?!?

I hope you have a Happy New Year!


MERRY CHRISTMAS CHARLIE BROWN!!!

Christmas spectacular at Fair Hill Farm Riding Academy

FAIR HILL FARM RIDING ACADEMY'S CHRISTMAS KICK-OFF SPECTACULAR 

On Saturday December 5, 2015 we had a Christmas Spectacular at Fair Hill Farm. It was part Christmas party, part horse show and part fundraiser for the scholarship for riding at Fair Hill Farm. We practiced a lot to put on the show for our family and friends. All my friends did a outstanding job putting on the show and riding for all the visitors. The farm looked very pretty and all the horses were decorated and looked beautiful!

I got to ride Charlie and did some polo mallet work, I had a lot of fun riding and showing everyone what I can do. I like hearing the people cheer for me and it made me feel really happy. 

OH and SANTA CLAUS WAS THERE!!! He was awesome! 

Art even got a day pass because he has been in the hospital and he was able to come to the party and watch all the riders and the hard work we've done. I love Art and Ben and I am glad that Art is doing better!!

Everyone had a really good time and we raised money for the therapeutic riding program.  

Please watch this BEAUTIFUL, SPECTACULAR video shot by Bridget LaMonica. She did a wonderful job capturing some really special moments!

Working with Philip.....

On Tuesdays I work with a man named Philip, at Fair Hill Farm. I know Philip from HRC (Human Resource Center) so when he started working at Fair Hill I was happy to work with someone that I knew.

My job is to help Philip learn the tasks that need to be done in the barn. I enjoy helping Philip learn these tasks because it helps me to stay on task, it also helps me to feel important because I have been working at Fair Hill longer, I know the job and I am proud that Ben trusts me and believes that I am responsible enough to teach Philip.

I enjoy working with Philip, we get along great and have fun but we also work well together as a team to get the tasks done.

Here is an example of what tasks we do together at the farm:

The first thing we do when Philip gets to the barn is to fill up the water buckets that are in each horse's stall. We have to unhook the hose from the wall and make sure the water is on or off and that water goes in the bucket and not on the horses or yourself! (I did that to myself before)

The next task after we finish filling the water buckets is bringing hay in to each horse in their stalls. It's important the flake not be too big or too small and that it goes all the way in to the stall so it doesn't make a mess.

The most fun part of the morning is making the horse's "cereal" it's not really cereal but a combination of different kinds of oats, grains and vitamins. We measure those out into the feed tubs and then add a little bit of water. While we do this the horses are always talking to us and impatient to get their breakfast.

I really like working with Philip, he's a nice person.

SAVANNAH.....

I have a friend named Savannah, I've known her for 2 years. I met Savannah working at HRC and Fair Hill Farm where we both work and have a session with Ben Goldburg on Fridays. Savannah and I have lots of great times together; we laugh a lot and sometimes we go out to dinner together.

This past Friday, Savannah did something she hasn't done before....SHE GOT ON A HORSE!!

She has been trying to get on a horse for a long time and she just hasn't been able to do it. When I saw Savannah get on the horse I felt happy seeing her accomplish something she hasn't done before. I am very proud of her for doing something she was afraid to do.


WAY TO GO SAVANNAH!!!
