You Call This a Vacation?
— Beverly Sills (1929-) American Opera Singer
“It’s a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand. It stops us from taking anything for granted. ” — Madeleine L’Engle, “The Summer of the Great-grandmother” One Friday night, probably eleven years ago,…
On Tuesday, I received in the mail some photos that my ex sent me. They must have gotten mixed with his things when he left me over three years ago. There were photos of the first meeting with my birth sister, my first meeting with my birth brother (also given up for adoption), my birth…
I’ve been on the go a lot lately and have some catching up to do. Wednesday evening I went out to dinner with a friend. It was nice to go out to eat and spend time visiting with her. We were going to hit some balls on the driving range after dinner but the range…
I wanted to tell you about the team of horses I used to drive when I worked at Bunker Hills Stables. After spending 6 to 8 hours leading trail rides all day, the hay rides would begin. There were three teams to pull hay rides, but if I needed to drive one, I always got…
An uneventful Valentine’s Day, which was part of the problem. A tough day not to think about lost love.“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friendI can’t make you stayI can’t spend another ten yearsWishing you would anywayHow the sky turns to fire against a telephone wireAnd even I’m getting tired of useless desires” Java and I went…

Your sister and brother in law are great and I’m sure you enjoyed their help and company. You have a beautiful barn! So nice that they could be there to help you in so many ways.
Thanks for all your sweet comments. When are you coming over for dinner?
Bring Java.
So glad that your sis and b-i-l came to visit. Seems to have helped you enormously.
As for the barn door being left open etc – I’m a bit confused. Who made the mess? The horses? Raccoons? Java?
I take care of my friend’s horses sometimes, and she’s always emphasizing closing doors so the horses don’t get into things – so I’m betting on the horses.
Me too…who made the mess? I didn’t know horses were sneaky mess makers.
What a great sister and brother-in-law…and really cute folks too!
Lori – As soon as I can find a horse sitter, Java and I will be there.
KB and Lynn – The back barn door opens up to the paddock so yes, it was the horses that came in and tore things apart. I couldn’t believe they emptied the trash, which had no food in it, when they had free rein of the hay. So yes, they do things sometimes just because they are curious.
wow you are blessed with such great family… you take ‘er ez
