Syracuse Recap Part I

I love going to the big shows – the good shows that bring all the best talent.  I hate it at the same time.  It absolutely KILLS me to watch the good riders ride.  It sort of gives me a hamster-on-a-wheel feeling, which is something I’ve had for the past five years.  Even though, when [...]

All my bags are packed and I’m ready to go….

I hate packing.  The dogs hate it too.  As soon as they see that suitcase, they go into a dither.  Sassy will go so far as to get inside of my bag in hopes I’ll either take her with me or it will slow me down.  She’s lucky to be alive right now, actually, given [...]

Weekend Wrap-Up

Well, the weekend’s not over yet but I feel like I need to crank a few lines out before the day gets away from me. 
Bob’s brother, Matt was in town this weekend.  Friday, we went out to dinner at Carrabba’s and Saturday, we did our traditional breakfast at Silver Diner.  The first time I ever [...]

Another visit to Lynchburg

Augh!  Thank God my man is back home.  He was in Boston this past weekend for the Head of the Charles, and while I find plenty to keep me busy while he’s gone, I HATE it when he’s gone.  Everything was off-kilter the whole time. 
First, my BlackBerry crapped out.  One of my techs had me [...]

Happy Birthday to Me

The end of summer sort of marks my new year.  By the end of summer, I like to look back and assess any headway I might have made on my riding goals.  In the summer months, I go full tilt in hooking up with friends because the days are longer.  I tend to crank out more [...]

It’s been awhile…

I’ve been busy and just haven’t had the time to sit and fire anything out.  Evenings are either spent making dinner, cleaning it up, tidying the house, grocery shopping, running errands or riding at the barn.  Fridays, I don’t do anything except spend time with Bob if I can help it.   We usually go out.
Riding [...]

My Dad – My Hero

I’ve mentioned once before that my sister appointed herself family historian at some point while the rest of us weren’t looking. She made off with the family photo albums after my mother passed away and possesses just about every single printed memory our once family of four had.
The albums are full of images, both black [...]

I Got Cyber-Published at The Women’s Colony!

First off, a little golf clap for me for figuring out how to put a button in my sidebar for The Women’s Colony.  Unlike ‘everyman sites’ like Facebook and MySpace, BlogSpot and so on, working with WordPress ain’t the easiest.  But then again, I have to always do things the hard way first, don’t I?  [...]

Me? On Mad Men?

No, I actually, I just Mad Men’d myself.  How I love that show.  Bob bought me the whole first season for Christmas and given all of our other TV responsibilities, I’m just now getting to watch it.  And for you not-so-in-the-know horse girls, yes, there are horses on the show!  Don’s wife, Betty rides.  And she’s [...]

Flashback – I’ve come a long way, baby

Well, let’s just say I’ve been on the earth for what seems to me like an eternity, and bumping into this picture the other day sort of made me realize that.
That’s me, far left.  Not sure of my exact age but I’m thinking about between 18 and 20.  This was so long ago, I don’t [...]
