Lessons

Bobby, Bo and I loaded up Dixie, Stylin and Ringer for a trip to the Woodard's place. Ringer took it like a pro - all of our prior preparation paid off. We had fun letting Ringer play with Mike's new colt, Rusty then we all saddled up and rode on their property. Both youngsters did very well with their ponying lessons. Rusty is just a few weeks older than Ringer, but is quite a bit bigger. Traci fed us some bean soup and candy after our ride and sent us home happy !

Happy Birthday Jesus !

What a wonderful Christmas ! We all went to candlelight services last night and then to a Christmas Day service at 10 am this morning. The whole family was here at at our house after church to exchange presents and eat a big traditional dinner. Here are some more pictures.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Graduation Weekend

We had lots of activity this weekend. My neice, Melinda Hill, graduated with honors from Flagler College on Saturday. Mom, Robbin, Tim, Julian, Shelly, Bobby and I were all able to attend the ceremony. Mindy was trying to act all cool and not look at us, but Robbin was able to snap some shots anyway. You can view all of them here................ GRAD PHOTOS

Jenny and Ben traveled to Atlanta for his company Christmas Party. The company put them up in a hotel for 2 nights so it was a good little getaway for them.

Shelly looks fabulous - she's lost over 50 pounds ! Woo-hoo ! She'll go back home to TN tonight and come back with the kids at Christmas .

Good Time

We all had a great time last weekend. Thanksgiving dinner was great, as was the company. Rode Friday at the Ravines and then Saturday at Doe Lake as planned. Very pretty place but we probably won't do a day run again. It's a good 2 hr 45 min drive - so hopefully next time we'll be able to camp. It's set up really well for horse people and the trails are great. We've got our Happy Trails Christmas Party tonight and then tomorrow I've got an all day class for Stephen's Ministry. One more class after that and then I get commissioned !
