Two Weekend Catch Up

My daughter Jenny just turned 27 and we had a nice family get together for her last weekend. We enjoyed low country boil and cold beer. (of course there was iced tea as well). Jenny and her boyfriend Joel were there of course, along with me, Bobby, my sister Robbin, her husband Tim, their son JT, Mom and my good friend Cathy. She was the chef extraordinaire for our shindig. You can more photos of the day HERE.

Jen and I had a good mother daughter ride the day before and although the day was smokin' hot, we had a good ride and hung out to watch a Mounted Police/Posse challenge.

Jenny captured this touching photo of a police officer and his daughter and below you can see him making his run.



My two new foster cats are doing well, but my favorite little cat that I took in last year has been missing for a whole week. I saw him the day of the party, but he never greeted me Monday morning. I knew he would hide from all the people, but he usually shows right back up. He is my Siamese mix who acts like a dog. He runs and plays with the dogs and follows me back and forth to the horse pen when I feed up. I sure do miss him and hope he shows back up. Hope you are okay, Sammy.

This past Saturday, Cathy and I met our friend Traci and a new group she's riding with for a poker ride at one of our favorite places nearby - Black Creek Ravines. It was a nice day - not too hot - and we got to meet some new friends. There were 3 Freisians in the group....I've never seen 3 Freisians together on a trail ride before. They were lovely and powerful looking. Maybe you can see the pictures that were taken HERE. (these were taken by someone else and are on a Kodak online account)

Sounds like a great time! Happy B-day to your daughter!
The mounted police/posse challenge would have been fun to see!
I really hope your kitty comes home soon!! I lost my precious kitty a month ago. It is so hard.

Wow! Look at that powerful strong neck on that guy! He's a little intimidating.
What a fun ride, though. You do the neatest horse related stuff.

Your daughter is beautiful. It's great that you share a love of horses, too.

Sure hope Sammy is ok and shows up soon.

Happy Birthday to your daughter! What a great mother daughter ride! I sure wish more people, or anyone, in my family rode. I am the only one. I do get my sister to ride with me sometimes......And girl those Freisians were HUGE! The necks on those horses!! Amazing.

And it would have been so fun to have watched the mounted police! And I really home your Sammy comes back. At least you know he is around. He'll come back!!
