Oh NO ..... Yes You Canvas !

Oh NO! - I know I've been gaining my weight back , but there's nothing like a photo to bring it on home. I went to look at a horse for sale for an on line friend of mine on Friday. Of course when I got on the horse I had a picture taken so I could send it to my friend..... Oh my word....is that really me up there? My jeans look like they are about to burst.

Anyway, after checking out the horse, Mom and I had lunch with Traci and Mike Woodard at a new bar-b-que restaurant in Middleburg then spent the rest of the day shopping and messing around. Traci "hammed" it up in front of the restaurant.


Saturday I got to ride with friends from the Jacksonville Equestrian Center to Pope Duval Park. We rode for about 5 hours including our lunch stop. Poor Cathy got slung off of Busta pretty hard when he spooked and just missed getting totally dumped into a big muddy puddle. As it was, she hit her noggin pretty hard and got mud in her face, nose and mouth. Thank goodness she was wearing a helmet! You can see additional pictures that our friend Mustang took here.Saturday nite was spent with my work friends, Karen , Martha and Maria, a friend of Karen's and my sister Robbin at a really cool place called Yes You Canvas. It's a studio where you go and paint a picture to take home. We took wine and snacks, had a really good time and all came home with a picture to hang on our wall.

Sunday after church I decided to start early with my Lenten commitment for this year. No more PROCRASTINATION and started by doing 30 minutes on the eliptical before I started puttering around for the rest of the afternoon.I'm hoping that by the end of Lent I will have created some good new habits at home and work by not procrastinating. I have always churned out piles of good work when I have a deadline looming but I want to create good work consistently. Wish me luck!

  1. Ooooh! I love your painting! And I did notice that your letters are small, but your wine bottles are big! A gal after my own heart. lol!
    Sounds like a great time.

    But poor Cathy! Bet she's hurting bad now. Did she get back up afterwards?
    I'm glad she wasn't seriously hurt.

    Thanks again for trying out that mare. Wish I could have been there, too. She sure looked long backed, too, don't you think?
    I think you loooked great! Very cute!

  2. Poor Cathy is right. Even when Busta is being pretty level headed, he manages to have a moment. She is certainly an inspiration to me to pick myself back up when my ponies have their moments.

    Thanks again for a terrific ride. It was much so fun to let Linc stretch out for the first time with Maybe and Jenny.
