MERRY CHRISTMAS !

New Trick

Ringer's new trick - standing on a tree stump............

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 !

Long Thanksgiving Weekend Coming Up

Well.......... my daughter is in Shreveport, LA with her soon to be in-laws, my sister and her family are headed out to camp for the holidays, so Bobby and I are taking Mom to Newberry with us to have Thanksgiving dinner with his mom & sister. We'll have way too much food for our little party, but it will be fun.

Hope to go riding with some friends on Friday and then we're driving down to Doe Lake on Saturday to spend more good riding time with more friends.

Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving !

Progress

We had a great weekend camping and riding at O'Leno State Park with our friends. It was the first time sleeping in our new trailer and it worked out really well. MUCH better than a tent !!

Then Sunday we really made progress by talking Ringer into loading up ! He'll be on the trails with us soon.

NEW TRAILER !

We finally got a new trailer so we can camp and also take Ringer along. We weren't really looking yet, but a great opportunity came up that was perfect.

Bobby, Charlotte and I took our horses to a charity function on Saturday and gave "pony rides" from 10 till 2. Boy were my dogs tired ! I haven't walked that far in years ! It was a lot of fun, though and for a great cause.
