A couple of friends came over yesterday and brought their horses!
The bay horse in the foreground is a young Rocky Mountain horse and has a lot of different gaits. She is being started under saddle nice and slow. Mona is a 21 year young Appy mare, a real been there done that kind of gal. [...]

Bird is one of my horses, a mare. She is kind of dominant – she runs the herd but in a subtle way. She actually looks kind of sleepy and dopey most of the time! She is also my riding horse. She’s been broke to ride for a few years now, but with all my [...]

I was a horse-crazy kid. I loved horsies. When I was 11 my family moved to some country property in Indiana. My first thoughts: Oh boy, a horse! Well, no horse for me. We had a few cats. Every time we got a dog something happened to it – it got hit by a car, [...]

Well, before we got to Maryland, we had to take the Cape May-Lewes Ferry to Delaware. We wanted to rent a car in Delware for the rest of our trip (how cool, we had gone 5 days with no car, although J did drive us around in NJ). There was a car rental place in [...]

I figured I better start putting landmarks in the titles. This is going on for many more “parts” than I expected!
We stayed with J and Aunt M from Sunday night through Wednesday morning, at the family summer home in Wildwood. It’s nicknamed “The LIttle House” and with good reason! It was built in the 1920’s [...]

Last night we got in around 8:00, our hostess was feeling a little better, but not much. She and her sweetie were watching a movie from Netflix – a John Waters flick! We sat and watched for awhile but it was a little weird, so we all decided it was a good time to crash.

We took the Staten Island Ferry back to Manhattan and explored on foot. We didn’t have any kind of plan or agenda, but we did feel like walking – the humidity was dropping and the heat of the day had passed. We walked up Broadway, saw the big Bull on Wall Street with lots of [...]
