For those of you from New England, you know what I'm talking about. For those of you from elsewhere, well, it's been quite a wet summer here in New England. Almost everyday since I've returned from vacation in July it's rained at least part of the day. No kidding, no exaggeration. There was even a tornado recently just a few towns away which killed a woman when her house collapsed. We just don't have tornadoes way up here, until recently. So to say this has been an unusual year for the weather is an understatement.
I guess this is my best excuse for not riding like I should and want to. I'm what you'd call a fair weather rider. No need to get out there in the rain or when it's too slippery. I'm competitive to a point. At the ripe ole age of 43 I tend to not push it too much because if I happen to break something, like any part of my body, the kids just seem to need more attention than ever and of course I'm in no position to keep up. Been there, done that. When I broke my collarbone a few years back I realized how much an injury affects my family. Time to be careful in life, at least until the kids are in college!
For today, however, the sun has been shining all day and I'm on my way home to ride not just one horse but both horses AND the pony! Until tomorrow......hopefully.....

Hey B-I-L
Sorry I had my hands so full at the party. The little ones need mommy's attention which cuts down on my socializing a bit. It was nice to see you and "bic".
Glad you liked the store. We'll turn you into a cowboy yet!
