My Version of Retail Therapy

Saddle Seat Wednesday, Sorta I tried to take a dressage lesson. Does that count? The call went out several times. Who wants a lesson this month? It began to sound as if they would not have enough people. Given the lack of work Rodney and I have suffered this summer [Lately], a lesson would beContinue reading “My Version of Retail Therapy”

Milton & Me, Redux

We are quietly examining the schedule for suitable places for Milton to start showing with a cart. Yes, yes, many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip. It’s all tentative and progress-dependent.

Equally clearly, I must have gotten the idea, at least in part, fromContinue reading “State of the Blog: Belated Acknowledgement”

Eclipse Party

Despite my brave words about being in the moment [Eclipse Safety], I gave in to the temptation to pick up a camera during totality. But then, ‘How do I turn this into a blog post?’ is hardly an unusual thought for me. ~~~ Thematically appropriate food & drink, plus champagne. I don’t drink much theseContinue reading “Eclipse Party”
