week end update
Race yesterday morning….I did finish line, A. ran–got 2nd in her age group. Nice picnic after and we walked down to the bay, water too cold to go in even wading. Last yr. at this race A. was speaking with a nice 60ish woman, subj. horses of course. I had the feeling I knew her from somewhere (t.v., movies, book cover, newspaper??????) and it took me ages to figure out where, but I finally did and yes, she’s famous. Well, anyway, we ran into her last week at the race and A. got caught up with her and let her know she has her own leased horse now. The woman was very enthusiastic and excited for her and told me she would be at this weeks’ race and would bring A. something to celebrate her 1st horse. Well, I thought maybe a little charm or something like that. NO…..she gave her a matching monogramed halter and saddle pad, a set of horsey beauty products, and a horse decor thermometer for the wall in her room. I am totally amazed; how nice of her!!! WOW!! Made sure I got her address for a major thank- you note. What a nice person she is.
Food has been pretty good. Did get weighed today, up 1 lb.
gotta run chickadees.

Isn’t it nice that even some celebrities find the time to be nice? I’m so glad that A has had that pleasant experience. You, too. Kind of restores your faith in humanity, doesn’t it?
I’m sure that pound will be down again in no time. Your life is just too active for you to accumulate too much extra weight.
Have a great week!
Hugs,

Sounds like a very exciting day for you and A. Sorry you are up a pound. Probably some hormonal thing out to remind us we are never really in control!
Cheers!

Wow, that is nice. More than nice. But A. sounds like she is a charming, disarming young lady. If you’re up a pound, it just has to be water. Like ella said, you’re so busy and active, it can’t be for lack of moving!
Glad you had that nice experience, and….isn’t it great that spring is sprunging?

Wow, that is an awesome and thoughtful gift! I’m sure that pound will drop off in no time.
I keep meaning to learn horseback riding but have no one to do it with and all the lessons seem to be geared towards kids.

Random acts of kindness go a long way!
Thanks for the David Wright tip. I tivo-ed it, and needless to say, it was a great before bed snack of eye candy!!

Yes….. that is so cool and nice….. Though I agree with Ruby, A. seems to be so thoroughly charming… I am also big fan random acts of kindness and the kindness of strangers…
love,
