What a great if somewhat scary story. I’m so glad he wasn’t hurt worse. He does have a great horse:)..I hope I can do as well as that too even just for 10 more years:)

Back from my ride. We had a nice fairly easy one, but it was sure enjoyable. We had a lesson of standing in the creek, and he is getting a lot better. Maybe being hot helps:)

Bird report....I was out on my patio all morning weeding the garden waiting to see if it was going to rain, and I didn’t notice anything unusual with the birds. Mom and dad would feed them flutter around, same ole, same ole. All three where in the nest when I left. I did put Bink in the bedroom so I could leave the door open. Any way, when I got back there is only one in the nest:(....I’ve looked all around but don’t see the other two. I have seen the mom and dad come and feed the one left. He looks so pitiful by hiimself. I hope the other two come back at least once, so I know they made it.

Well, If you don’t see them again, I’ll assume they made it just fine!

Glad your ride went better. It’s been so long since we’ve been we’re going to have to break momentum and just go one of these days, but between busy things and the wet, it just hasn’t been a good couple weeks.

Well, one thing about my riding with all these old farts, as I so affectionately call them, is that they sure serve as a real inspiration to me. The youngest of them is in his late 60's and the older ones are in their late 70's. And I guess the common denominator among them is that when they retired from work they didn't retire from life. They get out and DO things.

As active as you are and as much as you love getting out and doing things, I think you'll do fine as you age. It's only when you don't use it that you lose it. And your losing all that weight has certainly tipped the scales in your favor too. I'll bet you're better off physically now than you've been in a long time.
