This morning was not a good start to New Years week. I decided to go horseback riding, something I haven't done in many years, and which Mrs. Chandler warned me was not a good idea, but I refused to let her hold me back. It turned out to be a big mistake! I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster; and before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. I couldn't take the pace and fell off, but caught my foot in the stirrup with the horse dragging me. It wouldn't stop. Thank goodness the manager at Toys-R-Us came out and unplugged the machine. But he had the nerve to take the rest of my change so I wouldn't attempt to ride the Elephant...
LOL!
funny
Lol! Happy new year
I hope you were wearing a helmet.
Gotta admit, you had me.
You are a card sir! Loved it. Happy New Year.
LOL!
LOL. Thanks for the morning chuckle.
Sixty three years ago, at the age of seven, in Farmington NM, I saw a Navajo family put their little kid on a Mars rocket in front of the KILLROY’S store. It started and he squalled and cried, so they took him off.
The rocket was still going so I ran and mounted that thing like a real spaceman and pulled back that handle and took off! Had great fun on their dime!
One of those great memories of childhood before everything went to hell-in-a-handbasket in Arkansas.
***all I can say about my personal experience is that horses eat money and shit debt.***
We have a saying here that the only people who own horses are rich people and fools.
I rent my place to some people for horses and the horses consume money like it was going out of style!
I always wanted a small farm with a valley where I could see horses in the pasture. Now I have it and it does not cost ME a dime.
One word:
Spurs
Oh, that was a great story! Best!
