I’m fine too, but I had nothing of any real substance to say either.

But I am going to try something on Friday night that I haven’t done in a long time....ride in a Christmas Parade. My riding buddy Kari and her husband and several others have been doing them and have been having a grand ol’ time.

The first one was last Thursday night and I just couldn’t make it in time. The rest were during the day on Saturday and I didn’t want to give up my regular trail riding day. But since this one is on a Friday night I decided to go for it. I’ll probably ride Grace, since she’s very calm and reasonable, plus she’s barefoot, so that’ll be safer on pavement, although Kari has been doing fine with shoes on her champaigne mare.

She said they were a little nervous at first around all the bands and floats and Fire Trucks but seemed to adapt to all the commotion fairly quickly. That always seemed to be the case when I rode Tennessee in parades with Inge_Cav years ago, so I don’t really expect any different from Grace. I’ll have to get my parade outfit all together again and round up my battery powered lights, Santa hats and bows, but it should be fun. I’m taking off a half a day on Friday to make sure I have plenty of time to get everything ready and get up there and not be rushed. I HATE feeling rushed!
