Morning Drop Off

This morning Maycee and I went to the ranch to bring all of our beloved horsey friends their special Friday carrots and apples.  I love getting up early on these mornings during which I not only prepare Maycee’s school lunch and her breakfast, but I also prepare coffee for myself and cut up a dozen or … Continue reading »

Thank God for Blue Jeans and Bedtime Tea

(Written at 10:45PM, January 17) Tonight, I know, I just know I’m going to dream about horses.  It was “one of those days”.  And, because it was “one of those days” I plan to enjoy the reprieve of a peaceful sleep, and horses of all colors will fill the green hillsides of my slumber.  They’ll … Continue reading »

Run in the wind like ponies!

We stepped outside the front door this morning immediately hugged by the warm air of the Santa Anas.  Today the temps were supposed to reach into the mid-90′s, and I’m expecting  they did based on a couple of trips from my desk to the recycle bin and our Safety Coordinator’s exclamation of,  ”Okay, now it’s … Continue reading »

Heaven Can Wait, San Miguel, is really Heaven On Earth-PLEASE HELP SAVE THE EQUINES!

We didn’t know we were saying them, at least I don’t think we did, but we were. … Continue reading »

Two weeks ago Jack and I were on a much-needed date night, having not spent much more than a few hours together due to work schedules and other commitments.  We decided to visit “our spot” by the ocean…a precarious little hike down to the edge of a cliff (it is a bit scary for me, admittedly, but … Continue reading »

When I Grow Up I Wanna Be Like…

Well, friends, here I am…online again, finally…well, actually, I’ve been online a lot, just not blogging for the past ten days, ha, ha.  Life has been testing me, and I’ve had to deny certain things to get through.  A week ago today, my kitty kat, Moo Moo (14 years old) passed away.  It was a … Continue reading »

I’m going to bed to dream

Finally well from the nasty virus that swooped in to steal my energy for two solid weeks, and coming off of what was a busy past weekend regardless, I have not one but way too many thoughts and ideas swirling around and around my brain.  Yet, I feel compelled to write at least enough that … Continue reading »

Glorious Horse Stink

  This past week weighed in a bit heavy. Last Monday-a babysitting date for Maycee while I worked during the President’s Day holiday went all wrong (and it won’t happen again).  Tuesday, a bit of bad news came that my hours needed to be cut back at work–expected, only I held on in hopeful denial as long … Continue reading »
