The Drive In to Work




Believe it or not I go through four or five towns on the way into work every night and home every morning.  Just starting to realize the flowers are in bloom, people have taken to the Lakes and Summer has come upon us, didn't I have the wood stove on just last week?  My Son and Daughter in Law were home visiting 4 days, very relaxing and very nice to see them.  It is my hope to visit Texas this winter as I dread the Maine Winters, if I was a winter sport enthusiast perhaps Winters here would not bother me and if I could stay awake long enough to curl up with a book in front of the wood-stove it wouldn't bother me....But the cold goes right through me and the wood stove can not be hot enough and sleep is all I want then!   But Alas Summer is here, this is my time to ride and to sight-see, enjoy being outside...

On the Way to the Distance Ride

Trying to figure out who would be the best ride for the Fall ride, Sullie and the girls will not be here until end of July and that will not give me enough time to condition for a 30 mile ride, although they are offering shorter ones that day.  Dancer I believe is in Foal so I am saying she is probably out for training let alone a ride.  I guess being so close to being ready to take off is better than not, so I just might wait until next spring and start training on three of them so I can have an option.  Janet thinks Sullie is going to love riding the distance and seeing the trails, I hope so he is beautiful...15.2 and ready to blast off!  I can't wait to see him and take a stroll down the dirt roads.  I was all ready to stand Sullie Stud here in Maine but after speaking with his owner i am thinking I just might be a little selfish and keep him for my mares, I tend to be a picky person and research research research is my middle name.  Sullie is dominant for the Black Gene we believe so rare and beautiful...
