Giddy Up

My good friend Rebecca, whose blog you can check out here asked me what I would like to do this year for my birthday, something that is adventurous. I mentioned horseback riding on the beach. I have lived on the beach now for about 10 years and have always dreamed of horseback riding on the beach but have never looked into it. This week, my dreams came true!


It was a wonderful experience. The 2 1/2 hour ride went through a wooded path right onto the beach. We experienced some rain during our ride, but it seem to make it complete. Once we got onto the beach we were able to run with the horses. My friend Rebecca fell off her horse while it was running, and thankfully was alright. The last part of our ride was amazing. It is an experience I will always remember. Thanks Equine Avdentures!


Update on Earrings and Reese:

Joy will receive the first pair of earrings, and Virginia the second. Thanks for these purchases and helping a little girl going through so much.

Excited to read this news about Cystic Fibrosis in the NY Times: Thankful for friends and family who have contributed to CFF to make this possible! Here in our small town of approximately 6,000 we have raised over $100,000 for CF research. Making drugs like this come a reality.

Love these lunch and sandwich bags: We are all about ladybugs in our home and sheep (Shaun in particular) too. I love these creative, crafty homemade and adorable bags.

Ladybug and I recently discovered this show: during breathing treatment time. We are delayed in finding cute shows since we don't have cable here in Lovebug Land. We enjoy the catchy tunes and science tidbits. It is something our older foster child enjoys watching with her.

Shout Out: Happy birthday to my daddy! He is the most loving, caring, compassionate, giving dad I could have. I love him so much and appreciate all that he has taught me about life. Looking forward to celebrating with my parents tonight! Ok, that link isn't connected to my dad, but he does share the same name with the iconic rock producer.

Lastly, I'll leave you with this cute picture of our fat tabby cat named, Ralphie. For those who may be wondering, the mouse is not real.
