I know it's been forever....

But I just had to share....

Back in the Saddle Again

Went riding yesterday at Strawtown Koteewi Prairie Park with a friend.  It has been over ten years since I have ridden and I was so out of shape and practice but my friend was very patient and helped me out so much.  It gave me the "I want a horse" fever.  But you know who (husband) said NO!.  Oh well, maybe someday!

My poor baby.....

Winston had an accident last Thursday, May 16, 2013.  He was either already laying under the truck or ran under the truck as Troy was backing up.  He had a concussion (so we had to watch him carefully for 24 hours), a really bad scrape on his nose, a minor scrape on his forehead and a small piece of his ear was split.  He is a very lucky dog.  And his daddy is lucky that he was barely moving.  We think that his lead got caught and he could not get out from under quick enough.  But he has not learned his lesson as he was back under the truck yesterday.  We sure have learned ours, though.

We will have to take pictures from this side for awhile.  The vet said his hair on his nose will probably not grow back as the scrape was pretty deep.  But we love him and are so grateful that he is alive.  Thank you Jesus!

April 25th

I can't believe it has been seven years since you went home to be with Jesus!  Sometimes it seems like yesterday (when I really need to talk to you and hear your voice in response) - other times it seems like forever (as I watch your beloved children grow into adults and all those special occassions that I know you are watching but wish you were here in person to share).  But one thing is for sure - we all miss you terribly, Sis.  And I will NEVER, EVER forget that smile that you always had, even at the end - that let me know that you saw how wonderful Heaven is and that you were fine.  And that we were all going to be fine. 

Love you and miss you Lori

Another Race for the Cure

It was a pretty day - but cold.  Got together with a 1,000 of my sisters in pink.  29 years of survival and my 11th race.

Thirty year group - only about 6 of us.  So good to meet up with these ladies every year.

  That's me - second from the left - 4 layers of clothing, hood up, and still cold!

All that pink is so pretty and so moving!

For Boston and the US!

These two soldiers are getting ready to deploy.

God Bless them!

And about 20,000 runners and walkers!

Thought for Tuesday
