Sorry I haven't been around much...My big news!
« on: May 24, 2011, 07:42:00 PM »
After wanting one for forty years I finally have my own horse.  @O@  @O@  @O@

<img src=http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p162/LeeAnne151/My%20Pets/My%20Horse/Copy2ofP2250289-1.jpg?t=1306291215 width=650>

Her name is Mandy, she is a quarter horse that I have been riding and showing for two years and I just love her.

No time for ponding, gotta go ride MY horse~!

Good news indeed. It is something you longed for for a long time.  Glad it's now a reality.
By the way the nifty grass you sent is self seeding and looks super! o(:-)

Thanks

Thank you.  :D

Glad you like the grass Jerry.

In the last two years I haven't done much ponding at all. Bob put new siding, windows, roof and paint on the house and I managed to get him to reduce the lawn to give me more flowerbeds. I've been planting shrubs, bulbs and perennials.

I've been riding again for four years and made some great new horsey friends, have been spending a lot of time on that and working for one of them selling horse themed gift items on eBay and Amazon.

I've also been planning my 30th high school reunion and have a website for that plus spending a ton of time on Facebook tracking people down.

My ponds have not had much attention and I had no time to do any trades or anything noteworthy to talk about.

Hope everyone has been great and that all ponds are wonderful.

Mandy is a lovely horse and it's wonderful you are enjoying riding again. You are missed here but it's good to hear you are happy! Drop in again when you have time.
