Pepper

Pepper is a mare that is fourteen hands high. She let me ride her this weekend-actually she allowed me to climb on and be led around the yard. She is supposed to be "gentle", but if you ask me-"gentle" horses don't up seat numerous riders. I've been trying to upload some pictures but no luck so far.

The Wreck in Retrospect

My youngest had a wreck yesterday. Her very smart boyfriend called to tell me the news and very very quickly assured me that EVERYONE involved was not hurt. They made sure the other people were ok and then called the police (I guess it's a little warped that I'm proud that she knew that had to be done).She hit someone from behind and I think she learned something from this experience-like its a must to have insurance and that accidents happen- that's why insurance companies can charge out the wazoo.I picked up somethings out of her car and was amazed that no one was hurt.The windshield is smashed.The front of the car is heavily damaged. I admit I got a little teary eyed thinking my baby went through this wreck. So I said a quick prayer of thanks to the Man upstairs. When I drove through East End, they were having a funeral. Then I said a much longer prayer.

Prom Shopping

Oh yea, it's that time again. My youngest and most opinionated child has a prom coming up. If I like green, she likes blue. If I like long, she likes short. If I like solids, she likes prints. You get the idea. So we went shopping today and it was not painful at all. She liked the same dress that I did. We liked it for the same reasons-it looks classy and elegant for a young woman. The price was acceptable and it fit perfectly. I'd post a picture but she wants to surprise her young man. And she will-she looks like an angel in the dress. Now if she'll act the part....
