Just a quick entry tonight - my eyes are quickly closing so I need to head off to bed....
E and I went out to the barn today to do our usual Sunday chores and to introduce all the visiting aunts and uncles to Curly. Before leaving, E decided to take a quick ride sans tack. She's ridden bareback on Curly only one other time that I can think of, and didn't do much more than a walk for most of it. Well today they traveled a bit faster and actually went around at a lope! She was very excited, but admitted that it was kind of scary too.
On the way home we visited an Open House being held at a property I've been drooling over for many months. It's a ranch-style home on 23 acres with quite a bit of river frontage and great water rights. The owners recently dropped the price so it is actually almost attainable. E and I both really liked the house but after walking around the property a bit, I have to admit that 23 acres is really too much for us. But if I can find a similar house with 2.5 to 5 acres, well, we might have to do some fast talking with Hubby M!
