Wine & Ride

Today was an absolutely wonderful day to kickstart the holidays with a Ladies "Wine and Ride" at Hoofhaven Farms. And just exactly what is this do you ask? This was a chance for a group of ladies to get together, ride horses and then unwind by drinking wine and snacking on cheese, crackers, fruit, veggies and of course some brownies! We had riders from beginners, to experienced enjoying the gorgeous 85 + degree weather that got sent our way. There was no particular riding plan, just ride and visit, laugh and tease! We rode on the front of the ranch, then crossed the creek to the backside of the ranch. We rode in two riding rings and up inclines! It was great fun!

The best part is that I invited my childhood friend who I haven't seen in over 6 years and that in itself was like a breath of fresh air. Sugi is one of the most outgoing and life embracing people I know. Even though there may be huge gaps in our visits, once together it's as if it were just yesterday. We caught each other up on our family and children, spouses and jobs. I found the conversation exhilarating and the company exceptional. Thank you Lord for such a glorious day! Ta Ta for now...

Sugi left on Dallas, and me on Bobby. Of course we dressed for the occasion!
