Decided that I need more to do now that I'm retired (and my old horse is also retired).....so today we brought this girl home.  She's a Tennessee Walking horse....the only "ride" for old ladies....nice and smooth Laughing.  Greg named her Reba, since my other horse is named Waylon....trying to keep it country....LOL.  I guess this could mean I really am planning a future???  I've been leery about committing to anything big since treatment....so took a pretty big step on this commitment.

    get Lola up there

    Phrannie,

    I would say “a horse is big”, but I also say it is the kind of big we all need after traveling this road (or bus that it was).  I guess you might say you are actively retired.

    Keep having fun,

    Matt

    I love your new family member. Can you sneak her on the plane for your trip down here?

    Luv,

    Little things.

    P51,

    Little things can bring a smile to our face, and your photo this morning did just that, put a smile on my face because you are living life.

    I typed P51 for a reason, as you can see by my name, I think Military allot, and the P51 was a plane used during WWII by our Troops fighting the enemy. Your a Fighter P51.

    My Best to You and Everyone Here

    Big Dog...

    That definitely is a big dog...., ummm horse, LOL...

    Beautiful horse...

    So this means you have to hang around for at least another 25 - 30+ years (or longer)...., can't leave Reba hanging you know.

    Congrats girl, you deserve a little abi-normalness in your life.
