To plan or not to plan…part 2
| August 31, 2009 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
On Sunday I knew I wanted to go riding. I just didn’t know where. Actually, I didn’t really want to go riding. I really wanted to spend the day on the couch. But I knew I should want to go riding as the days are growing short and my weekends are very full for the […] more

Sometimes not having a plan goes well. Other times, after a fruitless 4 hours of driving I try to convince myself that indeed, driving around in the heat of the day with the horse in the trailer was much better than sitting in my chair knitting socks. Uh huh…. Part 1 – Saturday (the day […] more
