Nov Link Luv
| December 4, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
The list for Nov is admittedly short, having been distracted by Early Grey’s new trick (a subject of a future blog post), receptions, tests, deaths and a multitude of other happenings that have me emerging from November a bit battered but whole nevertheless. So what did Mel read this month when not impersonating a rather comatose vegetable […] more
A story with a happy ending
| December 1, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Meet Cowboy. A local family introduced me to dairy cattle when I was in elementary school through the 4-H program and became my second family for many many summers. The Grandpa of the family drove and bred Belgian draft horses and they were kept right by the dairy. I was horse crazy even then, and […] more
Most definitely not horsey

*Warning* no horsey content here! But since (thanks to this blog and endurance) my friends are scattered far and wide and the *only* weekend that it was possible for me to throw a wedding reception was a holiday weekend AND a major endurance ride weekend, I figured sharing some of the adventure yesterday would be […] more

I was so confused by this apparent dichotomy that I actually spent time on the site, trying to figure out what […] more

Once upon a time there was a girl. The girl was the optimistic sort who really believed in certain life hacks that allowed her to accomplish a great many things that were important to her during the day, regardless of other commitments. And she was really successful! Except for one time. You see, this girl […] more
What we obsess about
| November 16, 2014 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
I’m taking Farley on extended ground driving trips (ouch my poor feet). She’s good, I’m good – but I’m letting time be our trainer. It’s only with time that I’ll get tired and lazy and make mistakes. It’s only with time that something random and weird happens. So the current goal is to ground drive […] more
