Subject: Helloooo,and apologies..

Still here, and still thinking of you all-- just haven't caught up lately. Just got back after a weekend away at a place called MillValley Ranch.. went with long time friends and their extended family, kids, grandkids, other rellies.. 20 of us altogether, 10 adults, 10 children between 20 months and 15 years.Whew!
I rode( horses) both Sat and Sunday.. used to ride a lot in my teens, but in later years, not much chance living in suburbia. so till this weekend hadn't been on a horse for 10 years,It was Great! I had the same horse both days, a brown gelding named Amigo. We went trail riding.They've had rain there and everything was beautiful and green.
I will tell you tho. that I'm a teensy tender and sore in ah... private parts.. after not riding for so long!
Thanks for asking after me,Susan.. Tina, that is a great photo of you.. I hope things are going as well as possible.
Dudo.. I think there comes a time in everyone's life when they feel minimalistic.. and want to pare down their lives, and it looks as tho your Dad has got to this stage, which is your gain.
Will try not to be so long in writing again.
Ellie.

Ellie, I remember that feeling you get after not riding for a long time. The last time I did that (7 years ago - a three hour trail ride) after 7 years of not riding, I ended up with bruising from my knees to my privates. OUCH!!! But it was such a lot of fun!

Hi Ellie, is seems as though you had a great time on the weekend. I've only ever once been horseriding (well sitting actually (lol). I think would be on my list of regrets that I didn't learn to ride properly. Lovely animals. Is Mill Valley Ranch, the one down near Phillip Island? I've heard my sister talk about it.

Hope the soreness is all better - ouch.

Glad to have you back (lol).

It all sounds like such great fun..perhaps not the sore butt but it was fun getting it sore-lol
We had our first snow flurries today..didn't add up to anything once it hit the ground though.
Last year this time we didn't see ground from October to Spring..what a difference this year-yeah! I know we will get lots..one thing I am looking forward to is horse drawn steigh rides..have to pay for them but it is so much fun..hot chocolate is always served after the rides.
