Wednesday Wanderings

Just a few thoughts before my surgery tomorrow.

Betty will do a post tomorrow afternoon or evening letting everyone know how things went with me and my surgery. I'll pick up on my posts again some time next week when I feel up to it.

We rode Morgunn and Sugar this morning and had a nice ride. It will be about six weeks or so before I'll be able to ride again so we wanted to get one last ride in together. Betty will ride Sugar some in our back lot while I'm recuperating.

This afternoon I spent some time dusting and cleaning the floors so the house would be reasonably clean while I'm laid up.

Finally, it's getting towards Spring here which is nice, but I found this photo for those of you who may still be cold...

All together now... "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh."


Today is March 18 and if today is your Birthday then you share your day with: Madeline Carroll (child actress, "Swing Vote"), Queen Latifah (actress, "Chicago"), Bonnie Blair (Olympic speed skater), Vanessa Williams (actress, former Miss America), Irene Cara (actress, "Fame"), Brad Dourif (actor, "Lord of the Rings"), Wilson Pickett (soul singer), Charlie Pride (country singer), F. W. deKlerk (South African president who helped to end apartheid), John Updike (author), George Plimpton (author, "Paper Lion"), Peter Graves (actor, "Mission Impossible"), and Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th US President).

On this day in 1662 the first buses, eight-seat vehicles known as "carrosses a cinq solz," began running in Paris, France. In 1959 President Eisenhower signed the Hawaii statehood bill. And in 1965 the first spacewalk took place as Soviet cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov left his "Voskhod Two" capsule and remained outside the spacecraft for 20 minutes, secured by a tether.

Ahhhh...I've got the warm fuzzies.

God Bless you Dan. I plan on saying prayers for your quick recovery and healing, my friend.

Get lots of rest and let Betty take good care of you :)

Prayers your way for a successful surgery Dan. I'm glad yall were able to get a ride in. I can't wait to get back on my mare. Which reminds me, I need to call the farrier. They both are barefoot and need shoes before we can ride! Take care of yourself and don't give Betty a hard time. Be a good patient!
