Sunday with Family

(No Sunday Reflection today)
Today was another good day. My brother-in-law Hack and I went to the Ditch Pony Promenade, an annual, free kids horse show.

It includes kids driving carts.

Kids riding in costumes.

Kids on stick ponies.

And kids competing in all kinds of horsemanship classes, both English and Western.

After lunch we went to another gem and mineral shop...

... so my sister Jane could do some more shopping for rocks and minerals.


Saturday's flower is a Butterfly Bush.


We're leaving early tomorrow (Monday) morning to take Jane and Hack to the Grand Canyon and we'll be home Thursday night.

So this is my last post until probably next Saturday.

Be good and don't give your parents any problems while we're gone.

Mark wants to know what you think...is it better to wear out or rust out or perhaps flame out gloriously like a meteor. (he was inspired to ask this question from viewing your new background)

Hey, I've been to Mama's Minerals years ago when Brooke was in preschool. We had a field trip there. Hope your sis found something fun.

You always know the neat horse activities going on--so in the loop!

I'll pray for your safe and fun trip.

Oooh! I missed the Ditch Pony Promenade as I was showing Baby Doll to a prospective buyer/leasor. It looked like fun. Nice pictures. That's one big draft horse...a percheron?

Sounds like you're really enjoying their visit. I hope your time in the Grand Canyon has been lots of fun, too.

I look forward to seeing and readin all about it when you return.
