Summer Has Arrived!!

I hope everyone had a really good Memorial Day Weekend. Judging from gas prices around the country, I have a feeling that the "big weekend" trips are going to start slowing down a bit. It's hard to believe that we get excited when we find $3.79 gas.

Believe it or not, we actually went on a little trip. Friday night I had to go to Mt. Ida, AR to play with our Bluegrass group, Sunday afternoon Bill and I went to Walmart (that's actually a mini-trip from here - 4 gal. of gas worth), and then Monday we loaded up our two horses and headed south ---- about 17 miles to be exact. Unloaded and enjoyed about an hour and a half ride. Actually, it was almost a 14 minute ride - just long enough to go down the trail a ways, then turn around and go back to the trailer. They were both acting like unruly brats and looked like runaways in the making.

Funniest thing though. The minute we turned around to head to the trailer, they calmed down, walked really nice all the way. So, instead of stopping at the trailer, we just kept going down a new trail, and made a big circle ride. It was REALLY nice. Didn't see anything scary except a deer, and that at a distance. We finally circled around and got back to the main road, so loaded up and came back to the house.

Such was our big Memorial Day Weekend. Hope yours was equally as special.
