ten lessons down....horsemanship school

poots has completed her first ten lessons at horsemanship school!
they were mostly private lessons but a few classes were in there too.
The next eight weeks will be in a class situation - with two others a new teacher and a full hour - half of which is learning to take care of the horse.
the teachers are great as is Dawn who runs the place!
Talula rides Chunky monkey who is a cheeky chunky, mostly.
it has been a great experience- making me pine for further away spaces- maybe where we could have a horse and a farm....maybe.

obama addresses both houses and i try not to look at john BONER's head

 john boehner is a boner and i cant stand looking at his smug do nothing face-
i have alot of words to say about him as a political leadr but i wont.
just be said john boehner is a boner.

great quote.... it confuses me as well

another life hero bites the dust....

ahh. stop it. seriously - i cant handle my life's heros all being dead.
and now another one. steve jobs. if there is one thing i learned in school that was to use an apple-
from 1st grade playing the Oregon trail on green screen.
i have always used apple ever since- i went to camp for computers in elementary school , held at the buffalo zoo. all the computers i ever owned were apple oh aside from dad's DOS based machine that predated any apple in the house....
i've lost hunter thompson, kurt vonnegut, dorothy richards... and now steve jobs...
please stop it heros you cant all be dead.
bless you steve i know you in fact made my life a little fuller and richer right from the very beginning.

"follow your heart even when it may lead you off the well worn path..."

i will steve, i will.
