Picture it!

We have had a 2 week break from riding our ponies because we have very busy with other things, so Tuesday we rode. The ponies were frisky, the girls were complaining... "we're hot, can we go watch TV? We can ride later, blah, blah!" We must ride again, soon. So today we ate scrambled eggs with Velveeta cheese in them, the best, then I head out to catch the beasts. As I tied up Tilly, I saw the girls walking across the back yard... holey-knee jeans tucked in their boots, old t-shirts with the sleeves cut off, and ball caps covering their messy unbrushed hair. I giggle out loud, what a proud moment that was! By the way, we rode to the back pasture to check the blackberries, they need a few more weeks, and the ponies and girls did much better!

Why is it those are the proudest moments? Something about seeing your kids like you or your childhood!!! I am proud of you for checking the blackberries, thanks Brett!
