For my birthday, my best friends took me on a horseback riding trail!  Had lots of fun pretending to be "Riders of the Riddermark" (I wore my LOTR shirt for the occasion).  Also, I think I galloped for a second.

Giddy-up!

I went to my best friend's mom's funeral today.  She was also my middle school teacher and like a second mom to me.  It had been many years since I had come back to the church where I spent my youth.  I wish it had been under different circumstances, but she will always be in my heart.

A beautiful and wonderful woman. I miss her.
