(no subject)
I had thought about what I would write for a long time. It’s not always easy for me to write just anything, I usually have to have a directive, a purpose to write. I think I found one, me. Writing just for me isn’t something I’m used to, and I have to force myself to do it.
Today I went horseback riding with my friend Steve. We went to his parents house and saddled up the horses. The one I was on was a very gentile quarter horse by the name of Rookie. He responded very well to my novice handling, and I had a really good time on our 3 mile ride. Steve said I looked relaxed (I was), and that it seemed I had some natural talent. He was a HUGE horse in comparison to others I’ve ridden. I need to learn more about riding, and caring for horses as I hope to get one in the near future.
I should probably look up horse laws in Oregon. Where you can ride, and whatnot.
Being in the middle of farmland, corn fields to my left, and a grove of cattle to my right, it felt like heaven. Home. I felt at home up on the horse, in that field, the wind blowing, boots on my feet and this majestic creature who allowed me to ride him. It was simply amazing.
I need to get BJ to try this, I think he would understand it more if he tried it. I don’t know, maybe I belong in Nebraska.
Yesterday I went to the Omaha Zoo. It’s been over 10 years since I went to a Zoo, and this one was fantastic. The penguin house was very cool. Those birds may not be able to fly but then sure can swim fast!
So as my latest work trip to the midwest winds to a close, I look forward to getting home and being in the arms of my husband.
Maybe I should get a map and mark out where I’ve been, and where I want to go.
