Anyway, hope you get out on your horse again soon!Alisonhttp://www.theideaofhome.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839440111268667274.post-60186706752998135082011-06-09T16:47:05.642+10:002011-06-09T16:47:05.642+10:00Your Thurdays nights are my horse riding lessons o...Your Thurdays nights are my horse riding lessons or simply out riding my horse...and it has been far too long between rides for me.<br /><br />When I am on my horse, I am not a wife, or a nurse, or a friend, or a daughter or a sister.

Everyone else has first dibs on us and our time, surely a couple of hours spent with self will not be missed by the ones we love and who love us.Daffodilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02526079629022641191noreply@blogger.com
