ED4AY: Falling off a horse and other adventures

Day 39 - Sept 24
Got the baby girl up early and we went to Papa Ron's. We met up there with Kel and April, later Tara and her new roomate Julie came out. We went to see Kel's grandma and grandpa Solomon and played Rummikube with them while Carly played on the floor and subsequently had a blow out.....I thought maybe someone had farted until I realized Carly didn't want to sit. YIKES!

We also rode horses and yes I fell off. Jack tried to brush April and I off with a branch and we both leaned the same direction. I was behind so I tried to jump off but my food got caught in the cinch and down I went. Just glad he stepped to the side and not on me.

Day 40 - Sept 25
Seems like there have been a lot of people passing away lately.
While I understand that death is a part of life I don't always understand why it has to be cruel.

A good friend Chuck passed away after his long and enduring battle with cancer. He was only 45. He had a wife that loved and laughed with everyone. Three children that each have their own endearing qualities that make people draw to them.

His son Ethan and The Hubs were very good friends in high school and just after. Ethan is building the new family home (a story for another day) and The Hubs - being the supa awesome mad skilled electrician and HVAC technician that he is has been helping Ethan with the electrical and furnace/air conditioning set up.

Welcome to my world. Nothing too exciting going on here....I am a teacher and enjoy telling my friends about the interesting things that happen in my daily life. I find the most pleasure in the simple things that occur daily. Like the brilliant sunsets as I drive home from work or the way Maggie whimpers and paws when she dreams in the kitchen or the way Cody starts my car when he leaves for work just because he knows I don't like to be cold.
