Thank you all for participating in my conversation the other day regarding current events. I enjoy these posts because while it may seem I'm just a tad opinionated (ahem) ...I also appreciate another's perspective and sometimes with that new perspective I see things a little differently. This is what I wish the whole world would do.... Create meaningful dialogue with an open mind. I like to think I'm a tolerant person of the unbiased non-judgemental sort. Sometimes that's not entirely true and I don't mind being called on it, because it's not where I want to be.
About my dollhouse project... well, it's at a standstill. I've gotten the interior work done on the floors and walls, etc... and there are some furnishings complete, but still no living room or bedroom. I'm thinking my Christmas List will contain those very things this year. With all the other bills we have, somehow purchasing this stuff for no-one-will-ever-live-there-ever.... just doesn't feel right. However, I can covet a few things on etsy... see below.
You can see how one could get totally engrossed..
...and possibly broke... :-)
It's been hot, HUMID, and now rainy here at This Old House.
I've been doing some decluttering - always feels good to do so...
and came across this photo of my girl
when she was about 7 years old.
This was her first horse show, her first trail class.
Our horse at that time was a wing-nut , and would not calm down
at the fairgrounds. A good friend and neighbor, also riding in the show,
let us "borrow" her mare, Lucky Maggie.
Maggie was a golden girl, in looks and temperament, as you can see.
As for that show shirt? What was her mama thinking???
Oh.. that would be me.
Have a good day, all -
So glad your back ! Have a great day
ReplyDeleteI love when posts bring about a great conversation and it's refreshing to hear people speak their minds the way you do. Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,

Those little cupcakes are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for speaking your mind on whatever topic you choose -- I'm more thoughtful than vocal on these type of subjects, as you might have noticed. But I do like to hear what others think.
I'm going to email you a link. Be on the lookout for it. Now I've gotta go find it.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with the shirt, and oh how adorable that little 7 y/o. That being the age that Hunt is; K looks tiny!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy hearing your opinion on things, Karen. You seem to give a lot of consideration before you speak (as it were). Sometimes, I find myself not really knowing the whole story before I draw conclusions which is one of my not so good points. And, then of course most times we really don't know the whole story, only what we see or hear on the news.

Cute picture. Glad the browser swap did the trick.
ReplyDeleteI stopped using Internet Explorer several years ago, switching to Firefox, then to Chrome which I used exclusively now. Haven't had an issue since I left IE. It always acted weird while viewing blogs.
ReplyDeleteI use Chrome exclusively as well...I think IE is on its way out :P
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie...she looks so small on that horse though!!
Glad you're up and working again!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been about 2 yrs now for Chrome, was having a bunch of problems with explorer. Love the header, great photo of you and your buddy.
ReplyDeleteHello sweet friend!!! I am still alive! I loved reading all your comments on your current events post. I had to much to say to write it all down!! I am finally home from traipsing all over Tennessee and glad to get back to a (sort of) routine! Your picture of your girl made me smile. My Jemma is going to Horse Camp next week. One lesson with her Nonna in Tennessee and she is hooked! I can't wait to see what she thinks about camp!
