Amazing vacation: Rested and ready to go!

WOW! We had an amazing time in the Wilderness! That's my dear husband, Calvin, on his 4 yr old gelding, Scout. This was Scouts first rugged trail ride and he did fabulous.

That's me on my 25 yr old gelding, Toby. Toby has pretty much "been there, done that" on just about all things. But these two pictures are taken at 7800 feet in elevation. Five miles before this picture, we were at 5800 feet at the lodge. That was quite a climb!

Of course as a doll lover, collector and artist, I almost always take a doll with me where ever I go. Since this was a horse outing, Matthew, the Little Cowboy got to come along. This is the same 'weawl Towboy" as in the horse riding story. I have just reborn him since that story was wrote. He has hair now! He brought along all his favorite toys to play with while we rode the trails.

But he longed to go and see the horses.

So, we took him to see them! He was thrilled!

I am very refreshed after a fabulous weekend and am ready to head to the nursery. I may switch gears and begin painting another doll kit and set the Latino Arianna aside for a bit. The Portland doll show is coming right up and I would like to get another small baby done for that show.

Happy Monday!
