I just spent a wonderful weekend in Ojai at the Thacher School. What a beautiful place. Our room was like a dorm, with two beds in it and two desks. We had a bathroom between the two of us so that was okay. Cheryl (Richard's wife) had put a bag of goodies on our bed along with a horse wash cloth and a towel. Nice touch that she added to the room. We had a main room (which we called the round up room) where we could all hang out and watch video's of what we had done that day. Cheryl had fully sto… Continue

I found this book at the library called "I'm not my breast cancer", very interesting book. It is a book about all these women that have or had breast cancer and how they felt about it.

One day I was sitting on a rock just watching the waves and this seal comes up on the sand maybe 2 feet from me and just la… Continue

What a wonderful weekend AJ & I had. We house-sat for a friend in Malibu. It was so quiet and peaceful. I got to ride her horses everyday. What a wonderful way to spend the weekend. I woke up every morning at 7am and fed the horses. What a treat for me. I also got to muck stalls. Haven't done that in a long time. We enjoyed our time with Kathy and Tedd who came to visit us. Kathy, Tedd & I walked along the beach and I of course collected rocks. Tedd hiked with me on Saturday, well I rode… Continue

This year is truly a year anew When I think about all that God has brought you through Like Starfish, Rocks and Sand God has you in the palm of His hand When you search the beach for treasures Usually under the setting sun I find myself smiling Knowing that through you, God’s work will be done You see He told me you’re in His plan To reach, to teach, to love, to inspire Last year was hell, this year was tough We’ve been tested, refined by His fire But guess what? Like the Starfish, Rocks and… Continue
