Yes, that'...Oh, Lisa... you are cracking me up!<br /><br />Yes, that's me. I think I'm invisible because I have not seen a single photo of me on the ride. But, I swear I was there! I hope to see you in Feb. I'm gonna talk Dacodah into loaning me a horse for the ACTHA competition. I'm a member but I don't want to trailer my horse that far...<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.

I found your Centennial Trail Ride post. W...Oh yay! I found your Centennial Trail Ride post. Wasn't it so much fun?<br />I wonder if we met? I met so many people that I can't remember everyone's names! Do you have any photos of you riding during the event?<br />I bet you remember me: The gal wearing the colorful helmet covers riding the little grey mare? I wore a horse print fleece jacket, too. I rode on the lower canyon trail on Saturday.<br /><br />Yes, we're all very proud of our beautiful, and unique New Mexico down here, that's for sure. I'm so glad you were able to come down and ride with us and hope you can do it again. Lots of great rides are coming up this year and in some amazing locations.<br /><br />Oh, and yes winter does survive here in New Mexico. We've had snow on the ground at our house for over 40 days now from two blizzards that dumped over 3 feet of snow on us.<br />Of course, we live up in the Sandia Mountains above 7,300 ft.<br />Which was the reason I decided to come down to ride at San Acacia, to escape our snow, cold and ice. The weather was gorgeous down in the valley! It was just what I needed. <br /><br />And you're right "Because the first few weeks after the holidays are usually such a let down."<br />I call January "Hump Month". Just got to get through it somehow! :)<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-23298347168275477072012-01-14T09:36:03.642-07:002012-01-14T09:36:03.642-07:00So glad you enjoyed your trip here!

I did resolve to go on a diet Jan. 2 and to exercise more...and I've sort of stuck with it so far. But it's a form of being kind to myself, too--I want to have more energy to keep up with the grandkids, and of course, for gardening this spring!<br /><br />A belated Happy New Year to you! By the way, I'd love to have a greenhouse, too, especially the last photo you showed on your last post:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
