From the mouths of babes...

"So Paige, did you enjoy our visit to the barn today?"

"I did. That was awesome. I had so much fun."



"Me too! And wasn't the donkey adorable?"



"He was soooo cute!!!"

"Are you excited about going to riding camp again this summer?"

"I can't wait!"

"I'm so happy that you love riding."

"I do, I love it."

"You know we both come by our love of horses pretty honestly, eh?"



"What do you mean?"

"We inherited it from Grampa Stevenson."

"That's true."

silence...

"So Tammy, how come you don't ride anymore?"

"Oh, I don't know. After I moved to Halifax I never really made an effort to take lessons."

"How come?"

"Just got busy with other things I guess."

"How long has it been that you took lessons?"

"Far too long."

"Do you miss it?"

"I sure do Paige. I think about it every single day."

"Really?"

"Yup.

"Every day?"

"Yup. Everyday."

silence....

"You know Tammy, maybe it's time to stop thinking about it, and start doing it."

silence...

"You know Paige, you're a wise young lady."

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...

...and a good reason to drink wine! (Or rather, a reason to drink good wine.)




The Sweaty Girls have had lots to celebrate lately and since we're always up for a pot luck, wine and a little hot tubbin', we did just that.

Amy is getting ready to have her first baby so in February, Brenda hosted us for a lovely afternoon to toast Amy and her husband Craig on their April arrival.



What's a shower without shower games?





We also recently paused for a good cause to help support the Dartmouth General at the annual Revolution Fundraiser.





That's our girl Lisa leading the charge!


And then just this past weekend, we gathered at Queen Bee and Dale's beautiful home to celebrate the 50th birthday of Fabulous Wendy. Damn girl, you fine. (Note: there were many other photos of the evening but this is about the only one appropriate for public sharing.) :)
