Hi Sweetie!
Another great night sleep, woke up to my alarm to make sure I didn’t miss a business call at 9:00, though at the last minute she was delayed so it was twenty minutes later when we finally got to talk. No worries, I got my chores done and had my breakfast beforehand anyway. It was a good conversation, looks like I might have another job before the end of the year, which would be great! After I finished and did the dishes, I started to saddle up Flash, and waited to saddle up Apollo until Dan arrived, we had settled on today at 10:00, he was a few minutes late, but as soon as he arrived I started to get Apollo ready. He changed into jeans (he rides his bike in shorts, understandably) and before long we were headed out. I essentially did the same trails I did yesterday in reverse, a little under five miles, I didn’t want him to be suffering, since you know that when someone doesn’t ride for a long time, 60-90 minutes is about all they should try to do. It was just at 90 minutes, so it worked out well. He really enjoyed himself, he hadn’t been on a horse in a long time, and these are pretty nice trails here, just wish they had more of them. He was good company, we chatted amiably throughout the ride and afterward in the screen room. Then we decided to go to lunch, and we drove to the White Lake Inn, a nice little waterfront restaurant where we sat on the deck and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. It was after 3:30 by the time we got back to camp, and headed out shortly after that. He’s working over the weekend (he does part time at Lowes, just because he’s bored just hanging around), but he’ll probably come and ride again next week sometime. He lives in Costa Rica, would you believe! So that was part of our conversation, of course. Anyway, I went back to the French lessons I’ve started to take online, because it feels more productive than just playing games, which I’ve been doing a lot of lately. I’ve been considering doing a riding trip in France, so that kind of got me going, but I figure it’s good exercise for my brain regardless of whether I actually go on that trip. Haven’t done any French since high school, forgot most of it, but it’s been fun to get back into it. Well, time for shower and bed! Looks like it may rain a bit tomorrow, don’t know if I’ll ride or not, we’ll see. Meanwhile, good night, darlin’! Love you!
