My "baby" turns 21 today - all adult "kids". Time sure flies. Hubby and I were reminiscing with Time in a Bottle ringing through our heads. We've had an awesome parenting time together. I just wish we could relive some of it...

Creekland Pony Farm is now down to just 3 residents - 2 broodmares and our stallion. This is the lowest number of equines we've had in 19 years. It seems our nest is becoming more and more empty...

Quitting at school didn't last long. All it took was a friend who teaches 9th grade science getting breast cancer. :( Of course I'll come in for you as needed!

Ok, big step today... just quit my school job (after 16 years). Now I need to see which way the wind blows and where I want to set sail. I've no idea at the moment.

Successfully stayed up to midnight+ last night to score a waterfront campsite at one of our favorite campgrounds this coming Feb! Now... how to stay awake during church on 4 hours of sleep... Hope the sermon is terrific!

I love being in a place that draws folks from all over the world - hearing oodles of languages - sharing the same love of nature - and reaffirming my belief that lone lunatics are just that - "lone." The majority of us humans share the same lives/loves - and get along well together - regardless of our backgrounds.

The saddest day in a pet owners life (sigh). RIP Hunter For 15 years you worked on our farm keeping rodents under control and feet/laps warm as needed. Now it's time. I wish it weren't. Love you kitty. May the Rainbow Bridge be all it's supposed to be.

19 Years ago today we closed on our farm leading to awesome memories running through our minds today.

Note to self: NEVER forget to take Ibuprofen before heading off for school. Or at least find some to take along. GRR!

There's just something about a room overlooking a (nice) beach watching oodles of dolphins swim by. I've no intention of kicking my travel junkie habit. I have every intention of figuring out how to tweak our budget even more...

Advice from our dogs: Bark less, wag more... From our cats: Full dish, comfortable bed, who needs more?

Not all who wander are lost... ;)

Thanks Jane! I'm still learning how this visitor message board works. I didn't realize all these messages were supposed to stay or I'd have never deleted all those below. I sort of figured it was like an Inbox that needed to be cleaned regularly. Guess not.

In any event... today I'm actually at school "working." School is almost over for the year and I'm in a Chemistry 2 class where the teacher had no idea a capable Chem person was coming in (late sick call instead of pre-planned), therefore, it's busy work. I've answered two busywork questions so far (so I feel somewhat useful), but otherwise... it's gonna be a long day! I'm glad I can get the forum to work on my computer!
