Well, now I need a corn field of my own because corn is sort of pretty! I took this photo at a local farm the other day. My mom, sister, and I got lost in their corn maze. You know, it was my childhood dream to live on a farm, grow food, and have lots …

10 For Texas
Well, I survived 10 For Texas on Saturday! I finished ninth in my age group! I am thrilled, however, I am a little disappointed in myself for not training harder and finishing even better! My time was not too far off from the top three in my age group, surprisingly. After my races last year, …
Happy Halloween!
It is a gloomy, spooky Halloween here in Montgomery, Texas! Being under construction, there are contractors in and out of the farm every day so I go check on things and make sure everything is locked up at night. My dog, Khloe, goes with me and thinks it's the greatest thing ever. I, on the other hand, …

Prayers for Texas
This morning I woke up yet again to the sound of rain and thunder with bright flashes of lightening illuminating my bedroom. I was immediately in a bad mood. Another day of no riding. Another day Chance and I fall behind. So much for the show I was planning to go to this weekend. As …
Winter
Last week I said that winter is coming, and now it is here. I have a nasty cold to prove it! It has been consistently cold for the past couple of weeks, even freezing at night. That is not characteristic of November in Texas, for we normally do not get this weather until January. And …
