We had been talking about my riding my horse Beau home from school for quite some time. Friday was the day! The weather was beautiful. My Loving Spouse was able to bring the horses down to school at noon, which was just when the first graders were out at recess.
Horses near the play ground even in a country town can induce excitement in 6-year-old kiddos. They lined the fence and asked deep meaningful questions, like…
“What are you doing?” to My Loving Spouse and My Girl, who was going to drive the truck home…
When they saw me walk up to the horses, out of my usual spot in the library, where in their minds I ‘belong’ they were nothing short of incredulous…aren’t kids fun?
“Miss Ellen!!! What are you doing?”
We jumped on our mounts and waved goodbye to the kids, who ran alongside the fence and took the trail back home. What fun it was, life is good…
…and we are blessed.
