I hope everyone is having a good summer. It has been really hot, but nice.
I regret to say that I sold my two beautiful Morgans but they went to a nice, loving home not too far from me. So that’s the good news. It just got to be too much work for me. I miss them but have to remember that they are with good people and a little boy who loves them.
It was so nice, a week ago, to be invited to join the group of women who go to Pine Lodge to golf every Wednesday night. It is a nice course and we enjoyed nachos afterwards. It is a good way to get out and meet other people and get some exercise. It is so nice sitting out on the patio after and enjoying the beautiful view.

We worked last week cleaning up from the horses and removing the fences etc. Now I have a lot of horse tack for sale, bridles, halters, bellybands, bits, English saddles, saddle pads, nylon harness for driving etc. Come have a look or call.
My daughter Natasha and her family just got back from PEI this past week. While she was there, she met with Cory Sharpe and his girlfriend.
I talked to my sister Ruth and her breathing has gotten bad lately as she has COPD. They took her to another hospital by ambulance because she had chest pains but they said it was her lungs. Even though she quit smoking a few years ago, I guess the damage is done.
My husband and I bought a motorhome so we might go out to see Ruth. She will be moving to another place this month where she will have more resources to look after her.
My niece, Chrissie Parsons just had a baby girl, a little sister for Hanna and Julie.
I’m also selling my little Mahindra tractor. There are only 206 hours on it. I don’t need it now that my horses are gone.
I had a very smart 95-year-old neighbour tell me, “enjoy every day of life and take care of yourself because you never know what can happen.” This is so true.
I also talked to my brother Peter in B.C. He also had a visit from Kim Mako and her husband Murray which he enjoyed.
If anyone has any news call me at 819-647-4700.
