I didn't get to ride this weekend, trying to let my body recover so I'll be good to ride this week. On Saturday I went out and had some 'barn time' and watered the horses for C and D and got caught up on the barn news.
On Sunday I went to the Miramichi (New Brunswick) to visit with my Mom's side of the family. My Grandfather came from a family of 10, and each of his brothers and sisters each had 4-10 kids each. Needless to say family reunions are complicated! It was good to see my grandmother see everyone she remembers and my mom had a great time catching up with her cousins. My Grandmother is loosing some of her memories, mostly her short term memory is slowly getting lost, however she did remember everyone at the lunch. Shes 85, so occasional forgetting that she already asked a question is not the end of the world.
In horsy news, Oscar will go back to being my part time pony at the end of August. I'm looking foreword to riding him again and to see if I can handle his lope better now that I have more saddle time under my belt.
