| A good day in the studio. |
I wanted to write
sooner, but instead of sitting in the office at my
computer I’ve been buzzing
around my studio and happily cutting
glass for several exciting commissions. The
projects are in progress,
so there’s not much to show in the way of photos-yet.
I’m looking
forward to sharing pictures with you when the artwork is a bit
further along. In the mean time, I’ll fill you in on
other recent happenings.

We’re still horsing
around.
I’m happy to share an
update on Tardy. His new family
recently sent a note to let us know that he it
right in at their
barn. He’s being well taken care of and winning hearts as
well as blue ribbons in western shows with his new little girl.
On to the next chapter. Meet
Rori the newest member of our
family. He’s a 6 year old, 17.1 hand Oldenburg
Rori is my daughter’s dream horse. He’s big, fancy and has the
gentle, loving temperament
of a black lab. They’ve been
training together for about eight weeks and are
making
significant progress with every ride. We’re looking forward to
showing Rori
in the spring.

My oldest daughter is
making big strides as well. A senior at USF,
she just finished a tough fall semester coming through with flying
colors. Her positive attitude and fun, caring nature make it easy to
forget she is working hard, on a daily basis, to make her
dreams for her future a reality.

Can I tell you? I am truly
proud of my kids.
Knowing they’re on track
makes preparing for the holidays a little
easier. So this week I got serious about getting things done.
Along the way, I learned a few things that you might find helpful.

Need shipping boxes? Cruise
your neighborhood on garbage
day before the trash is collected. I found more
boxes than I
needed on the curb and was happy to recycle them.

Don’t shop for gifts on
the family computer unless you know how to
delete the search history. Those of you destined for the naughty list
anyway might as well have some fun. Look up the really expensive
stuff you have no intention of buying just to throw the
snoopy kids off. Hee-hee-hee.

Enjoy the holiday party.
If you’re on the guest list it’s because the
host thinks you’re fun and interesting. Chances are everyone else
at the party is fun and interesting too. But mingling can be awkward.
Here’s my ice breaker. Join a stray couple, after brief
introductions simply ask, “How do you know the host?”
Ta-da. Instant conversation.

When momma’s happy,
everyone is happy. Go ahead,
be selfish. Take 20 minutes a day to do something for you.
I like to take a brisk walk. The fresh air and wide open
space clears my head and gives me renewed energy to
tackle my increasingly long to-do list.

When you look happy you are happy.
Pass it on.
