2. I am selling my jewelry at Art-A-Whirl this weekend in northeast Minneapolis. Art-A-Whirl is the largest open studio and gallery tour in the US, so my handiwork will get a lot more exposure than Etsy and the craft shows I do in my hometown. I'm hoping for a lot of sales this weekend, especially because my jewelry is so reasonably priced.
3. A local elite runner linked the Brooks Beasts site (click HERE) on her Facebook wall. Check out these videos of up-and-coming athletes: their workouts, pre-race rituals, and the joy they get from running.
Have you ever gone horseback riding before? Ever get thrown from a horse?
I've only gone once. That was enough for me. Never been thrown and don't plan to because I'm not going horseback riding again.
First, my prayers are definitely with your brother - i can't imagine!!! Second - 2 funny horseback riding stories. The first is when I was a kid and my mom and I were riding the same horse at the same time named Sparky - a guy told mom to kick the horse because he was moving too slowly. Mom kicked him and he threw both of us an then stomped on us. I don't really remember that part, but I do remember going back to the campsite and my mom having frozen 2 liters all over her body. Having this been my only experience with a horse, I was frightened as a young adult. One year in college I was a camp counselor for Deaf camp and I had to take the deaf kids horeseback riding - I screamed bloody murder the entire time . . . no one heard a dang thing cuz they were all deaf - nice, huh!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the sale - sounds awesome!
Hope the jewelry sells well this weekend - sounds fun! I'm with you, one time on a horse was enough for me.
ReplyDeleteWishing your brother a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI grew up with horses and have done a lot of riding, but I've never been thrown.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to Kevin. He looks like he's in great spirits!!
I <3 horse back riding. I'm sorry to hear about your bro, I will keep him in my thoughts and send him vibes for a quick recovery!
ReplyDeleteYour poor brother. :(
ReplyDeleteI have gone horseback riding a few times when I was younger. My most recent trip was a couple of years ago when I went to visit friends in Phoenix. We totally "dressed up" with cowboy hats and bandanas for an evening ride to the T-Bone Steakhouse. Then after dinner we got to ride back to the stables in the dark. It was a total blast!! (I was concerned about a long horseback ride after dinner topped with apple pie and ice cream, but I survived!)
Not a horse person at all in spite of the fact that I grew up next to a horse trainer and every other girl on my block loved horses. One made it her career.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your brother.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the sells.
I only rode a camel .... here are the pictures:

I rode a horse, but, honesty? It is best we stay far apart. Big animals with big teeth and the ability to stomp on me? No thanks.
ReplyDeleteI went horseback riding quite often as a kid.. LOVED IT!!! Hope he heals quickly!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your bro! but, I do love horseback riding! I think they are beautiful creatures.
ReplyDeleteHow did the sales go this weekend??
I love horses, have yet to be thrown off one, however I have only rode on one a couple of times. :p
ReplyDeleteHope your bro feels better soon!
