A Beautiful Day for a Horse Ride

Today was horseback lesson day and, finally, the weather cooperated...not too cold or windy, no rain, no snow. I'm a little sorry about the no snow, but grateful that I was able to ride. Doc was behaving beautifully with none of the attitude he sometimes has.

Amanda is visiting for the holidays and she ran up while we were having our lesson. She loves riding, so we put her on Doc and Betsy walked her around the arena a few thousand times. Amanda was happy.

Later in the day, Angie brought Amanda over and I gave her the first Harry Potter book to read. Amanda loves to read and she had finished the book she brought with her. She read two chapters while she was at the house, so I think she liked the book.

She's also making her own book, which is reminiscent of my cousin Betty and I writing our detective mysteries while we waited for Santa so many years ago.
