I've written about Shetland--the islands--before, but today I want to tell you about a new show you should watch! Several years ago I read a series of mysteries by Anne Cleeves that take place in Shetland, and a couple years after that they created a TV series about it. The show is filmed in… Continue reading What to watch: Shetland

Reading Again (#sol17 27/31)
I finally gave in and bought a book I knew I would like--and what a difference that makes! Once we made it to our hotel this weekend, I knew I'd want a book to read, so I got on Amazon and purchased the latest Robert Dugoni (a typical, predictable mystery thriller) and I've been devouring… Continue reading Reading Again (#sol17 27/31)
The Remuda: A haiku (#sol17)
It's the Remuda: horses in all directions; I am in Heaven. As you may or may not know, I am at Road to the Horse in Lexington, Kentucky. On opening day, they run twelve mostly untouched colts into the arena who have journeyed from the 6666 Ranch in Texas. The horses run around to much… Continue reading The Remuda: A haiku (#sol17)
Shetland, My Love (#sol17 22/31)
Yesterday I shared some pictures and highlights from my last trip to Scotland. Today, I want to share some photos from the Shetland Islands. It is truly a GORGEOUS place, and if you're taking a trip to Scotland, you might as well go all the way! Brace yourself for a LOT of pictures. You can… Continue reading Shetland, My Love (#sol17 22/31)
Longing for Scotland (#sol17 21/31)
Lately I've been really wanting to go to Scotland. My husband and I went in 2010 and we planned to go back in 2015, but that didn't happen. Now my good friend really wants to go with me and I think it would be SO FUN. But, due to buying a new house, a trip… Continue reading Longing for Scotland (#sol17 21/31)
Bed Time (#sol17 24/31)
I love to sleep. I like to go to bed earlyish and get up earlyish (only because I have to). I'm kind of cranky if I don't get to bed early, if my sleep gets disturbed, or if I don't get enough sleep. I'm a light sleeper and it's hard for me to sleep in… Continue reading Bed Time (#sol17 24/31)
Back in the Saddle (#sol17 19/31)
I finally got back on my horse today. It's been forever since I've been in the saddle, or at least that's how it feels. It's only been like two or three weeks, but dang I miss it! The weather was perfect. Sunny, cool (a little cold in the shade). Copper was a sweet boy as… Continue reading Back in the Saddle (#sol17 19/31)
The Struggle to Workout (#sol17 15/31)
This week I might finally work out twice. Ha! I have been so laaaazy lately. I just can't seem to get motivated. I hate to blame everything on the dog, but he is a big part of the problem. I can't go to kickboxing unless my husband's schedule allows him to pick up the dog.… Continue reading The Struggle to Workout (#sol17 15/31)
Reading Lately (#SOL17 5/31)
I'm an avid reader. It's not uncommon for me to read five books on Thanksgiving vacation or a dozen in a month. But lately that is not the case. Today is March 5th and you know how many books I've read? Brace yourself... Zero. ZERO! Zilch. Nada. I can't even believe it! I'm so disappointed,… Continue reading Reading Lately (#SOL17 5/31)
Horse Soccer (#SOL17 4/31)
I have spent the day in Montgomery at the Alabama Horse Fair surrounded by horses, tack, food, horsey people, and puppies (basically all my favorite things). I've learned some things from clinicians like Stacy Westfall, watched the parade of breeds, and been entertained by trainers like Make Gascon on his fun horse Tito. If you're… Continue reading Horse Soccer (#SOL17 4/31)
