Yvonne You look like you are having a great time on your first horseback ride ! The horse looks like she is enjoying the leisurely stroll on the trail as well. They do not use baby horses for riding stables, and usually it is the very settled older horses that are...

I am a senior lady, living in the southern United States. I enjoy the mild winters here compared to northern Idaho, where I grew up. I have shoveled all the snow that I ever want to have to shovel in this lifetime ! I love...

Yvonne I remember, years ago, my mother-in-law (who has long-since passed away) told me that inside the body of every 75 year old woman, beats the heart of a 17 year old girl. Now that I am there, I can see that she was right. The old body won’t do what it used to,...

I skipped it 2 weeks ago because I had too many fruits and vegetables. It is a lot of stuff for just 1 person--even when you get the small box. This is what I received today: cilantro, parsley, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli,...

Yvonne We just received our box from Misfits Market yesterday, too. I sometimes skip a week or two if I still have fruit and veggies left over; but I really enjoy getting the Misfits boxes. This time, I tried some of the extra things that they have besides the...

When you look at some of the older carvings and paintings from the ancient Egyptian or South American cultures, many of them seem to depict very advanced things, like airplanes, helicopters, and even something that looks like a...

Yvonne There are a lot of older buildings that seem like they should not have been built by using the technology that was available at the time they were built, and this is true for buildings even up until the 1800’s. Some of the most beautiful cities around the...

Does anyone remember watching the tv show called The Beverly Hillbillies? I remember it well, back in the day. Granny was my favorite character. Funny, today they would probably not be allowed to call a show "Hillbillies". It...

Yvonne Poor old Bernie Sanders had no clue that he was going to become the “star” of so many memes and photos when he was sitting out there looking cold and miserable at the Biden inauguration. He probably hates it, but they are mostly all funny. I remember...

We’re leaving shortly and heading south to take photos at a Horse Trekker’s Club event. We regularly take photos at endurance rides but the trekkers do shorter distances at a slower pace. It’s really just a social ride. But every...

Yvonne That looks like a lot of fun to do ! Back when I had horses, i used to go on a lot of trail rides, and I really enjoyed doing that. I lived in north Idaho when I was growing up, and there were a lot of mountain areas for us to go trail riding in. I belonged...

Yvonne I seriously do NOT like all of the bugs that we have in the summer ! There are a lot more bugs here that in the north country, and different kinds of them, too. My favorite bug has to be the firefly, and I love seeing them at night, lighting up the sky as...

Yvonne What a fine gentleman you are. ! thank you for the welcome. Unfortunately, it is quite cold, even inside the house, and so I am not giving my coat up at all, and people will just have to put up with my “bundled up” look for the time being. Of course, if...

Racehorses are very highly-strung and most of my accidents have been when they have taken fright at some small thing. Anyone who rides almost daily for 50-plus years is bound to have a few mishaps. The first bad accident I had...

Yvonne @jaboUK , My right leg is several inches shorter than my left leg (and it was my short leg anyway), and since the bones were shattered, it is back together a little bit crooked, which messes with my balance. I can only wear pretty flat shoes, no more high...

Yvonne I see that you are from the UK. By chance have you ever read the book “ Talking With Horses”, by Henry Blake ? He did interesting experiments in the mental communication between horses, and with people, back around the 1940’s. It is one of the most...

Yvonne I have also had several falls, and scary horse-riding accidents; but only one really serious one. It was a new horse that was green broke when I got her, and for some reason she must have been having a bad day that morning. When I went to get on her, she...

Yvonne I think that when we get older, or have some fatal disease, then it is natural to think about death. I wonder each night if i am going to wake up the next morning; but I do not worry about it. I have asked my family to just have me cremated, and I do not care...

Yvonne @myklj999 , okay, that is interesting information for me, and something I had no idea of. I know on a regular forum, it does not make sense to directly respond to a person who has not been active; but in a discussion , then I thought it didn’t matter. I have...

Yvonne @celticeagle , actually, I am not looking for a source that sees things like I see them, and supports my beliefs. What I want to know is what is the TRUTH, even if it the opposite of that I thought, or what I wanted it to be. If we can’t open-mindedly look...

This may be a little controversial but I freely admit that I am a committed carnivore! Although I do eat up all my veggies they have to be accompanied by some kind of meat. That, of course, actually makes me an omnivore - which is...

Yvonne @ScotMac , I like meat, too, and have eaten it all my life. However, the meat that we buy at the stores that has come from commercial food processing plants, is far different from the meat that a farmer got when he butchered his steer in the fall. Much of our...
