tap tap..........this thing on?
Don't hurt yourself. I'm blogging. I won't waste time apologizing - only to say that blogging falls low on my priority list at this moment in time. I've realized that......brace yourself......I can't do it all. I know - it was a shocking revelation to me as well. But really - the feeling of having your priorities in check totally rocks.
Enough of that.
Thought I'd give you the readers digest of what has been going on here at Club Amaro over the last 2 months. I'll start with today and work my way backwards....somehow that feels right.
Today was career day at school. Abby wanted to be an "Equine Exhibitor". And yes, that is a genuine riding habit that she's wearing (about 3 sizes too big, thank goodness for safety pins) and her pink stick horse named Jewel. Some good friends of ours breed, train and show Tennessee Walking Horses and the exposure to them has made Abby a huge fan. She's all about it. Wonder what next career day will bring?
Next we have the first official "school play"....entitled "EI-EI-Oops!" It takes place on Old Mac Donald's farm. There were ALOT of kids in the production....BIG HUGE KUDOS to the drama teacher. How he got that many Kindergarten and 1st graders to be quiet and follow directions that well, I will never know. Abby was one of the "ducks"...her lines (all 15 words) were very well spoken and expressive. And her waddle was quite the sight. It was a cute production and Abby loved it. I would like to say there may be a future for this child in the performing arts.
Most of you are hopefully aware of the horrible flooding that has occurred here in the last week. Nashville was hit very hard it. We were very fortunate to not have any flooding in our neighborhood, but as you can see from the picture above, there was ALOT of water. Normally, there is a ditch right in front of where the mailbox is. This ditch was completely covered with water and it began to encroach on the first tree there in the yard. In the backyard, there was so much water that the little kids slide we have was floating! Please pray for Nashville - although the devastating aftermath has hardly been covered by national media, it is VERY bad.
Yes. My husband rode a horse. That's all I have to say about that.
Yes. My daughter rode a horse. And now she wants to be an equine exhibitor. That's all I have to say about that.
My sweet Nana passed away at the end of March. We had a whirlwind tour to see her just before she passed and was able to attend the funeral before coming home. I cherish the last few days that I got to spend with her in the nursing home.
Abby and I took a little trip to the Nashville Zoo over spring break. She has been there a handful of times, but this was my first visit. Uh......yeah. I am from San Diego. Were you aware that San Diego has a world-famous zoo? There's a reason that the Nashville Zoo is not world famous. I'm just sayin'.
I love this picture of my man that I took when we were in Louisiana. I've been trying to spend some time with my long lost friend "The Reb". The photographic activity has been low over the last month, but I hope get a little shutter finger exercise soon. Most of my photo shots and favorite shots are available for viewing over at AFH Online. Please go there and look around. Sign up for the email updates. Grab the feed and stay up to date.

Here's a few recent shots:
Phew....that took alot out of me. I think I may need a nap. I hope that you feel a bit more up to speed and that it won't be 2 months before you see me here again.
Lotsa love.

I loved Abby's waddle in the play,she cracked me up. Her line was superb; one of the few that I understood!
welcome back :)
Yay! I am so glad you are back. I was beginning to worry. I am so sorry about your Nana but am glad you were able to spend a couple of days with her. I remember that trip but didn't know that is why you were here. Miss you!
