Hi Jean, 
 
Good to hear from you again, How are you feeling? You know I was 
telling my Mom about you and Baby and she reminded me that when I was 
little we had friends with a ranch in the Bay area near Santa Rosa, CA 
and that I learned to ride by riding a quarter horse named, "Babe" 
which my Mom thought was the ideal horse for me to ride because since I 
was the baby of my family, My nickname was and still is "The Babe"-I 
just can't seem to get my family to realize I am 33 years old now.  But 
this horse use to be used for barrel racing in rodeos so sometimes Babe 
would take me for a ride(around and around those barrels we went-I sure 
miss those days)But the family we knew sold the ranch and the animals 
after the girl who taught me to ride, Her father died in an accident-He 
was surf fishing at Bodega Bay and was caught in the surf by what is 
called sneaker waves and he was pulled under the water and drowned in 
his hip waders.  I think that I tried to forget because I was fond of 
the family and it was very sad what happened to their lives---So I 
thought I would tell you that there was a "Baby" once in my life too, 
only her name was "Babe" and although I don't know what happened to her 
she too was gentle and sweet dispositioned and I was glad my mother 
reminded me of her because I will now always treasure those memories.  
So, You do the same about your Baby.  As for:

I know I have time to travel, But I am scared, scared that I won't see 
my dreams come true.  I have had 2 bad marriages in my life and because 
of those controlling relations I never got to do with my life what I 
wanted to, and now I am divorced and my boyfriend wants more of a 
commitment but I afraid if I do, I will never see what I want to see, 
(like travel to Florida, or Cayman Islands, or Cozumel), and I will 
never get my schooling completed-I know I am being selfish But I do 
think it's my turn to accomplish my dreams first.  What do you think?
