Just got back from a week in Barbados...sunshine, warm weather, surf, sand, 
sea...wow!!
Best part of the whole trip, though, was a 2 hour ride on a cattle ranch in 
the highlands of Barbados.  The whole family was there...me, Richard, Mike, 
my other son, Jamie and his girlfriend, and my daughter, Juelie and her 
boyfriend.  The only real riders in the group were me and Juelie.  It was a 
real hoot watching Richard try to ride for his first time in an English 
saddle!!  He lovingly renamed his horse "Nutcracker"!  He was bouncing all 
over the place!!...he's too used to his big, old Western saddle (g).  Wish 
I'd had my video camera!!  I'd win the America's Funniest Videos contest in a 
flash!
Glad to be home, albeit to the coldest weather all winter..boo!!  Spring was 
supposed to have arrived while we were away....Sure missed my horses and 
puppies!
Meg
