VN :>    Hey, remember me?  I called Meg's BBS, left a message
VN :>and when I was replying to one from Mike, the board HUNG UP
VN :>on me!  That's okay, long distance BBSing is EXPENSIVE, I
VN :>love this echo but calling Ipswich is a little much!
Hmmmm. wonder why it hung up on you....Glad to see you back, if only in the 
interim until you get your computer problems solved.  Bob had sent you a 
message about your BBS changing its number, but guess you didn't get it.
VN :>     I actually rode Dub BAREBACK down the road with some
VN :>neighbors, my 7 year old neighbor Brittany rode Spot
VN :>bareback with me.  We did fine until Dub decided to scare
VN :>me and jig all the way home so I got off!  I bet I haven't
VN :>ridden him bareback in 3 years; it was a spur of the moment
VN :>thing.
Phew!  Don't blame you for getting off!  Jigging under saddle is one thing, 
trying to deal with it bareback is another (g).
VN :>have missed.  The horses are in the front yard, in a 48 x
VN :>48 pen with two palm trees for shade and for munching on.
VN :>;)  They love it, and so do I.  The houses have lots of
VN :>things for me to do on them, none exigent, but I did put an
VN :>air conditioner on the guest house last week so it'll be

VN :>season.  Everything else is pretty much getting stuff the
VN :>way _I_ want it, as well as painting and patching.  I am
Ah, the joys of home ownership!  Sounds like you're having fun, though. 
Nothing like getting a house settled the way you want it.

VN :>photos, I will have to make sure I have everyone's address
VN :>to send them to!  BTW, Jean, we don't even barbeque without
411 Linebrook Road, Ipswich, MA  01938....and you BETTER send me some 
pictures!
Glad to see you back, and to see you're enjoying yourself.  A letter or 
phonecall to let me know how everything in your life is going would be much 
appreciated!!  What are the chances of that trip east in the fall?  Still on 
your agenda?  I've been dreaming of Phoenix lately...especially since we've 
had no really warm weather at all so far this year.  We've had the HEAT on 
the last 3 nights!  Been in the high 30's and low 40's in the a.m.  The 
horses haven't even completely shedded out yet...and this, the first week of 
June!  BTW, what's the scoop on Dub's showing?  Did he do that dressage show?
