A Special Day

My birthday was a treat. Thank you all, for your sweet, sweet messages!

I got hugs and cards from the kids at school, phone and Facebook messages from friends and family, and even a birthday blog post (thanks mom!)

I also got chocolates.


And roses.


My friend gave me framed art, of sepia-toned western scenes.


My co-workers gave me an Amazon.com gift card! Oh, what shall I buy?


I went out to dinner with my dearest and oldest friend and we had pizza and root beer.


I got this award from my friend Meg over at Lucchese to Louis Vuitton.


I got the cutest horsey card from my cousin.


And this is her thoughtful message inside:


I highlighted the "kisses from your pony."

I didn't quite get kisses. Rather, I got the tongue.


But I did get to see my pony. Despite a lot of wind and some rain and a fairly cranky pony, the farrier came and My Boy got his shoe on.

My birthday has been the highlight of my week, and I still have celebrating to do this weekend, yeehaw!

So far, what has been the highlight of YOUR week?

  5. I am not even going to go there. My week has not been good. My only highlight is I have this weekend off and am looking forward to the 2 hockey games I get to go to and a few beers! Oh and spending time with my cowboy and hopefully my horses if the weather cooperates. Snow now, rain later :(

  11. Hey Pony Girl,
    Looks like you had a wonderful bash for your birthday! It's nice to be remembered by so many on your special day. I have never seen that card before, fun! What a special mom you have!

    The highlight of my week was meeting one of my rodeo heros at the Tucson Rodeo yesterday and getting a pic with him! (Jake Barnes - 7 time world champion team roper).

  18. So glad you got the Boy's shoe back on. Now you can ride again.

    The highlight of my week is probably the signs of Spring and being able to ride my horses. Its been a god-awful winter for riding around here because of the ice. I'm just so glad to see it all go. And maybe I can get my trailer out soon--once we gut the tractor unstuck from the MUD.

  23. Happy Birthday. Sounds like you had a great day!!
    You are absolutly right about feel and timing. It can take a life time to master. I was so amazed with Buck Brennamen when I rode with him. His whole presence had feel and timing.
    I have been experimenting with my horses and students with a format that helps develope feel and timing. I will be writing about it in my next post. I would love your feedback. Christa Lynn

  26. Glad you had a beaut day...
    My highlight? Hmmmm. Getting a morning to myself to get a mountain of ironing done while watching the Academy Awards (a rare thing on three counts there!). Or watching my kids play in the pool mostly without attempting to drown each other. Or having friends unexpectedly call by with car troubles and stay on for dinner.

    Thanks for the chance to realise how blessed I am!! Have a great year...
    :-)

  27. Happy Belated Birthday!!! (tried to post earlier but it wouldn't let me for some reason! :-(
    Here are a list of the movies you asked about with Tom Selleck:
    Last Stand at Saber River, The Shadow Riders, The Sacketts, Crossfire Trail, Quigley Down Under,
    Monte Walsh. Those are the western ones. I have them all except Quigley, but have watched it many, many times on TV. Will have to get it to add to my collection though. What a cowboy!!!! :-)
