Dominion Day
I was at the Super Centre on Yonge Street the other day. They have an upstairs area with tables and sometimes, when I have some work to do I will go there, buy a coffee and try to get some things done.
The other day, as I looked out over the rows and rows of colourful, fresh produce and the stocked to over flowing shelves I couldn't help but be thankful that I live where I do.
The Super Centre is ONE store in Newmarket. There are all sorts of grocery stores in this country that look just the same; overflowing with good quality, fresh food.
Why are we so 'lucky' in Canada?
Perhaps my opinion on that is best left to another day but today, on Canada's 139th birthday, look around, reflect on how wonderful, easy and glorious life is in this country.
Don't ever forget that there are places in the world that are not like this.
Don't ever take it for granted.
Happy Canada Day!

June 11th horse show
What a great day we had at the Blue Star show today. First of all, kudos to Shirley for making so many great renovations! The show grounds looked great.
Now about the Harrogate show team...What a great job they all did today. Everyone was turned out so nicely and had done a great job of getting the horses in 'show shape' too.
Every time we go to shows I always seem to see some people who have come unprepared and take it out on their horse. The Harrogate team, as always seems to be the case, comes ready to ride. They never blame their horses if things don't go exactly right and the whole impression is that the horses COME FIRST which is a philosophy I have always tried to live by.
I couldn't be prouder of all the riders from Harrogate today.
Thanks for making it so worth while!

Thinking....just thinking....
Our last horse show for the season is coming up and I am thinking that we should involve the adults this time.
Hmmm. May be I'll run this idea by the folks over at www.horseloverschat.com and see what ideas we come up with.
Anyone reading this can comment here or there.
