Mom went horseback riding today with her friend Elogene. She said just the smell of the horse and saddle leather brought back nostalgic memories of her childhood. She had many horses as a teenager and loved nothing better than being in the saddle. She said it was like riding a bike and came back to her the minute she mounted up, but she can't remember her knees giving her trouble the last time she was on a horse, which was about 8 years ago. Guess knees get old too!
The weather was perfect and the scenery was gorgeous. A picture perfect day!

Cochise looked just like Mom's first horse, Stormy. |

| Superstition Mountains |
A few days ago the locals were very excited that it had snowed on the Superstition Mountains, which doesn't happen very often. Mom mentioned that according to NH standards that wasn't snow, it was more like frost. That comment didn't seem to go over very well.
