Thanks Statia and Cassidy! (Statia, I guess Saba will have to wait for another time...)

Cassidy, We have quarter horses and show halter (in hand) and western pleasure. I also have an appendix qh (1/2 thoroughbred and 1/2 qh) that I show in the hunter under saddle classes. I'm trying to break in some new boots, and I know you understand the torture my poor feet are enduring!
No time like the present to get back into it!

phitnessphan - we're going to Jamaica in a month also - where are you staying?

caribtraveler & jasper. You are making me sad I was not able to get anyone who would go with me to see Prince. :( (I did not want to go alone.)

I missed this post the past few weeks!!

Rant: I got up at 3am this morning to get her to her high school to catch a 4am bus.

Rant: Instead of driving home, I went to my office to sleep on a couch until starting work at 8am, and I BADLY overslept. I had scheduled an 8am appointment, and didn't wake up till a colleague called me at 8:20 to find out where I was.

Rave: Our receptionist totally saved my ***, letting people know I was running late, and rescheduling things so that it all worked out by 11:15 am.

Whew!
