Dream Journals

"Have you ever kept a dream journal Mom?" asked my 16 year old daughter.

That's funny she asked.  I used to keep one years ago.  I'd write my dreams down as soon as I had one, but over the years I stopped writing in it.  As to why, I really don't know.

The kids, especially the older two, have found that writing a novel is better than sitting around sulking that they can't find jobs.  My son in particular is secretly writing away, and I have a bad feeling I'm in that journal - yikes!  I've always warned them to be careful because they may end up in my novel.  Now, I am the one that has to be careful.  However, our lives would make a great novel. I very good one indeed.

First Horse Riding Competition

My 16 year-old daughter came home with several ribbons from her very first horse riding competition.  The ribbon in the center is from winning Grand Champion in ground pole division!
