Where have I been????

Sorry for the radio silence over here. I was out of town for the past week visiting my family. I also had a trip-within-a-trip for our annual girls shopping trip in Michigan. I'm back at work today and I'm already grumpy. lol  It sure didn't take long!  I had a nice time with my family.  It is hard sometimes to miss out on all of the stuff that fills someone's daily life, but I managed to cram in quite a few things in my week there.

I attended my cousin's rugby game and got to meet my brother's new puppy!

This little cutie is "Riggs". My brother and his girlfriend just lost their old girl a few weeks ago and were ready for a new puppy. They said that the house was too quiet without a dog there.

I am missing my horse and the smells of the barn, but the next best thing for me is being in a forest.  These photos were taken in a small forest near my Mom's house in the city.  It isn't home, but it reminds me of the forest where I spent most of my childhood playing.

Max had to pose for a few pictures for me...

I hope to have some horse-related posts going later this week! Now I am off to catch up on everyone else's blogs!
