Life goes on

I mowed the back yard today. It had grown during our vacation, so I could run around the perimeter twice and then empty the grass catcher. The grass was heavy and wet. I ran over the funnel that I used to fill the mower gas tank. My friend, one of the owners, bought us a delicious meal today--grilled chicken, rolls, homemade mashed potatoes and green beans. My husband, son, two daughters and I enjoyed it. So thoughtful! I rode my horse, Hope, this morning. I used a different saddle and I think the stirrups stayed on the ball of my foot better. Did pretty well, but there was an awkward moment when I was giving Hope mixed signals. I am sad that my mother will never see me ride Hope. My husband has an appointment for hearing aids on Tuesday. I am excited as he will be more connected. My son's car needs a new thermostat and it is time for an oil change and to check the air pressure in the tires as one is low. Also the inside door handle stays out and the transmission needs to be tested.
