Beauty in horses and wonderful memories

PC's daughter loves horses... Her love for horses reminds me of when I was growing up and how much I loved horses too.

I remember wondering if I would ever have one. I gave up on that dream, but I remember my parents making it possible to take a picture of me sitting on a horse when I was very young. There was a man, going around with his horse offering neighbors to take pictures with the horse, a way for him to make some money to feed his family. I wonder where that picture is today? I'll have to look for it. That moment meant alot to me, I remember that picture and that day so well.

I had another opportunity to get close to some more horses in high school. I remember the Cheer Squad going to a ranch to take yearbook pictures around the ranch.

Definitely some good times to remember.

So here's to the beauty of horses and the blessing that God gave me, the gift of drawing... and PC, thank you, for encouraging and helping bring out my gift again!
