Farm Girl

Happy June! I have had some fun moments and wanted to share another.  Did you all know I grew up a "city-fied cowgirl?" Yes, I was raised in a semi-rural farm area in So. California. It was where the suburbs and country met in a city! Crazy right?  Many neighbors has farm animals like horses, cows, lambs and chickens.  One of our neighbors has some geese and they where like a burglar alarm. Any time anyone walked near them the would honk very loudly. Honk, honk, honkkkkkkk!

We had the 4-H club in our community, too. For those that don't know, that is a club where you raise farm animals, create crafts or etc that are entered in completions at the County Fairs.  I raise a lamb and boy was he a handful. After months of training him, he did great at the fair and we won a ribbon. What a cool experience this was.

I was around lots of farm animals but horses were my favorite. My family housed a horse for a friend when I was young and later I got a pony.  As a little kid, I remember being so afraid to ride one but over the years, I learned to love it.

So, fast forward a few decades and we saw a horse riding place near one of my favorite malls. For a few years, I have wanted to stop by and recently we finally did. It was like a ghost town and hardly anyone was around.  So we just looked around.

Then last weekend, we stopped by again.  They had a petting zoo and pony rides for the kids and we enjoyed driving through and seeing all the live stock.  One thing I forgot about was the strong smell. LOL! When I got out and walked around, that smell was saying hello to my nose! LOL!

But overall it was fun to go down memory lane there. I am not sure I want to ride at this place but it was fun just being there.

Here are some pics from our adventure!



 

This horse had a friendly face. I think he was saying,  "Hey, can you be my friend?"

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice weekend!

    It was so fun to learn more about your growing up years. I have to laugh at your comment about the smell. The first time we took our first granddaughter to the County Fair, she sniffed the air and said, "The animals are this way, I can smell them. Let's go see them." She has always been an animal lover.

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great.  Today I wanted  to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you.  Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception.  I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves.  How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular  views.  So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view.  They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor.  Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous.  Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...
