Saver of Memories: June Wrap-Up

June was...hot and rainy. So I was either getting stuff done in the rain or in the melting heat. #funtimes

But, the good news is, I got stuff done!

Favorite Read of the Month

Saving Beauty. I snatched this book up a while back, possibly in one of those "hey, it's on sale, let me go ahead and get it" moments. And then it's forgotten. For months.

Basically, I started reading this book (as usual) not quite sure about what the whole plot was...and basically, I wasn't dissappointed. I started reading it during breakfast, agonized all morning, and then speed-read it over lunch. And WOW it was good!

Reading Plan

Got kinda behind on some of the readers. Still read every morning, but sometimes the evening chapters don't. actually. get. read. on. the. correct. day. Haven't gotten like crazy far behind, and I can catch up on Sundays, but yeah...

The Inevitable Photo Dump

RIDE AND TIES!!!! WHOOO!!!

So I did another Ride and Tie, and this time I borrowed a "Real Ride and Tie" horse from a lady who had an extra Arabian. :) Evan D. and I were all set to run hard and really race and actually compete and possibly win....and then Evan decided to not look at the map beforehand and ended up missing the first turn onto the loop....so yeah, we ended up not winning. But we managed to catch up to some people at the end. But it was still really fun!!

Standing tied and waiting for me. :)

Catching up to some teams in the range lands.

Glowy Arabian.

And then the Monday afterward I got together with another friend to do a mock Ride and Tie on our own. Just 2 miles, to kind of give them an idea of what the whole running-and-riding thing would be like.

Love Ruby's little ear bonnet!!

So we were all playing airsoft out behind the barn, and Dad came out to join us right after we hard started a new game. He comes strolling around the barn, wondering where we are....and we're all camping out in the woods and in the barn...so he rounds a corner and we all just unleash upon him...
