My Birthday

A lot as happened to me since my last post.  A tree fell on my house-right thru the middle.  I had a couple of meetings I had to cancel because of it plus a planned 7 day trip I could not get out of which delayed everything because my husband and my son decided they would rebuild the house.  Which so far it has turned out looking pretty good 3 months later--its almost complete. Also my computer got hacked and I lost nearly everything.  It pay to backup you computer because one they got you its to late to do anything but unplug your computer as fast as you can and hang up the phone if you called.  Which of course I did not. 

My seven day trip was for my birthday from my loving husband.  He know how crazy I've become about horse since our last trip to Wyoming--you remember the photos I posted-how could you forget?  This time he took me to Shackleford Island in North Carolina.



 There were lots of horses but there was this beautiful black and white lighthouse with a board walk that went around and to the back of the Island.  There were lots of birds and crabs and different types of flowers.  You ride a ferry out to the Island and you can stay for several hours or till the next ferry comes by--its up to you.

The horses will walk within 25 feet of you but will not allow you to get to close.  They are wild and unpredictable; so, you need to keep your distance if your smart.  I actually got to be there on my Birthday which made the whole trip special.  We visited several places but you will have to wait to here about them.  Hope you can make time to be out in the Wilderness.
