Life is a whirlwind these days and its evident by my absence here, a place I love to spend whatever free time I manage to find (but rarely ever find, it seems). Life moving faster than the wind moving pages of a paperback book. For us all, I presume. Hoping that this new year brings with it a slowness December seems to always lack; time to regroup, organize, clean up, breathe.

In any event, we spent part of an afternoon at the stables here in San Juan, where our friend Sarah has a few horses she was kind enough to let us visit. And ride. And pet. Hoping to bring the boys back more often and maybe even squeeze in a lesson or two as Hooper, especially, has always had a love for horses. And Van, well, cowboys.
