Flashbacks, courtesy of Mary P.

first up, me & Ms. Silver Sprite, circa 1993. At a show, looking very intense. Silver was a mare that I took care of and was lucky enough to be able to take to a few shows and pretend she was mine. Quite a challenging mare, but loads of fun!


And then, some pictures from Summer 2002, when I stayed with Mary in lovely Floyd, Virginia. Clearly, I could make people laugh, among other things. The threesome is me, Val, and Mary, hanging out in Greensboro, where Val lives. We had gone down to visit her because she was too nauseous from her early pregnancy with baby-to-be Justice. Of course, not knowing any better, we made fun of her. Payback was when I was pregnant and crazy nauseous. 









Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Clara had a fun afternoon making these ice cream cone cupcakes with her Nana and Pa!

Tree House!

Zach and I escaped for a night in a tree house. !!!! He found it and totally surprised me with the fun night out. 



Treats with Uncle Nouri

We enjoyed a special afternoon out with Uncle Nouri while he was visiting - ending it with treats at the Summer Kitchen.

New Year's meander

We had a toned down version of our traditional New Year's Day hike - just a meander down the Berkeley Pier. Molly tromped around in her super-cool new footie pajamas (yay me & Nona!). And we were joined for part of it by the O'Jaggars. Happy new Year!
