Well I think I'm settling into my fall routine.........As the weather turns colder, I feel like cooking more - ( !!!?? )
Last week , I made a delicious ratatouille. First time I have cooked with eggplant ( or aubergine, as they say across the big pond ). Today, I am starting a mexican stew. I like hearty soups and stews in the fall, as the air gets colder.
I love my job at the corset shop ( even though I don't get paid ). Whe you work for free, you can set your own hours. Well - that's one perk. I like sewing a whole lot more when it's not in my own house - not sure why that is?
I need to spend more time with Xena, though. What I really need/want now is a riding buddy. My only girlfriend who rides is going thru a divorce, and doesn't have much riding time right now - Plus she lives an hour away from me - The divorce will ultimately turn out to be a good thing and we willl be able to ride together more often - just not this autumn. I do have a teenage girl who rides Xena for me, and does very well with her. She even showed her this past summer, and won a bunch of ribbons!
I started up with my personal trainer this week. I seem to be too lazy to work with weights unless there is someone forcing me to do it. Oh well.......
I have only one child living at home now - and it is HEAVEN!! I am so much more relaxed! I actually enjoy seeing the kids when they come over for dinner, or to leave their laundry now. Wow!

Life is Good
