Great Horse Tips Award

Before heading off on vacation, I thought I’d forward the Great Horse Tips Award to a blogger I always enjoy reading, EquineInk. I particularly enjoy posts about equipment. So if you’re at all interested in learning about saddles, bareback pads, bitless bridles or hoof gel for someone who has actually used these things, take a look at EquineInk.
I’m off to Hawaii (the big island) for two weeks with my daughter to celebrate the tenth birthday of her transplanted kidney. It’s no small thing to hand on to a transplanted kidney for ten years, and she deserves an extravagant celebration to honor her achievement, and to honor the life she has fought so hard to keep. We are going to paint the island red, so to speak.
We plan to spend two weeks doing all her favorite things. Horseback riding on the Parker Ranch, soaking in the hot salt springs near Hilo, sitting on the beach at Mauna Lani, driving through the volcanic wastelands, swimming with wild dolphins off Kona, sleeping late into the day and eating sushi late into the night.
During this time, I will be blissfully offline. No phone (the most important person will be with me, so no need for one), no computer, no television. Just us, and the island. I imagine there will be plenty to write about when I get back.

Happy late birthday to you, happy birthday to the kidney and I hope you have a fabulous time over there. xoxoxoxxxx
Woohoo! Congrats to your daughter, and have a wonderful time!
