 Join us for the CLS Spring Fun Show & Kentucky Derby Party Saturday, May 5 |
 Dear CLS Family and Friends, Tonight, Cooper and I dropped Cashlyn at a birthday party. And instead of dashing back to work, we went shopping. Actually, I shopped while he devoured Chic-Fil-A and then napped in the backseat of my beloved old CRV. I was cruising SteinMart, loading my arm with wild, colorful clothes to try, when I wondered why I wasn't having fun. I've always loved to shop. Granted, it's been years since I had a "real" job and shopped for - and adored - fancy clothes. And shoes, honey, you have no idea. But tonight, shopping just didn't feel right. Granted, I'm way out of practice. But more than that, it just felt absurd. Racks upon racks upon racks of clothes and more clothes, on top of shoes and scarves and baubles of every description. We don't just live in a land of plenty. We live in a land of obscene amounts of plenty. I dumped my armful of garments on a chair and walked out the door empty handed. Cooper was waiting. He cuddled in my lap, one floppy ear layed over the bottom of the steering wheel. Precious. We picked up a smiling Cashlyn and all was right again with the world. Clearly, I'm getting old. My life is resembling a bad country song -- trusty ol' dogs, worn out blue jeans and a rusty old car. Truth be told, I always have enjoyed country music. Thanks everyone and we'll see you at the barn. Parker Pictures to the right: Cooper gets used to the CLS way with a big hug from Jeanne (top) while poor Buddy has to wait (2). Cashlyn goes through a rite of passage with new braces (3) - ouch! and Carver is looking great trying on new show duds. (4) Thank you Becker Brothers for getting our riders ready for Raleigh! |

 Our Barn Helper of the Week is . . . Miss Abby Dwiggins
As barn helpers go, Abby is fairly new. But what she lacks in experience, she more than makes up for in attitude. Barn days never get too long for this 12-year-old honor student at Meadowlark Middle School.
Grooming horses, scooping poop, sweeping the lounge, turning out horses, cleaning tack, saddling, hot walking -- it doesn't matter what is asked of Abby, she is eager and excited to get the job done. And she's a great negotiator -- "Just a few more minutes Mom, please. I have a job to do." And she will sweep the hallway -- again. Abby set the record recently for sweeping the hallway more than 15 times!
Abby has been riding for a year and a half. She is a student of Ms. Jeanine's. Her favorite school horse is Moment. She has two big horse-related goals. One is to show a horse. The second is to become a veterinarian. Oh those girls in love with horses . . . |
