Jenny and Rebel....







 After chores I went down to Wegmans and picked up some things
for our dinner (for 12) on Monday.  Helen will be doing her storytelling
and the rest of us our providing the meal.

At 1:30 Jenny arrived to ride Rebel.
She has not ridden in years, but he has been such a good boy she was
ready to get back in the saddle.
 Today there was no calling out to his girls, he was totally tuned in to us.
Jenny missed her old Steuben Siegfried saddle but I think she will get used
to my Albion if she rides more.



 After she rode, I got on him for a few minutes.
 He seemed very comfortable with both of us.




I feel so fortunate to have this horse!   He is a gentleman,
beautiful and so sweet.
 Tonight Jen, Scott, Finn, and Coop joined us for Gary's birthday dinner.

 We went to the Village Inn in Caledonia.


 We had quite a variety of meals.
Cream of Asparagus soup, Seafood Chowder, House salads, Cesar Salad,
Chicken French, Chicken Alfredo, Strip Steak and a Shrimp Dish.







 Everything was delicious!
Just as Gary was selecting his free birthday dessert, the waitress delivered a gift certificate from our daughter Stephanie and her family (Las Vegas).  They picked up
the tab and we have enough left to go back again!
What a generous gift to all of us!
 The waitress brought us a huge piece of chocolate cake and we all had a taste.
 On the way home, the sunset was beautiful.







 Jenny had already brought this birthday treat before we left for dinner.
More cake!
My piece will have to wait until tomorrow.
Night all.
