I hope everyone had a
race (and safe) MkU>
weekend, and that you
paused long enough to re
member what the hofidav
was all about.
What few plans I had for
the weekend were suddenn
changed by a horse I was
having an enjoyable time
riding horses with my fa-
mily and my husband s
brother and wife.
Then I began feeling a
little too confident about
my horsrm irohip (or is it
horsepersrnship) and foo
ltshly allowed the horse to
go faster than was wise
Suddenly, what I had
feared would happen did
happen The horse stum
bled and I tumbled, head
first In short. I wound up
that night in an emergency
room having X rays and
spent the weekend (and
part of this week) in bed
with a slight cone—son
and a cracked pelvis
However at this writing
1 am greatly improved
and I appreciate all those
who prayed for me I also
am thankful that the Lord
protected me in my foolish
ness and carelessness and
didn't allow me to be hurt
more senouslv
My daughter. Tracv
played her first summer
league baseball game
Tuesday (which 1 missed
due to my mishap). She
came home all excited be
cause her team won and
because she had comribu
ted to that win with a cou-
ple of scores
Her team which for
some
re a ion
is tailed the
Demon* beat the Bubble
