Just when you think you’ve heard of everything, you hear of a dating website for horse lovers!  My cousin Stacy tells me that she has found out about a dating club for horse lovers and she has taken advantage of their offer of FREE sign-up to see if she might be able to meet “Mr. Right.”  My hubby butted in with his “two cents” and said he thought she was more likely to meet “Mr. Ed!”  (Smart aleck!)

When we finished laughing, Stacy told me that she heard about the website from a friend of hers and she decided to check it out.  Stacy claims that it is a social networking group for horse lovers that want to meet other horse lovers, and it doesn’t have to just be people looking for romance, it could also be for people who just want to make new friends who share their love of horses. Besides, having an equestrian cupid might not be so awful!

Stacy has always loved horses and rides whenever she gets the chance.  She’s been talking about buying her own horse someday and has started to look around to see where she could board it when she gets one.  She’d love to find someone to go riding with!

We’ve been busy getting ready to spend a few weeks at camp.  We’re planning to go out there this weekend and stay until mid-July.  We LOVE spending the 4th of July weekend there!  That is the absolutely best weekend of the year as far as lack of bugs, and nice warm weather.  And of course, all of the neighbors spend a lot of their evenings setting off fireworks to celebrate their vacations!  It’s a great lazy time, with nothing to do but relax and enjoy the simple things in life, and go for an occasional boat ride.

I just received an email from a cousin that lives in a very rural area of Australia.  I was so surprised to get an email from her!  The last I’d heard from her was by US Mail, and she complained that she lived in such a rural area that she could not get Internet Access!  That news alone was a big shock to me because I’ve had Internet access for such a long time; it seemed to me that she would have had Internet access for a while now too!

I love the rustic furniture that we have in our camp.  I love it because it makes me think of simpler times, and it gives me a peaceful feeling.  My favorite furniture, though rustic, has lots of cushioning to it so that it is comfortable.  I don’t like anything that is too straight in the back, either.  Sitting bolt upright straight reminds me of sitting in a church pew and that is NOT my idea of comfort!  I love the casual feel that calls out to me “go ahead and kick off your shoes and relax.”

I also really like the “craftsman style” furniture in our year-round home.  Lots of wood, but also lots of cushioning.  I really like admiring the work that went into a piece of furniture.

On a lark I bought a bottle of Sobe Green Tea at the convenience store today. I was thirsty and didn’t have an appetite for cola or any of the regular choices of flavored sodas. I didn’t want one of those “energy drinks” either. I just wanted something to quench my thirst and have a little flavor with it.

The store had a nice selection of the Sobe line of drinks, and I spotted a bottle of Green Tea. It was a little more expensive than the Cokes and Pepsi’s. I like some of the other green teas that I’ve tried, so I thought the Sobe might be nice.

On the front of the bottle it lists the herbal contents as guarana, ginseng and rose hips. These were not a significant difference in taste, and overall I liked the Sobe green tea and would probably buy it again.

A fun little extra by the company is the short phrase under the bottle cap. The bottle cap that I read, said simply, “Oh Boy-D Coddington.” How odd! I have no idea what that is supposed to mean!
