another great day

Well 2 days of things off my bucket list, tho think i would like to do them more before i die.  Yesterday was the moped or scooter.  Today i got back on a horse after 30 years.  I rode a horse (Chester) down the beach.  I have wanted to go riding on the beach since i was a kid.  Today i did it.  Granted it was part of a group and it wasn't the best horses in the world but he was good and a bit spirited, wanted to go speeds i couldn't go because of the group and wanting spots he shouldn't have so it took something on my part.  I found i still have my seat (an expression meaning i still sit well in the saddle at different speeds) and I remember most of what i knew all those years ago.  I rode for many years, 30 , so guess i rode as much as i didn't ride.  It was wonderful.  Leroy drove a few spots and took pictures and wondered why i didn't see him, tho he knew i was in a zone.  I was.  The sand, surf and the horse are all i knew, it was totally great.  I will dream about it tonight.  I posted one picture on face book but will post more here as it really wasn't the best one. I can only say, it brought many memories as i rode along and I thank ol Chester for giving them to me again.  God had to have a hand in the last two days.  All has gone well and i didn't kill or mame myself, so he must have been looking out for me.  As i said on facebook, who says a 66 year old fat grey haired ole lady can't still experience and try new things.
So today after my one mile walk, my ride, we walked on the beach and the jetty and drove around.  Man are houses cheap here.  The dogs had a chance to run wild on the beach another day.  Each day they build up endurance i am sure but are sooooo tired when we come back.  We all are.  The exercise and the fresh aire are so great.  Of course have worked on my little foam project but not gotten any real sewing in.
We still need to play mini golf and play pool, as they are here at the resort.  We may drive go carts too if it isn't too expensive and we want to take the bikes into town and ride on those great flat streets/roads.
Don't think i have anything to report on my doing dumb things side, at least for today.  We went to the interpretive center but it was closing so will hit that another day this week.
