If you ask me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you; I came to live out loud.

via Facebook... Conversation with The Teen: Me: and while you're at the grocery store pick up some enchilada sauce, it will be in the Spanish foods aisle. The Teen: really? I figured it would be with Italian food... Sarcasm, it's generational :)

via Facebook... I took a nap. Actually, I took a sleep, because almost 5 hours is not a nap. So I might be here for awhile!

via Facebook... It's dark in the house, quiet. Everyone has settled down and a stillness slides across the rooms.... TIME FOR KITTY FIGHT CLUB! In this corner we have Manji, marmalade, and his missing tail just make him more ornery.... In that corner we have the elegant Lord Stanley, in his usual tuxedo... ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Went for a trail ride. First time in over a year! It felt good to be back in the saddle. Not so good now that I'm off :)

via Facebook... "A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity." -Jimmy Carter
