A 37 year-old pony wins at dressage AND humans help another human find an engagement ring that fell into the river!

First of all, I wanted to tell you all that Hubby had success finding a place to live in the Paso Robles area – FROM ONE OF YOU! Yup, we had several of you offer arrangements and one thing or another didn’t quite work… but then a reader up in Oregon (Thank you, Pat) knew of a vineyard owner who knew of another vineyard owner that had a cottage available. The vineyard owners rent the cottage on the weekends but had no takers M-Thursday. Of course, Hubby only needs a place M-Thurs so it worked out GREAT! Hubby has already moved into this lovely cottage on the vineyard – with a terrific view – for a very reasonable rate! He is thrilled! Thank you all for networking and helping. Wonderful! A big sigh of relief.

This is a little difficult to decipher but it is Hubby’s view from his cottage porch – the sunset over the vineyards. Thank you, readers, for helping him find this dream situation!

I have two stories for you today… both made me smile.

Of course, I champion the older horses… so this story of the 37 year-old competitive pony was right up my alley… and then the story of humans banding together and jumping into the water to help a stranger find the wedding ring he accidentally dropped in the water while proposing… well, both stories made my heart sing.
