Recent retiree--35 year's experience teaching reading, English, adult basic education and volunteer leadership skills.

Greatest life accomplishments include: 1.organized my 3rd grade class to check out library books for me to get around librarian's weekly limit--Amazon.com, the Mullins Elementary 3rd Grade Class of 1956 is still waiting for "thank you" notes; 2. volunteered in the Peace Corps, island of St. Kitts, West Indies; 3.taught adults to read, earn their GEDs., and speak English as a second language; 4. bought a border collie puppy for $6, got evicted rather than give him up, and began a life-long love affair with all things "Dog"; 5. joined a physical fitness boot camp in my mid-50s--don't mess with someone who's been doing regulation pushups in wet grass at 5:30 a.m.; 6. walked across Northern England with best friend Sally--over 80 miles from the Irish to North Seas; and 7. travelled to many foreign countries for pleasure and work.

Friday Fences - More from a Kentucky Horse Farm

 

Here's a "long" view of the fence surrounding a horse farm just outside Louisville--see the farm in the previous post that I shared for this week's Barn Charm meme. This fence says "Kentucky horse farm" with its combo of stained wood fencing and stone walls. And, while we're thinking horses--and racing--good luck to I'll Have Another and cool young jockey Mario Gutierrez in their run for the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes tomorrow. It feels like the year for some history making.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by Summit Musings to visit and leave comments.  I've been distracted with some things this week and haven't been able to return the favor.  For sure I'll do so over the weekend.

I really like your long view of the fence. It's too bad about I'll Have Another, but I hope you have a great weekend.

I've always dreamt of visiting a Kentucky horse farm. Such incredibly beautiful places, and those horses...

The horse farms in Kentucky are lovely. Too bad that I'll Have Another did not get to run in the Belmont Stakes, but he should have a good life.
