I see that I have some visitors to my site other than myself. So I am inspired then to write about something.  It is very hot this week here in Simi Valley, California. We have no air conditioning in our house, just a "swamp cooler' on the roof. But we do have fans and I am sitting here typing this while being wafted by the one above my head on the ceiling. My thermometer on my desk says 100 degrees F outside and 91 inside. I think I will get a cold towel to put around my neck.
Smokey the cat just woke up he has been asleep under the bed in the front bedroom since about 11am. It is almost 4pm now.

My husband and I are expecting visitors. My stepson and his little boy are driving down from the bay area to stay for a few days. I have not seen them for several years !!! I am growing my hair out and it is now half grey, so I may have aged since they last saw me. They have probably aged too. This morning we went out to drop off some fencing materials at my step daughters and then over to where we keep our horses to turn them out and feed them their lunch, and make sure that they are perfectly happy. I am having a lot of fun putting pedigree news on my page on face book and putting old photos on my page. My sister just scanned one from her collection of me sitting on Eyton Rising a race horse owned by Leominster business man Frank Dale.
