I know that I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy helping my dad with yard work. Mostly picking up the clippings from his trimming the hedge. Also, yesterday one of Dad's old doctorate students-oddly enough the last one who actually managed to finish his doctorate, dissertation and all-and the doctorate student that is going to be starting in the fall came over to dinner, which was a lot of fun. 

On Monday, at my riding lesson, I rode in the outdoor ring for the first time since I started riding at Rocking Horse Equestrian Center (my stable) one year ago. It was a lot of fun and also very odd because the outdoor ring is about one and a half times larger than the indoor ring, so I had to half-halt a lot, even though I was riding Rosie.

On Thursday I went to the Fourth Annual Homeschooler Not-Prom with a bunch of friends. Basically all that we did was dress up in pretty clothes, stand around at the Webster Arboretum and take pictures, then go to Bruster's and get half-off banana splits by bringing our own bananas. It was a lot of fun though.

I haven't done a lot of stuff other than that this week, except watching the Olympics once they started.
