Hello from Texas! I'm already having so much fun. Before I left I saw my Mom and she told me, "Have fun in Texas...but don't have too much fun. Come back!" She knew what she was talking about. Each time I visit Carrie I want so much to stay in Texas. I could afford my own house out here...with land for horses! There's wide-open spaces, huge skies, four seasons...not to mention my best friend. I feel a weight lift from me when I'm out of OC. It's calmer here...more real.
Last night I went with Carrie while she fed the horses dinner. HOLY COW is Norman huge! It was pitch black and the other two horses had already come up...but no Norman (apparently he has quite an independent streak). After a few minutes of calling I heard a thundering of hooves (and, it's truly a thundering considering his hooves are the size of big plates) and then Norman came charging up to his stall. He's massive, absolutely huggable, goofy and I couln't help but laugh when I saw him. He's two and a half years old and the size of a small elephant. I kept telling Carrie that she has her own pet dinosaur. Carrie took a few pictures of me feeding him tiny little mints. Norman hasn't quite figured out how to gently pick up treats and instead enveloped my entire hand with his huge horse lips. It was so funny!
...Carrie should be waking up in a few minutes and we'll get the horses ready for the vet. Yes, the vet. They are getting vaccinations and I get to help hold them down. I've been told Norman is an absolute lunatic when it comes to needles. This morning should be interesting!

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa
