Fabulous Sunday!

Today has been a wonderful, wonderful day!
To begin with, the entire family was at Mass and we got out the door on time. Matt likes the new priest at the church in town and when Matt is happy, it makes everyone else less stressed out. We got out early enough to get breakfast in town and still had time to ride and get other things done. So this is our new ritual and getting new rituals established is always the struggle as things and families change-getting into a new groove. But now that is taken care of.
We got home early enough to get chores done and still be ready to ride at the right time. Brandon, one of my tutored and horse kids, came over to spend the day so I took him on a short ride on Ellie Mae. Even though she is the youngest and still a little untrustworthy, when it comes to taking kids on a ride with me by her side, she is stellar. Then us big guys went on a beautiful, picturesque ride. Towards the end the wind picked up, but all in all, it was a wonderful ride.
While we were riding, Brandon and Mr. Matt worked on the studio. Brandon had to patch Mr. Matt up because he sliced his finger. Brandon thought that was pretty cool. Now the 2 guys and Jeni are off on a road trip looking at a small bike for Jeni for work. Brandon is a "hands on" kind of kid so this has been a really good day for him too.
Now I am off to begin getting dinner in the oven. The heater is on in the den so sadly, we have to accept fall is truly here.
