This past weekend I got the chance to do something different, but fun, and for a good cause. My older sister, who lives in Yerington, Nevada belongs to a group that has put together a horseback ride event to raise money for families in their area that have been hit by the awful experience of Breast cancer, or just cancer. Each year a ride is made, to create donations for this cause. This year I, my younger sister and her granddaughter drove out to Yeryington to support this effort. There was a silent action, a raffle, and a potluck lunch planned. They began the affair in the far cornor of a ranch out there which had an access to the open dessert. Beautiful ride, with all the spring flowers out, and sandy terrain. ( some rattlesnakes!) But very OK. Another thing they had was a prize for the pinkest outfit!! Well, those folks take this seriously! I met two ladies traveling together who both rode mules. One mule was white, another was a guess a pinto- - - - but I know all the white on both was painted bright PINK!!! Yes, that made the white mule very PINK!.
Wow, Ida! This is a special event! Quite memorable for you ladies! Cute pink mule! Love the beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a good thing for the area, it seems so recessed right now. We had fun, and I didn't get any pictures of the grandaughter! She is so cute at 14, and rides well. I love quilts, my older sister made me one, too, its not quilted yet, but soon!
