Finally, home again! While I had a good business and
personal trip to France and Germany, I really missed the boys (four- and two-legged).
Judy and JP kept me posted, but it’s like withdrawal from my drug of choice.
Snow in the French Alps – instead of worrying on how to get up the mountain in a rental car not
equipped for snow covered roads I am imagining cantering through the powdery
snow. Good thing I wasn’t driving!
In Germany I came closer to horses, my dad took me to
Loesdau, my favorite tack shop. Well, actually, it’s more the Nordstrom version
of a tack store. While my dad was patiently sitting in the “coffee corner” I was
enjoying ‘horse junkies heaven’. The trip netted overflowing shopping bags, and
the fleeting thought on how to get it all in my suitcase.
It’s amazing, on the
way from the tack store back to my parents there are literally riding stables
everywhere. Very well designed and modern stables, outfitted with the latest
technologies (i.e. solariums). But even with all the bells and whistles offered
(micro chips so the horses’ eating, sleeping, moving can be monitored) – I prefer right where we are. A look out of my
kitchen window provides similar information and is much more fun!
