A Thankful Thanksgiving

The snow is flying in Michigan while I am thankfully enjoying the warmer climate of Corpus Christi, TX, and anticipating a visit to San Antonio for a couple of days. The trip will include a Thanksgiving Day buffet dinner ....couldn't find one in Corpus Christi. 

I enjoy exploring each destination when traveling to where my husband is working. We'll share the San Antonio outing but most of the time, I'm exploring on my own.

Looks like the next adventure for me will be horseback riding on the beach. Now, I do like horses but I usually don't seek them out for a ride, when my car is so handy!! I haven't been on a horse since I lived in Florida in the early 70s. Guess who will need a refresher course? Are there horseback riding refresher courses or is it like bike riding -- you never forget? Horseback riding on the beach has requirements.

Horses On The Beach, Corpus Christi, TX
Of course, they recommend wearing jeans.......my jeans are back in Michigan -  I brought hot weather clothes. They recommend shoes that won't fall off .....my appropriate riding boots are in Michigan....my emergency snow boots are in the trunk of my car. Snow boots would work but my feet would sweat, sooooo sneakers will have to be my shoes of choice. My husband is not showing an interest in joining me, but then he is in work mode, so I guess I will head out on my own. 

The other option is to stay back at the hotel and "play" with the things I brought in my traveling art kit, or read a book, or go to the beach and watch the waves. Nawwwww, I think I'll give the Horses On the Beach a try. 

I won't promise to post photos (well, maybe one of the horse when I'm not on its back) but wish me luck...............

How do I take photos when I'm bouncing around on a horse's back?? 

Hmmm....I don't have a helmet........

Should I take carrots........

oh well......

off I go........

Blessings on this 2015 Thanksgiving!.........
