October is my month!

 My birthday is in October and I have been celebrating it for weeks now.

I was taken on a trip to Charleston for my birthday. I celebrated with old friends at lunch on Friday. Today I celebrated  more with family.

It has rained and I celebrate that!
Today I will share some photos with you.

My sister, Gay, dressed for dancing. She has always been a dancer but put that part of her life on hold for forty years. Now she dances  for an hour or two three times each week. 

She says her strength and endurance has improved tremendously and her enthusiasm for life beams from her face. 

This lovely lady is Estelle Rice, my friend and co-author of Paws, Claws, Hooves, Feathers and Fins. She has a birthday this month also. In the picture above we were celebrating her 90th. I look forward to our lunch together in the coming week.

 

This beautiful horse,a Percheron, huge, pulls carriages and works at the Middleton Place Plantation where I visited on my vacation in Charleston, SC. His color and his build reminded me of Daisy, the farm horse I rode when I was a child. Beautiful coat, and his feet are as big as my cast iron frying pan.

Gay and Stu at the only waterfront restaurant in Charleston, SC. We had delicious fried oysters and enjoyed seeing the cruise ships and boats.

Yes, this is a good October so far. I hope it is good for you, too.
