An Invincible Summer - A Woman's Journey

Today I found out that my crazy, rough around the edges, former neighbor that lost his home to the bastard we call the Thomas Fire, also lost his beloved horse. My heart aches for him. Most things you can replace....stoves andshoes, clothing and couches, they can be replaced. A pet, a partner in long treks across the mountains, a bond between a person and their animal is irreplaceable A cowboy and his partner. Chris...I am so sorry for the pain that you must be experiencing right now. Love and hugs.

Great news! Remember our adoptive horses? The ones that lived along hole #5 on our golf course.  Well we found out that our horses are safe and sound. Moved to another area of the ranch. What a relief as we were fairly convinced they had been destroyed.  These guys belong to Thacher School. It's a $60k a year high school that supplies a horse to every student. Perhaps our guys were taking a year off.  I got in touch with the head of the schools "horse program", a cowboy named Cam, and he assured me that Whitey, Big Knee, Stumpy and Brownie 1-5 are doing well.  Happy day indeed.
