Kelly the Student

Kelly is the most awesome teenager in the world. She is really smart, witty, kind to all critters, and a pleasure to be around. She is more adult than most "adults."

Kelly reads voraciously and is a very good student. According to her mother, she usually gets all A's with an occasional B. She was in the more difficult courses. She plans to work this summer.

Topper

I had the privilege of riding topper on a couple of occasions. The gait on that guy is AMAZING, so smooth it is like a rocking horse when doing " the walk".

He and I also have the dubious distinction of having fallen in a ditch filled with snow together, which not every southern woman can claim the honor of

  doing. I learned to be wary of snow banked edges of dirt roads in VT while horse back riding in the winter that year.

He is a delightful guy and I was really bummed that the weather sucked too badly for a ride this thanksgiving, 1999, because it was raining and such. I would even have braved the 10 degrees, and had my long johns and all, freshly purchased from the ski shop in Richmond.
