If she doesn't pop back up in a few days I can send her a card. I think I have her address. Hopefully she's just having too much fun to bother with her computer.

How thoughtful of you @majorcatfish Thanks for caring. 
Yes, I did fly out to see my sister. Had a wonderful time with her and her family. Really need to try to make that happen more often.
I've been evaluating where my time is budgeted and working on making some life changes and developing better habits.
Work has been occupying me a lot. Though I have far fewer clients than I did when I started this business 10 seasons ago, the properties are bigger and more manicured. I just added another weekly on to my list.
It's important to be diligent and on my game with them. The people who make it possible for me to buy hay, and other little necessities, need to be kept happy.
And of course the consumer of all that hay is where a lot of my time budget is going.
I'm still amazed that I am once again riding. It's a passion that I thought was only something to look back on. I find that my petrified brain is retrieving "lost" information, and my skills and confidence are returning. It's exciting to me to have a good horse partner to spend this season of my life with.
I also have many winter projects that I have put off for the last few years. Most of these involve decluttering, reorganizing and paint. Lots of paint, haha.
This winter I also need to plan out a purposeful curriculum for the Summer Kids garden class if I'm going to continue in that direction.
I don't want it to be busy work or babysitting, but truly useful as well as enjoyable for all of us.
TEG has been a part of my life for nearly 6 years, and I intend to continue (sorry to some of you!
).
However I am apparently so weak willed that I am unable to withstand the sucking vortex of internet distractions and find it hard to pull myself away. So I've been avoiding it.
If it wasn't for having a gardening business I might be tempted to toss gardening and growing things aside for the joy of riding.
If you saw my yard you might think I have already done this!
It's shameful...

Yes.
And, don't you think you have people here who enjoy riding horses? Talk to them ...
I'm glad you are back, Thistle'. Some TEG members have had real tough recent times. One imagines ... and then, hope that you weren't having some kind of struggle in your life.
Your professional experiences -- they rate right up there with the best of the avocational gardeners! You need neither a potager nor a botanical park at home.
