Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve written a real post (that wasn’t an article snippet or a copy of a joke). My coauthor was in town for a week, so I wasn’t on here much.
We spent a lot of time at UNC’s Davis Library Epigraphy Room. What a wonderful resource! The Epigraphy Room [...]

I rode today! =) Isis and I rode with another person at the barn in the front pasture. It was Isis’ first time there undersaddle. We were both a little nervous. Overall she was good (and would have been better if I had calmed down a little). It was nice to be back on her.

Isis hauled beautifully and did very well. She has settled in and seems to be adjusting. She has her own stall and her own turn out paddock. She is up during the day and out at night.
I discovered tonight that she doesn’t like the new water. She has been at a barn with city water [...]

To me this is even better than selling the house: Isis will be in North Carolina on the weekend of August 24th! Whee!
Finally! Finally! Finally! (Happy dance!)
This is like Christmas and birthday and Big Happy Surprise rolled into one.
It has been nerve wracking having her in a different state. I trust the people [...]

This was sent to me by a friend who also has an Arabian horse. Thought I would share it.
My treasures do not clink together or glitter, they gleam in the sun and neigh in the night. - Arab proverb
And another one I’ve used as a sig on some forums:
