Our girls favorite Christmas gift has to be the one that was waiting here for them at home when we got back to Orange County. It’s a little electric car, except it’s shaped like a princess carriage instead of a jeep the way most kid cars are. I have to call them in from the yard where they’ve been playing with it almost every afternoon for dinner, and it’s hard to get them to come in. You can only extend “Just five more minutes!” so many times, after all.
I haven’t gotten to ride the horse Am’s parents gave me yet, but her quarantine time is almost up, and I’ve been learning on the girls’ horses on the weekends. I can’t wait until I can take my first lesson on Mistfall, though. She’s seriously the sweetest horse I’ve ever met. Not that I’ve met that many, but still. I’m a little less afraid of how big horses are because she’s just so gentle.
Meanwhile I’ve started research for my next book. And hopefully I can get started on it soon.
