Priceless…

My oldest daughter asked me why I only write about the goofy things she says and does…

Why, because the things she says and does often makes me throw my head back with laughter, that’s why!  These moments are priceless!  I am laughing all over again recalling them in my mind’s memory folder labeled “funny”!

Anyway, today was priceless for other reasons…

My daughter, Hannah,  when not home with us lives at the barn.  She is a working student and helps her instructor with the kids and horses while the instructor teachs out in the arena.  She also works horse camps, shows and recently has taken to cleaning stalls in exchange for board for a horse she gets to call her own for now.

She is maturing into a beautiful, balanced, hard working young gal and we just couldn’t be prouder of her! 

Here comes the priceless part…for Christmas, Hannah, gave our youngest daughter, Tori,  horseback riding lessons.  Between traveling and the wet weather, today was the first day we could take her up on the long awaited, highly anticipated gift.

Tori was all ready to go with her riding hat, pants and new riding boots that she bought with her own money and a smile clear up to the moon.  Hannah teaching, talking and demonstrating with her whole being.

They were adorable to watch, bringing sweetness to my heart and overflowing joy to my soul as I watched my oldest apply all the things she has learned from her patient, kind and remarkable instructor transfer to her student, who just happen to be her little sister.

I am telling you…priceless.
