Half Off Horseback Riding Lesson for Two!

by Brandy

Today’s Juice in the City Deal is for half off riding lessons at Grisham Farms located over in McKinney! This semi-private horseback riding lesson is for two people! What a special way to have some one on one time with one of your children!

They have certified riding instructors available to teach you your way around a horse as well as friendly trained horses ready for you ride.

With today’s deal it is only $35 for a semi-private riding lesson for 2! That is a great deal! Be sure to jump on it before it’s gone!

They have other animals at Grisham Farms that you can spend time with as well. It isn’t only about the horses! You can also buy one as a gift, so make it a double date with a friend and their child as well!

Wordless Wednesday, Vintage

by Brandy

I love, love, love vintage cameras. I don’t even care if they work or not. I like the way the look, I like to think about the history they may have captured. Who owned it before me?

I have been lucky to find some while hunting at local thrift stores. One even came with the owners manual where the person who had purchased it had written the year and place they bought the camera at. How cool is that?

They have a lot of character!! Actually all things vintage have this same appeal for me. I even found a vintage pair of roller skates! You know the oldschool metal ones that you strapped over your shoe? They even have metal wheels!! I’ll post a photo of them later.

For now though, enjoy this gorgeous bit of history…

I also wanted to share a photo of Morgan with one of the horses from Horse Camp, where she volunteers. Last Saturday was the last day.

Wordless Wednesday

by Brandy

We’ve had a few sunny days! I am so thankful for the sun right now! After weeks of rain, a crazy few days of snow…now everything seems to be getting back on track. Don’t get me wrong…I’m not wanting summer, but I sure would welcome spring! Nice sunny days with a breeze! Sounds perfect!

We just signed Morgan up for Softball again and she is so excited for training to start in a few weeks. I’ll be happy to take her and get some outdoor time with my camera and a book. We skipped last year, but this year she was ready to pick it back up!

One thing that the nice days brings out is happy horses! I’m so happy to see them up by the fences when I go to the J-mans grandmothers house. They are happy to see me too! Very friendly and very nosy! Check out this nosy horse for my Wordless Wednesday that is never very wordless…

If you want to use any of my images please contact me for permission….I’m a pretty nice person.

Camera Critters

by Brandy

I found out about a new meme today. It’s called Camera Critters and it runs on Saturdays. Sounds like fun, another way to show off some of the photos that make me proud. I do have a flickr account linked over in the sidebar if you want to see more. I also have a site set up called Loudmouth Photography. I’d love for you to visit! If you like the editing in my photo, I do offer photo editing as a service at Stitchblade Designs.

It’s been raining for a week straight! Yesterday though, the sun came out! I was so happy to be able to go outside and I snapped some pics of the dogs, then I went to the lake and took pics of the pinks in the sky at sunset.

After that I headed over to Grandmothers to drop Morgan off since she was staying the night. The horses were up at the fence immediately to say hi. I grabbed this shot of the horses and plan on having it printed for Grandmother as a gift.

What do you think?

Down On The Farm!

by Brandy

Thursday we attended a 4H party! It was so hot, but a great time! I just had sweat pouring down me, ew. They had goats, chickens, horses and even a go cart to ride!

Emma chickened out when it came time to ride the horse, but Lauren atleast got on the horse for a photo! Morgan rode the horse without telling me so no picture of that! She loves horses and will be taking a class starting next week at this same location that is all about horses!

Hope you enjoy the photos!
