Now, let's switch over to another arena of life. Equines, teamwork, fun on a glorious day in May.
Bethany, arena and support provided by Lock, Stock & Barrel. Walking between worlds perspective is gained. Listening to others provides additional dimensions to a story, stories. And spreads the word between some interesting people met by chance. Retired nurse. Historian filling in at the Haddam library. A business owner who brought three horses into the ring, also did the CGA logo on a white trailer.

(Gymkhana is similar to field day event for schools, but for riders, horses. Display of skills, to encourage each other. Try and do, work out. Fun.) https://t.co/Ue732NBCAP

Note: Amid a tsunami of current events unfolding, a bedrock foundation of people, dedication, excellence for grounding provides the footing. To read more, know that Twitter serves as a news ticker of sorts. Facebook handles upcoming noteworthy events and news, information.
Finally, a visit to Meriden-Markham Airport, just because of a personal passion for aviation and to remember.
