Hi Gin:

I noticed your blogs on a reply you made to Rosie and thought I'd check them out. Liked them both - but my eyes stuck out of my head that you have been to one of Buck's clinics. I just saw the movie "Buck" I even posted about in my own journal because it made such a huge impression on me. LUCKY YOU! And it says First Clinic have you been able to do another one?

I just started being able to walk - the fibro, osteo arthritis and tendonitis have kept me from it for years, but even though those things are still with me - I am having enough improvement to walk again YAY. Last Saturday I did 3.5 miles and was super, super happy about it - the best part of it though was it was all on trails that I rode as a kid when the property was a huge riding school. Now it's a regional preserve and there are plenty of horses still on those trails. Hope one day I'll be able to ride again too.

Just wanted to say howdy - because I am so awed that you did a Buck clinic. Have I said WOW like a hundred times yet, hehehee

Hey thanks for the reply..but to make more of an Awe...I had Dinner with him after the event....some of my Horse buddies are buddy buddy with Buck....he's awesome and so humble from where he came from...wonder what he would think of all the McDougall stuff...but it doesn't matter really...this I do for me....

I tried making my own last night.....soaked some seeds...not sure I loved it but we ate it...the tahini from the store deli was much better..but I am sure it had some oil....love it on steamed vegies....added garlic lemon juice and some Braggs....
