It has been a jam-packed summer so far and I want to catch you up. First and foremost, something very special happened in June. It was my Granny’s 90th birthday and she chose to spend it in Alberta with me. It was amazing to be able to get in some quality family time and make lifelong memories with her. She even got the royal treatment with a day on Heartland where she was a background performer at Maggie’s Diner. The day of her birthday we went on a beautiful ride – this is something we do every year when she visits – but this time was extra special because it was on the day of her 90th birthday. My horse Hawk, gentle as ever, took her gently through the grassy hills. We also had a very nice time at Spruce Meadows for a day of show jumping. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better time spent with her. Living so far away means we only see one another a couple times a year, but it also makes those times so meaningful.
