About Me
Hi all...I'm one of those annoying people who correct signs that have improper punctuation or misspelling. I have even written to publishing houses pointing out errors I have found in books. Always editing, such a curse.
Besides that I work with disabled kids and adults in therapeutic riding, which is not annoying at all since my time is spent with magnificent horses and wonderful people.
For fun I volunteer at a kids' riding camp, cleaning stalls, planting gardens, decorating for events, and riding the world's most gorgeous horse, Chance, a Clydesdale cross.
That's it. An English nut and a horse freak. Woody
