Dear readers.
I’ve always been rich. I’ve had family, friends, an education, jobs, a loving husband and dog. If you want to be rich in life you need family and friends. A job would also be helpful. Thus the education. Get through high school, go to college and figure out what you want to do with your life.
Grad school, doctorate, whatever you can do. Whatever you’re capable of intellectually and what you want to do with your life.
After you do all that, you might want to settle down and have a family. Have a couple of kids. You’re rich. You may come home from your job having fixed an A/C system and you’re rich if you come home to spouse and family.
You’re rich if you’ve spent an hour teaching an adult, who is illiterate, how to read. You’re rich if you’ve helped a differently-abled person ride a horse to help their balance and help with self-esteem. Or to pet a cat who has been abandoned and in a shelter. You’re rich, yes siree.
We can’t have kids and are happy to see our dog, who is even happier to see us, when we get home. We are rich in love, talent, education, friends and family. Dee

Isn’t it strange that the terms enrich and rich are so different, as “rich” is always determined on money. That was my exercise early this morning, because our enriched dog has been awakening me at 5:08 to go out every morning. It’s killing me. Dee
Does anyone wonder why we named our dog Zoe, Greek for “gift of life?” Since we adopted her and had her hips taken out her past eight years have we have been “enriched” by our mutual care and love. D
The early dog gets the first sniff.
Or the first mouse or squirrel, though she’s never gotten a squirrel… yet. D
Champ is stoked to give you your riding lesson ;-)
We’ll see how much time y’all have got, but may just hitch up the horse trailer & bring him to Turkey Day!
Luv ya, V, Z & P
