What a wonderful surprise when Dan & Betty stopped by for a visit on Monday evening! I discovered these two beautiful, friendly folks via their wonderful blog, Dan & Betty's Place, earlier this year. I fell in love with their lovely Icelandic horses, Gletta and Morgunn, and was excited about possibly meeting the two of them in person, when I realized they only lived on the other side of the Sandia Mountains.
Of course, while they were here, they were given the Laughing Orca Ranch Tour and Baby Doll even posed for a photo.(Forgive the photos. They were taken with the borrowed camera from Hades, whose main electronic purpose is to cause me grief. lol!)
Their visit Monday evening could not have been better timed, as they totally lifted my spirits and brought a little light of joy to me during my illness. I had also read many accolades about Dan & Betty from Max and Michelle of the inspirational Galloping Grace Youth Ranch so I knew Dan & Betty must be pretty special. And I wasn't disappointed. Dan & Betty are as genuine as they come. I'm honored to call them my Blogging Buddies, and my real-life friends, too. Thank you for visiting the Laughing Orca Ranch, Dan & Betty!
When I first devised this Alphabetical Challenge I created a list to help me with letters and words to use each day. Surprisingly, so far, I've not yet had to use it. The letters and subjects for each day have just happened on their own. How cool is that?!
Thanks to all of you who jumped in on the Letter 'A' and also left such supportive and kind remarks about my hospital visit this past weekend. Your get well wishes and caring words are much appreciated by me and my family. :-)

By visiting one blog, I too have then come across so many great people who are different in so many ways but still have something in common. Every day it seems I am bumping into a new and even more interesting blog to read and catch up on. Keep on blogging so more people can keep finding more bloggers!
Brand them all with the Laughing Orca Ranch ink stamper.
Lisa--I am so behind in looking at your blog, I didn't realize you were in the hospital! That had to be VERY scary, but thank the Good Lord all turned out well. Sorry you have to be on the bland diet, but I trust things will begin to be much better for you now....glad it wasn't your heart!
