I’ve been cleaning out my house a lot recently. I’ve discovered the easiest way to keep baby safe, and to have a clean house, is to just get rid of as much as I possibly can. Plus, I really crave a no-clutter look. I didn’t use to be like this, but now I can’t stand having a cluttered house, or a dirty house. I now clean even when there’s a high chance no one but me will know. 

But anyway, in my cleaning, I found a photo album with a bunch of pictures stuffed in the back. Back in the day, aka, late teenage years, I always hauled around a camera. This was when digital camera were going into use, and I’d take so many photos. 

Unfortunately most of the digital files were corrupted, and I can no longer access them. One of the downfalls of digital – although with all the backups I do now, the chances of that happening again are slim. But… thanks to the old fashioned printed, these photos still exist. They are still viewable!

I think these photos I may have posted before, because I had put them on facebook, which preserved them. But, since I found hard copies, here they are again!

Sadly those are the only photos I found. I really wish I had more, I still have such vivid memories of riding my horse – I had Vintage and another horse named Clay, and my friends would come over and we would “trail ride” all over the area. By “trail ride,” I mean just literally ride where ever we felt like it, with no actual trail or respecting any personal property. Kind of rude of us, looking back, but we were just kids. We were always looking for things to jump, or new areas to explore. 

I need to get out and trail ride again. There’s just nothing that compares to exploring the woods, or galloping in an endless open field.
