Wreck 'em Rooth

After this weekend, I am one hot mess.  Starting Friday evening, I completely wrecked myself horseback riding.  Ike slipped on the shallow footing in the arena and I came tumbling off.  We're both okay; I'm a bit banged up and sore.  **This is why wearing a helmet is REALLY important.**  We can add those bruises to the ones that I've been accumulating this summer from being a klutz.

Other than that, my weekend was a wonderful one.  My parents came back from their trip to Los Angeles and sister and I met them at the airport.  It was quite nice catching up with them and I think they're happy to be home as well.  My grandparents out in LA are getting older and less independent, so I think Siri and I are going to make a trek out there this fall to visit them and buoy their spirits.

The rustic little house in Dallas reminds me of a home by the water in Hill Country.  Maybe there's still time to get down to float the river before the summer is over?  How was your weekend?

  1. I love the shelves around the doorway! That's pretty cool. Hope you're not too banged up, is he still tripping up a lot?

  2. So sorry to hear about what happened, Rooth:( Glad to know though that you're both ok.
    As for the house, this is my husband's taste! He would love to have our house like this. Now, if we can just win the lotto.....

  3. Darling, how are you feeling? Is Ike okay? You both need a long hot soak in a bubble bath. Maybe I'll join you.

    You keep picking houses I like. I need to add beamed ceilings and neutral palettes to my dream-house wish list. A pool would be nice too.

    Oh, and there's PLENTY of time for a float down the river. Go for it!

    PS--I'm glad you're both OK. Good grief! No more of that, if you wouldn't mind . . .

  5. I'm so glad you're okay!! Horseback riding is so scary for that reason. Be safe!!

    This house is reading very "urban cowboy" to me with all the rustic wood elements mixed with the modern touches. xo

  6. so glad you are okay. falling off a horse, well, falling in general after you are about 10 is never fun.

    this house reminds me of something and i can't say it's evoking a positive response in me. i do like the pool, the beams and the cabinets in the kitchen though!

  11. I could be very comfortable in that house. I especially like the rounded doorway.

    I'm glad you rebounded for a nice weekend. It took a bit of self-control to not be a noodge and pester you for updates. :)

  13. I'm glad you and Ike are okay! Bruises are no fun but at least they go away.

    I like the house but it's so rustic I would want the furniture to be much more modern so it didn't look like I was trying to live in a castle. The wood floors and ceilings/beams are really nice.

  14. Hope you're all better now! I tried horse riding once and rode a pretty tame horse because he's used to beginners. But when he started on a trot, I decided I had enough!

    Anyway, I am having house envy right now. I'm house hunting and the house that I really like is just slightly out of budget. So i shall live vicariously through these pictures...

  15. I have never ridden a horse but I know one person who fell and said it really hurt. I hope you are well now! :) This house has a spacious living and dining room. It's the kind I want :D
