Off to Myrtle Beach for a good cause

Well Taira and I leave this evening to embarq on our little get-a-way with our horses.  Destination - Myrtle Beach.  For the annual American Heart Association ride-a-thon where over 1000 horses and their riders will be turned loose on the beach.  This is a phenomenal fundraiser!  We are $30.00 shy of our on-line fundraising goal of $250.00 (and it wouldn’t hurt to exceed it.

If you’d like to make an on-line contribution in my name as a rider - you can do so at this link:

I’ve also collected over $100.00 in cash/check donations that I will be bringing with us.  I wish I had started earlier.  If I had the time I think I could have frequented some businesses and raised a good amount.  If you raise over $1000 you get your name in the drawing for a brand new horse trailer.  Though I don’t need one, the cash I could get for it sure could help pay some bills and buy a lot of hay and feed.  But if I manage to get up to $500.00 my name would be in a drawing for a new saddle - and well… one can never have too many of those.

But even if we don’t meet that - any little bit helps and it looks like our total fundraising amount is going to be at least close to $400.00.

This is going to be a fun fun fun time (went last year) spent with horses and friends - Gods Gift to e!  So say a prayer that we have a safe trip on the highway there, a safe time while we are there and a safe trip home!  Taira is so excited to ride her horse on the beach!  I’m ready for my custom karaoke - which always gets some rave reviews because I change it up by making my own words.  This year’s hit - a remake of Sugarlands Down In Mississippi (and up to no good)- I’ve changed the words and the chorus is now Down in Myrtle Beach (and up to no good)!

Here was my 10 minute, 3 song pictoral video tribute.  Pull up a chair and enjoy! 

The first song - Me and My Gang (Rascal Flatts)- is themed to photos of us arriving, setting up, having fun at the campsites and karaoke.

The second song - Cowboys Like Us (George Strait) is themed to our riding on the beach.

The third song - No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem (Kenny Chesney) - is themed to our having fun on breaks at the beach!
