As a little girl, I always wanted a pony for Christmas. Santa never brought me a pony. So in my late 40s, I started taking horseback riding lessons. When I turned 50, I got my first horse, an Icelandic named Blessi (Veigar frá Búðardal). Little did I know how much fun life with an Icelandic was going to be. Blessi has a unique perspective on life. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I enjoy Blessi. And you will probably read about my cats from time to time.

SCA tokens--the garter buckle
When you attend a SCA event, you are given a token to wear when you sign in to prove that you have paid for the event and signed the appropriate authorizations. Tokens that I have been given ranged from a glass jar of honey to a bead to a charging mounted knight. The token for this tournament was particularly attractive--a miniature garter buckle decorated with a horse used to hold up hose. I will be wearing this token frequently as a piece of jewelry.
