Horse people are a community unto their own. My dear friend Nancy, a passionate horsewoman, is the one introduced me to the world of horses and riding about 20 years ago. It’s quite remarkable how much there is to learn and master when it comes to riding and Nancy loved every aspect of it. Despite my initial apprehension towards horses due to a childhood incident, I have found joy in witnessing Nancy’s daughter, Kate, and her granddaughter, Carter, embrace their love for horses. In fact, it was at Carter’s first horse show, where I was moved to tears by the resemblance between Carter and Nancy, and the enduring impact of friendship and shared passion for horses.

I have a long-standing tradition of visiting the farmer’s market, where I support hardworking farmers and enjoy the quality of their just-picked fruits and vegetables. There’s Eddie and his exceptional fruit selection and then there’s the market’s corn booth, where the sweet corn reminds me of Alabama’s produce. But I especially love “bossy produce” that captivates me with its flavors and insistence on being noticed.
