July 21, 2000: 12:30pm; In front of the airport
I was moving my luggage from the car with my kids. I'm remembering how my childhood was. I wondered about lots of questions about the rockies.
I was remembering how great my childhood was. I loved horses, just as now; I learned a lot about them because I lived in a farm in Chicago. I helped out my family, mostly in the house since I was a girl. But, when I deserved it, and I had time, I rode horses. I also rode them after school. At age twelve, I decided that I want to live in the rockies, and make movies about horses. I think that I made this decision based on the movie Cloud; The Wild Stallion of the Rockies. I loved that movie; it was about a woman who lived in the rockies studying wild horses. She followed a stallion, Cloud, until he was six years old.
I was born in Champaign, Illinois on March twenty-fourth, Nineteen-sixty-eight. I was out of college at age thirty. I graduated at age twenty-six where I was learning to be an astronaut. I went to another college because I didn't want to do that job. The other college was about filming, making a movie-that kind of stuff.
Anyway, now as we are rolling our luggage, I'm wondering what the horses would be like. Were there any calm horses? What about crazy? I mean that some of them will be crazy according to my home studies, but how crazy? Or, would they be crazier then in Maryland's wild horses? How energetic would they be? Will they be brave? But the question I most want to figure out is that will they be as smart as domesticated or from Maryland? Would some of the wild horses act like the domesticated? Would some domesticated horses act like wild? Will some horses be as FRIENDLY as domesticated? Would they be as FUNNY? I wanted to figure out all those questions. After I do, I'll just study some more and think of more questions.
Most of my family loves horses. My husband, Clarke adores them-I teach him to ride horses and hopefully will continue in Colorado. My three pair of twins of girls love horses. They can't wait to see the rockies and the wild horses. My other six boys would like to see them but they don't care. I have six pairs of twins. Their names are named by their age, first the youngest to the oldest: Claudia, Wendy, Justin, Omeer, Julia, Annabell, Dany, Max, Whitney, Marie, Quinten, and Harvey. That's my family.
I live in Boston, now I'm going to live in Colorado-how exciting.
Wow!!! I can't wait. Of course, I would only see the horses tomorrow. I will need to settle down. Find my children's rooms, go grocery shopping with a rented car, those kinds of things. But now I have to worry about what happens now, not then. Now the only thing that I supposed to think about myself, my family and what we're supposed to do.
