It's been a great afternoon!
To help us celebrate Sarah's and Seth's birthdays, our good friends Suzanne, Seth and Luke took us out on their horses for an afternoon of riding. My guys haven't ridden very much, but everyone did very well - no new bumps or bruises! It was my first time on horseback since 91 when I went on a ride in the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney. After a few nerves in the beginning (for both the horse and I!) it was a lot of fun.

Seth was just practicing his violin - playing Gavotte, Happy Farmer and Red River Valley on the violin - one of the family dogs Badger was doing his very very best to sing along ... it was very funny! :)
Now, I'm smelling brownies cooking ... mm mmmm very nice!
Much nicer than this ...
There's a new type of identity theft I just learned about - ATM skimming. Yes, this refers to stealing your card data and pin. Apparently the crooks can scan your card when you slide it in, then video you tapping in your pin - send all that data via a cellphone to a nifty card manufacturing warehouse and bada boom bada bing! they can rip you off!
For about $8,000, skimmers can have their own ATM overlay capable of transmitting 1,856 cards via SMS. Bulk pricing is available. And if they don't want the information sent card by card, they can dial into the device and download the data at their convenience.

What can I do about this?? not a whole lot, just be aware of the ATMs you use, and look for things out of the ordinary.
