Meet Val Ewing: Mulewings

Meet Val Ewing. I met Val while involved in an MSN photo group. Val's uses blogger for her blog, Mulewings and also has photos posted of her mules and other things on Flickr. When Val is not working as a receptionist in a chiropractic's office, she packs her camera and whistles for her pal, Morris(terrier), to come along with her while she rides her mules in the woods. Riding for her is like breathing air. To her it's a necessity or as she eloquently puts it, "I live to ride, and ride to live." Riding and photography is a passion for her. Right now she's had to put some things on hold due to her shoulder problems(frozen shoulder). She recently had to undergo surgery and is now in physical therapy to get the mobility back in her shoulder and arm. Along with mules and photography, the other loves in her life are her 2nd husband, Rich, her 2 sons from her previous marriage, and her 3 grandchildren, writing, and hiking. One interesting tidbit about Val is her dad. Her father, Tom Rogers, was an advertising copywriter and creator of Chalie the Tuna. He also had a hand in creating other memorable ad mascots of the 60's and 70's(Keebler Elves and Morris the Cat). Val's father died in June of 2005, but will always be in her heart. Please take a moment of your time while on your computer and stop by Mulewings and Flickr by Val and tell her I sent ya.
