Love with all your heart when God brings that certain someone into your life.... grab them and hold em tight..with all your might! Life is a dance and yes..Im dancing... :o)
Oh and besure and leave me a thought or two on what you read, the comment box is at the end of the page. Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*We don't need streetlights. We already have the stars, thank you very much. What do you mean, "What are stars?"
*For the last time, I live in the country, not in the sticks. And I am relaxed, not a hick.
When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
"Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none." - William Shakespeare
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." - Martin Luther King Jr.
*A key element of country life is self-reliance.

It's bacon and beans most every day. I'd just as soon Be eatin' that prairie Hay. From "Chisholm Trail" Traditional Cowboy song.
Some years ago in Montana I showed up at the foreman's trailer to apply for a job. His phone rang as soon as I got there, and he answered it in the kitchen. His 3-year-old boy walks in, looks up at me standing there holding my hat:
"Are you a cowboy?"
Well, I don't know. What's a cowboy?
"Ya got a cowboy hat?"
Well, yeah...
"Ya got cowboy boots?"
Again, yeah...
"Ya got a gun?
Yeah...
"Can ya ride a horse?"
Well, yeah. Does that make me a cowboy?
At this point his face screwed up into about as many wrinkles as a toddler can produce, then he brightened up and asked, "Do ya got a horse?"
Well, no, I don't have a horse.
"You're not a cowboy!!!"
Maybe not, but I was hired by the daddy listening through the door!
