Who woulda thunk?


I watched a cowboy rope a calf earlier this week.  Who knew there were still cowboys, and that I'd see one during the "get the kid to volleyball" run-around?  No lie...it was poetry in motion.  One of the most beautiful dances I've ever seen....the rope sailing through the air, and the cowboy (chaps included) sliding off his horse in one fluid motion, throwing the calf to the ground......  Wow....it made me want to pull the car over and just stand there with my arms over the side of the fence and wait to see what else I could see.  Didn't realize how that would effect me. 
In other news, Our 10th anniversary and Mario's birthday are coming up later this month.....I wonder if he'd like some cowboy boots???

Mmmmmm cowboy boots (with cowboys in them) :)

I wish I could get "my man" to wear them. When H#@$ freezes over, I'm sure. :)

When I think of cowboys, my mind goes to either Sam Elliot or Tim Mcgraw...the ultimate cowboys (and might I add that they are easy on the eyes)!
