The rodeo came to town, and we decided the kids were mature enough to understand and appreciate the livestock and athletes. Well, the local rodeo is NOTHING like the large, annual rodeos back home. Bullriding was the only event scheduled, and the arena was not what we expected. The kids did not know any different, so they enjoyed the night. Jayne Elizabeth did question where the cowgirls were hiding. The reason the night was so special to me was that our closest childhood family friends son, Jacob was in Tennessee for a visit. Jacob is a cowboy, and our kids enjoyed talking horses, hunting, and hay with Mr. Jacob. Jacob now has a gorgeous family back home in Okeechobee and enjoys living on their family farm. I did get a little sad that our kids will not have the big rodeo,ranch lifestyle, large family hunts, and fellowship that Jacob and I enjoyed growing up. But, we love our new life, new friends and farm in Tennessee. Maybe one day I can show the kids my cowgirl tiara, and my rodeo picture days.
