I went to the Ranch Rodeo here in town! I have never thought of myself as a cowgirl type person, especially growing up. Not that you have to be one to go to a rodeo! However over the past years I have grown fond of horses again! ( when i was young, young you could find me and my little brother on our hands and knees eating oats and drinking water out of a bowl!) I find the cowboy/girl thing so patriotic and I when I am thinking of it, it is the old way of things when handshakes were signatures, anyway back to the rodeo, the opening flag ceremony was awesome I felt so proud to be an American! the way it used to be, and not that I am that old but things have changed! I felt sorrow for the soldiers who came before me, for those who are now fighting. I never knew a flag and a song could evoke such emotion! The older I get and the more involved I get with our great country the more emotional I become. Thank you to those who sacrificed for our freedoms, thank you to their families who supported them, I could never express words the thanks you deserve!
Happy Freedom day America!

Words Of Wisdom!

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. ~Marion C. Garretty, quoted in A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul
The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. ~Honoré de Balzac
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

One of the very few reasons I had any respect for my mother when I was thirteen was because she would reach into the sink with her bare hands - bare hands - and pick up that lethal gunk and drop it into the garbage. To top that, I saw her reach into the wet garbage bag and fish around in there looking for a lost teaspoon. Bare hands - a kind of mad courage. ~Robert Fulghum
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men - from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? ~Milton Berle
