DAY 60- NEW NEW NEW-a cowboy Sunday

JUst becasue we sat up late does not mean that we get to feed late..NO Sireee BOB. Gregg was up and rattling beds by 6am, and there were cattle to feed. SO we bailed out, got the feed loaded and headed out to the feed bunks to feed. With every one working in unison, it doesn't take that long to get morning chores done, and the fog hadn't even started to lift by the time we were headed to town for Breakfast.

A good breakfast under our belts, and we were ready to get home get saddled up and bring in not only the 600 pound grass cattle but also Greggs heard of 20 or so Corriente Roping Cattle. Jeremiah Horse back,,,,,,,,,,,,hey what gives I am usually on the ground where I can be of some use!!!!!!!


I get to ride the old Stud, who in fact is broke ebnough to babysit me, so all I had to do was sit and flop........the horse done the rest. We gathered, sorted, wormed and once again found ourselves finshed up and at the roping dummy just before it got dark. The call was made to get the evening chores done up, and we would go to town so I could download some work for my Blog. And with that we bailed into the feeding and watering of the cattle and horses that occupy the Sirron Ranches pens ( Thats NORRIS spelled backwards)

This time we went to the town of Norton, and I got to meet Greggs girlfirnd Jackie, and it was Jackies daughter whom had allowed me to use her computter to put up some opics on the Blog. We had a little more Pizza, watched a FootBall game............I think the third in my life and headed back to the ranch to visit and then let me pack for my Monday departure. We were all in bed by midnight, and ready to get to it.


I know that there are a lot of nice folks in this world...........but some how a Cowboy hat and a silk scarf always seem to make for a welcome stop in life. For those of us who live out west, we sometimes think that we have rodeered all the folks and held onto the ones whom are most hospitable...................but I have just met a few from way back east who must have slipped thru that rodeer and made a home in Virginia. Thanks Gregg, Eli and Jacob for making me feel so at home in my bad taste clothing and all.

Good Night and God Bless

The photgraphs are nice but nothing can compare to your words. I find myself missing my favorite tv shows. I check your blog every day and when there isn't a new entry I gasp! What am I going to do when your trip is over? -Art

I have to agree with Art. Though I am disappointed in the librarians you've found recently. Keep it coming! It appears you're on the home-stretch!
