Things around here have been in overdrive. It has been dark before we all come in the house. We are trying to get ready for the pony championship and also for the state fair plus going to see Jon Brandon. I will be putting alot of miles on a vehicle starting this weekend. We leave out 3 am Saturday morning heading for Murray, KY to the championship pony pulling, will return as soon as we get put out or our class ends. Then exactly one week from today, I pull out around 10 going to Fort Knox, KY to see JB. Will leave there coming home that Sunday. Then that following next week, I have a barrel race. After that weekend, I leave going to Jackson for the state fair where I will stay 2 days and then return home. Yup, no rest for the wicked. Oh, and somewhere in between there, I will celebrate a birthday. Not going forward, my age clock has started rewinding. I recieve a letter yesterday from JB and he informs me that he is giving up bull riding. Oh, he may hit a few rodeos but not traveling like he was. What am I going to do without my rodeo partner? It was bittersweet news to me. Yes, I enjoyed traveling with him and us doing rodeos but at the same time, my nerves were shot whenever he climbed on the back of those bulls. Do you know how many times I climbed the fence and went over before his chute ever opened? Everytime!!!!!! Like I could stop a 2000lb bull that was slinging snot and slubber in every direction. Tomorrow will find us clipping the ponies and loading up and getting all the gear in order. Also need to go and buy our drinks and food to take with us. I pray that someone knows the directions for I plan on sleeping there and back. hint hint wink wink, you boys hearing Mama?
