We're settling down after all the wedding intensity, and spending a day at Abbott Acres really helped. Nothing like a warm Texas evening at the rodeo (pronounced ro-day-o, according to Tom) with good friends to get your mind in a different place. I sat in front of a family who was all dressed up in their best cowboy gear. They had the cutest children and I couldn't help but take a picture of the little boys. The dad saw me click away and said "That will be twenty dollars." During the events I'd hear the same man commend the best performers: "Ride 'em! Ride 'em cowboy!"
The next morning we headed off to the Bonham Ward's Pioneer Day Breakfast. Elijah went to town on the best home-grown canteloupe and apples; Grayson tormented a cage of roosters someone brought to give away (we didn't take one home) and played pioneer games. Tom played barefoot basketball with the youth in the gym (he had worn sandals) and I ate and talked and breathed in the fun, small-town air. To Texas!
