Thanks, Afton, for your nice comment about my dad. It was so long ago, but I hope we never forget what they sacrificed for us. We don't appear to have that kind of sacrifice in us anymore.
Hubby met me downtown because we had to pick some stuff up at the store after work. Since I was gone over the weekend, he couldn't do any shopping because ... he just can't bear to do it without me. So I have this coupon for $3 off something we need. This is a valuable coupon and I'm carrying it along with the grocery list because if I put it in my pocket, I'll forget to use it.
So I hand these items to hubby while I grab something else and when he hands it back, there's no coupon. He swears there was no coupon when I hand it to him, so I go back through the entire store the way we've come to try to see where I've dropped it. And sure enough, as we get back near the beginning, we spot that coupon on the floor. I was glad no one else picked it up and glad that I found it, but slightly miffed to have wasted all that time.
I have to say, though, that I'm pretty good at finding lost things by retracing my steps. I've helped other people find things this way as well. You just have to concentrate and think about where you've been.
It's coming up on rodeo season in these parts. There are a couple this weekend. I might go to the one that's closest to us but a lot depends on the weather and what time the concert in the park starts here. I love me some Fourth of July concert in the park.
Anyway, we live right near the rodeo grounds for the one here in town, but that doesn't happen until September and I think it's going to be during the convention this year, so we'll miss it. I like to sit outside in our yard at night and listen to the rodeo announcer and the roar of the crowd.
Just remember: real cowboys wear Wranglers. And Wrangler butts drive me nuts.
