'Cause there's one less tornado in Texas,
and a saddle that's empty tonight.
There's one hell of a cowboy in Heaven
at that big rodeo in the sky.

Rodeo Road: Showing off a little bull...
If you've been here before, you probably know my family rodeos. From Grandma right on down to the 5 and 7 year olds and the 3 year old who dreams at night of riding bulls. This weekend we honored my Daddy at the Butch Taft Memorial Youth Rodeo. Daddy raised bucking stock, including bulls. And I swear even the young bulls that we took that that youth rodeo knew this past weekend was a special rodeo. And they bucked like it, too.
I do not know how you all get on those things and ride, but it must be a huge rush of fun! SO glad you brought back so many great memories of this past weekend! It has to make you smile a special smile!
ReplyDeletewow that must be fun!! and i love the lines !!
ReplyDeletewow jane ~ I can't imagine how much fun y'all are having!
ReplyDeleteUhmmm...yea, those bulls look a little upset to me!! lol Great pictures, Jane, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics! So cool!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to honor your father. He'd be pleased. Your photos of the event are spectacular. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThey REALLY kick up those heels!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! This was so interesting for someone like me living in Brooklyn. I'd love going to a rodeo and seeing all the animals and cheering for the riders. All your pictures were just great! Your dad must have been a true cowboy to have raised bulls. Looks dangerous to me, but the young man in the pictures looks like he knows what he's doing yahoooooooo!
