These were 11 and 12 year old boys from around our county competing on mini-bull riding to win a big belt buckle. They were so amazing and ALL BOY! They had on chaps and some wore special vests to protect their neck and head, and also helmets. And some just went out there with a beatup cowboy hat and hung on for dear life. These bulls did not look very "mini" to us - but we are so new to all this. And the attitudes and self-confidence of these youngsters was wonderful. The older cowboys are all around making sure everything is as safe as it can be under the circumstances, and always make sure that one of them speaks to the little guys after they get off with words of encouragement. Most of the little cowboys would go down on one knee after the ride, in an obvious moment with God. It was all so great to watch - this little microcosm of America at its best.
We had a second meeting with our builder to finalize our budget. He should have all the numbers by tomorrow. The mortgage rep is just waiting for us to set a meeting to get started on the construction loan. It's all coming together. We will probably travel to Sherman today to look at some stone and brick for selection. And we also need to pick out the composite shingle. (The red tile roof was just too expensive!)
Last night we experienced some high winds. It's always a little hard to sleep when this happens. But the old trailer really weathers well. We finally had to turn the heat on last night for the first time this year.
More later. Love to all.
