Please enjoy my posts.

 

 

Don't feel obligated to comment at all; my satisfaction derives from sharing images relating to our way of life; our travels, our hobbies. From my family, we want to thank you for stopping by and hope you have a fantastic day! Blessings to all...Life is worth living when we do and share our best~

 

My music choice on this photo: It's all in the game...

 

This time it was up to me to post a collage of photos taken over a period of time. Time to go out and about practicing with my family.

Some-times, I wish I had a camera at hand to capture a moment lasting but a second! Some days, the most amazing moments happen unplanned; without advance notice...These are some of those times.

 

Two factors run common in our family; rodeo & boots. My sister in-law said one day "I can spot the men in our family by the way they stand and their boots" Still, resonates clearly in my mind; to think someone can be identified by their stance (Mostly due to our love for horses; riding and by default rodeo) wasn't a clear signal till she said it...Now, I look inadvertently to each one of our family members and have started to notice a common thread. Each one has a definite presence by the way they carry themselves and the boots each wears. Scot is the humble man in our family; he usually is not heard or seen making a big splash. Most of us have began to recognize his strong presence by the way he usually will keep his eyes low; almost gives the impression of looking at his own boots all the time. In reality he ponders for a while before making any comments. His manners are subdue; quiet and his boots usually reflect what he plans to do on any given day. Ricky is the life of our family! His boots & spurs can be heard anytime he's around and makes no apologies for it...We really hadn't paid much attention till one day he was gone on some trip for a few days and we all said how quiet the house was without his jingle jangle usually heard the minute he step into the back veranda headed into the kitchen. His stance is very definite; placing his hands somewhere and the way he will raise his long legs one behind the other to check his boots...His spurs are his pride as much as his horses and will make either the topic of most conversations.

 

 

I usually wear my boots only when outside the house. Most times, coming in thru the back door will allow visitors the sight of several pairs lined up by the back door porch ready to be slipped into depending on the need; or work for the day. I don't wear spurs unless going riding with Ricky ( He takes care to ask you politely but point blank to put on some before heading out alongside him...) In such case mine are usually plain; small rowels to minimize attention.

 

 

Having said all of this; I realize how distinctively each one in my family carries themselves yet what a common denominator ties us together as if we were one single unit...
