Pic of John @ Gallup

Post By Funky Vintiques @ The Ranch 1 Comment

Below is a picture of John in Gallup, NM at the National Jr. High School Rodeo Finals. I am very proud of my baby! (yes, I know he doesn’t look like a baby any more)

John ended up 32nd (out of approx 144 kids) in the first go round, and didn’t have any luck with his second steer.

This is the entire Colorado Team – They are a great bunch of kids! We are proud of all of them!

We are back home with some great memories of our first National Jr High School Rodeo Finals. Next year they will be held in Ohio (I think). Lots of work between now and then.

Have a great day!

Live Simply

Post By Funky Vintiques Inspiration & Quotes No Comments

Being in Gallup this week really makes me think about living simply. Driving from Colorado south you really notice the lack of amenities down here. A lot of the homesteads are really run down, and lots of stuff (ok, I’ll say it – JUNK) in the yards. Modest housing that we are accustomed to in Colorado appear to be lacking in the smaller towns in this area.

You see people selling their wares on the side of the highway, in resturants (yes, they actually go table to table), and where ever they can find people willing to spend a little money.

I love this quote!

Road to Gallup

Post By Funky Vintiques @ The Ranch No Comments

John had his first run today at the National Jr. High School Rodeo Finals – his run was 4.4 ~ which is great. At the moment he is sitting in 6th place. I am not sure how many shoot doggers there are, but there are many – could be close to 200 kids in each event.

The boys are back at Red Rock Park, Gallup, NM, for the third performance and mom is relaxing in the hotel room with Haley d’Pug & Bear. We are watching HGTV, and getting some website work done.

This pic is of John practicing. More updates later along with pictures.

Have a great evening.
