A bit of local entertainment

We've been busy, fishing and visiting with friends. Where does the time go each day? How did we ever have time to have fun while working? We snuck it in whenever we had a free minute. I have to tell you, and I'm not rubbing it in, but we are loving life and having fun! Whatever you're doing in your life, we hope you are taking time to enjoy some part of each day.

Today we met up with a fishing friend just as we were getting ready to drive the 20 miles to town for mail and groceries. He invited us to dinner at the local diner with he and his wife, and then we went to the local museum for a very enjoyable bit of cowboy music - old-time cowboy music. The entertainment was provided by Debi Zohner, lead singer & accustic guitar, and Angela Hurley, who sang harmony. They are honest to goodness cowgirls, at least as close as it comes nowadays. Their husbands were there in their boots and cowboy hats, one reporting that he had just finished up branding 900 head of cattle. We thoroughly enjoyed the traditional songs such as Tumbling Tumbleweeds, Cool Water, Ghost Riders in the Sky, and some bluegrass and gospel. They played for 2 hours with a quaint intermission of homemade cookies, brownies, coffee, and punch. Many of the songs were unknown to me, but they all told a story. We could just image the cowpokes singing around the campfire or singing to the cattle as they rode herd at night. A nice way to spend the evening. Just a wonderful, relaxing, small town, down-to-earth, toe-tapping, honest to goodness good time.
