Dust & Hooves











Well, we made it through the Terrell County Fair. We had a wonderful weekend. The kids did great! Shyanne worked the concession stand. We had some heartache with some of her grades that disqualified her from the competition. I was livid pretty much all last week. Let's just say that this was not all Shyanne. Enough on this subject. Shyanne's sheep left for San Angelo yesterday. The county agent was kind enough to take Wild Bill & Bullhead with his stock to get them out of the barn for us.




OK, on to the good stuff! Dakota won 2nd place on his painted frame, beating his brother! Yikes! That was a "fun" conversation. Dakota is raring to show goats and Speedbump next year! He says he's winning a buckle too.




Wyatt won third place on his painted frame and the pillow that he sewed. He got a participant ribbon on his clover bud picture and his peewee goat. He really expected to win with Gracie Lu but Elijah did better showing his goat and deserved to win the buckle. But Wyatt's smile soon came back when he won the Grand Champion horse. He was still holding Red Wolf when he changed out last year's trophy buckle with the new one! We had a wonderful day! The kids did great! We're going to start preparing for next year. Oh, I almost forgot I won first place with my charcoal and chalk drawing! Who'd a thunk it? Have a great week!




Thanks for all the prayers, Lynnan said that Randy's Grandma Bush has been moved to a rehabilitation center in Llano and is doing pretty good, and Caleb ( her nephew) did exactly what needed to happen with those high powered antibiotics, so they didn't have to go into his brain. Please keep Lynnan in your prayers her job is being cut back to a part time and she's searching for a full time position with equal pay! And please keep Shyanne in your prayers that this stuff going on at school will line out and not hurt her in the future.
