2nd place Friday & Saturday at the rodeo barrel racing.....i'm not into trying to be #1 or anything..i don't like competitions..it's just so i can prove things to myself....It was hot all weekend...they had water misters spraying above the crowds sitting in the seats, to kinda cool them down...still lots of people there all weekend....
i just drink water all the time so i won't get dehydrated...plus it's good for my kidneys.....everybody else was getting snow cones..even pickle juice snow cones...bleh...i love pickles but not in snow cone form....eww...not gonna try that one....
Uncle Pete, Diego, Dad, Travis, Eli, Dusty,Jeff all team roped at the rodeo...they did good....so many competing last night.....Guys really like to get into the team roping.....not too many brave enough to bull ride but Dad did do the wild horse riding.....he got 2nd....it's always kinda scary when he does that but he breaks horses for people all the time, so it's the same thing pretty much....
They had a fan donation going to donate fans to give out to needy people who needed them...i feel really sad for those people in this heat...good grief...we just found out a few days ago what it's like to be without air conditioner...and fans didn't help much!....i just think about all the people suffering in their homes this summer from the 100's degrees....all the old people...i wish i could help everyone...i can't, but every little bit helps out..we took 3 fans and donated....wish they could give out air conditioners to everyone. ;(
I feel sad for people...you should always be grateful for every good thing in your life and appreciate it...so what if you don't have the best of everything?...be thankful for what you do have...because so many people don't even have that much...it seems so easy i think for people to see all the extravagances that others have, and feel jealous...but why?...i never have...it's all just un needed extra chaotic junk in your life...being minimal is more...you need to be happy/thankful for what you do have......
material things/money don't matter to me..i've always thought a quiet porch, a rainy day, an old guitar, and a sunset are better than anything.....makes me happy...
going to the fire department fundraiser today at noon in town with my family to help raise money for the firefighters expenses...they are having a huge fish fry dinner & auction......those fire fighters are irreplaceable in these desolate areas we all live in.....especially with this drought going on....they need to be thanked.
off to work.
