One of my favorite blogging reads is Sarpy Sam's Thoughts from the Middle of Nowhere. Sam is a cattle rancher, a military veteran, a husband and father.
This post on gifts for the rancher's wife tickled me,
one wife I know got a new cattle guard. It was to be placed where she
had to open and close a gate 15 times a day coming and going. She would
not have been happier if she had gotten big blue diamonds.
(that's a cattle guard, a series of rails or pipes set in the ground that the cattle won't walk on, but are good to drive over. Artist here)
as did the one on The Facts of Life
The 2 most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
Thanks for sharing parts of your life with me, Sam. I am the richer for it.
Your more than welcome and thank you for your kind words. Ranchers wife's get very special gifts and I wanted to share.
