Tongue Communication

It may be hard to see but if you look closely Lucy and the horse (with the sleezy on - sleezies are the latest in keeping your mane down) appear to be communicating via tongues. I wonder what they are saying??? I've got big loves for you??? Actually, in Lucy's world, she thought the horses were just big dogs and didn't pay much attention to them.
Now, the cows were something different. Besides bellowing outside our rig all night (they're in a pen behind us) she was curious about them. Wasn't too sure she wanted to get too close but she did watch as the young cowboy attempted to bring the calf down. I watched for awhile and then had to leave. I felt for the calf. They kept doing it over and over. How would you like someone wringing your neck just for sport (and points)? And, we volunteered for the National HighSchool Rodeo next summer???
The Junior Rodeo is being held here on the Moses Lake Grant County Fairgrounds. Lots of cowgirls and cowboys. This young lady lost her hat on her first barrel and then lost her horse at the next barrel. The horse stumbled and down she went. She wasn't hurt, but upset since she was disqualified for this event. Her grandma and grandpa were sitting in front of me and did much sucking of air when she went down.

I hope the calf thinks it's a riot to rough-house with the Stupid Human Kids.

Didn't realize it had been so long since I read your blog, Lucy. Sounds like you're having a good time though.

Hope all went well in Moses Lake and you had big sales.

Ran into Edie at Safeway today, she seems a little more resigned to her 'fate' but still moaning and groaning about it all. Says she thinks Becky may not be happy anymore either now.
Bob passed his first test with the calling agent program we're working on. They had a problem getting the proper email to me for some reason so I didn't get to take my test until today but I'm happy to say I passed 100% on that one. I'm ready for the next one.....
It's about 102 here today, hot, but not miserable yet. I'm quite sure you're glad you aren't here.
How's the table cover working out?
More later.... take care,both of you.
