80 Years Young and Gettin' Better With Age

A DAY IN THE LIFE

There comes a time in all of our lives, that we begin to realize (or, at least we should) that we can't do what we used to do.

Not quite as well, as fast or efficient as we used to.

Growing up can be a real pain- getting old is a downright bugger at times.

And it has happened, again. The 'ol Rancher has seen life sneak up on him, suddenly.
Funny how that happens.

So last Saturday, we helped the 'Ol Rancher celebrate his 80th birthday


HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY, NICK


And,of course, birthday boy gets the first slice of cake and scoop of ice cream
Even better, is knowing that we were able to leave Nick speechless.
Not being used to the center of attention, he was left having to 
be in the limelight as,
His friends showed up and showed their appreciation for all he's done
for the community and the church

Nick is the essence of the praying cowboy.

Every cowboy needs another belt buckle
and a good  set of spurs.
(Just remember, Never Squat with your spurs on)

Nick has told me many "Cowboy Wisdom's" 
Here are just a few:
There are some who learn by watching, some by doing,
Some by a combination of both-
The rest of us just have to pee on the electric fence

Never approach a bull from the front
A Horse from the rear
Or a fool from any direction

Never look down on a man, unless
You're willing to give him a hand up

And lastly:
You can go cry in the truck or
COWBOY UP!!
