Scotty, if we get more members, I may take a vacation or two each year!
When Bev & I were living in W Central TX iin Coleman, we arrived in August and was told bya rancher's wife originally from Council Bluffs IA that"Here in this part of Texas, 90% of the time we're praying for rain and 5% of the time we're praying for it to stop. Pray for rain next Sunday." I did. It didn't. Most ranchers had already sold off all but their breeding bulls.
The next summer when we drove back to Omaha for our Henry Dorley Zoo fix [A MUST SEE y'all] oh, and to bring our kids back for a six weeks visit, it rained for the first time in months. Six weeks later we took them back and while gone, it rained again. That pattern seemend to persist for aall the time we were the and by the 4th year the Bishops Committee, the coffee clatches at the four drug stores, the County Commissioners, Cow Bells and my Rotary Club were all in negotiations to fund a permananent sabbatical for us. But, they were all TXn's and each wanted the lowest share of the tab and none would give in.
So, maybe we'll look at some planned down time on down the road. . .
