Anyone Seen A Belt Buckle?

At the Chris LeDoux park dedication, it seemed that all male persons were wearing a belt buckle. I don't mean those little wimpy things that come on your belts you buy at Walmart. Some of these belt buckles were so large that if the guy bent over, I'm quite sure he would cut his stomach in half.


The buckles are worn with pride. These pictures show some of the buckles won as prizes in rodeos throughout the years.


And, they seem to start with even the youngest little cowboys...

I Can See Clearly Now...

Joe and I recently went to Rapid City, South Dakota to see an eye specialist. It was about a 4 1/2 drive from our home, but was a great ride.


When meeting the doctor, it was decided that there was a type of surgery - cold laser - that could benefit Joe's eyes and they surgery was performed with great success.

Several television stations were in attendance including CMT...(Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood were there, but left due to a sick child. I didn't see them though).

That's the Wyoming governor winking and smiling at me as he passed by me. Hello, Dave!
