This picture reminds me of my 53rd birthday. My husband arranged to have our horses trailered to Lake Michigan from the Rockin’ R Ranch in Bear Lake, MI so we could ride up and down Lake Michigan, in and out of the water; he succeeded in giving me a day of joy that was probably the best birthday I ever had. In fact, it was one of the most enjoyable and memorable days of my life. But, we’re talkin’ politics here, I forgot for a second.
No surprise, click here…while I didn’t know much about Tommy Thompson, mainly because I never felt like he had a chance to be the nominee and I only have so much time in a day to study candidates, I’m glad he pulled out of the crowded race having recognized that the “writing was on the wall.” Where will his supporters end up? It’s getting more interesting and a few more will be dropping out soon, I think.
I still like Mitt and Giuliani. But, I was also very impressed with Mike Huckabee since I saw him and his band, Capitol Offense, at a support the troops rally in Nashua last month.
Why do I like Mike? He didn’t seem like a politician at all, but just a very sincere person. Since I don’t particularly care for politicians…period…Mike’s sincerity is a huge plus for me. I’m going to look at him further now.
Hey, he also plays a mean guitar and seemed relaxed and having a good time himself knockin’ out the old tunes from my generation. There was some Elvis and other old classics played that I simply love and wax nostalgic over. Yep, I was dancin’, dancin’, dancin’ with some other gal who, like me, didn’t care that we were about the only ones dancin’…I try to enjoy life since I don’t know when it will be gone.
Is that enough to get my vote? Of course it isn’t. Like I said, I’ll be reading his policies to see if most of them line up with my personal criteria for picking our next President. I’m realistic that there’s not a one of ‘em that will fit everything I’m looking for in a candidate, but I have to make an informed decision before I vote. It’s my duty as an American citizen to educate myself before I vote. Well, better check out his website and see what I can find out.
I could even end up a Fred Head I guess before it’s all said and done. No, I haven’t studied Fred yet either and you know why already.
Right now, I’m really more interested in reading further about the outlaw who stole some body’s $10,000 cowboy boots. Since I’m a cowgirl, I understand what a pair of cowboy boots can mean to a person. Although, I bought a new pair on ebay for considerably less, once you find the right ones, you wanta be buried with your favorite boots on next to your favorite horse. Does anyone know if they’ll cremate your boots with you since I’m leaning toward having my ashes spread partly here on the ranch and the other half in the ocean. I’m guessing it will be no problem, not that I’m lookin’ to follow the trail to my final sunset just yet, but horse s#%*! happens…especially after you just cleaned out the barn!
Happy Trails!
